The bottom-line is there is usually some type of fear or reservations that hold closeted cross-dressers back. But there is
no shame in being fearful as it is a perfectly normal emotion. I am the first to admit that it was fear that held me back.
No-one has said (especially me) that you MUST come out of the closet - if that is what you must do in order to be happy,
that is fine. However for me personally, I couldn't be happy living the way that I was previously & I was one of the MANY
people here who found true peace-of-mind, happiness & freedom by coming out. No-one has said that coming out will be
easy, it isn't all rainbows, unicorns & butterfly like some might imagine it is. Coming out is extremely hard for most people.
It takes a hell of a lot of intestinal fortitude, guts or balls to come out, but it takes even more of the same to go to the
next step and fully transition. But having said that we don't go through this to look tough, we come out because we simply
cannot continue to live our lives as anything else other than as our true selves.
I just wonder if the closeted CDing community can ever be learn to be honest enough
to at least admit the truth about why the do really hide themselves away in the closet.
PS: I am off to see my pyschologist in about an hour or so. So I am going to ask her some questions
about this topic this morning, just to get some feedback from a professional who works in a gender
clinic dealing with these types of issues - so I will be sure to post my feedback later on today![]()
