I'm wih the others and think this is an excellent thread, one that is thoughtful and we each can contribute to.
Early on I thought it was more important to accept my femininity from within. Though passing makes life easier for TG people, I have no illusions that I could pass in a close encounter. It is enough for me that I be treated with dignity. My hope is that society comes around to valuing all people regardless of their gender. I find feminine males as valid an identity as macho males and that works as well for our FTM brothers and feminine females.
