Besides, the more people who see us as who we are the better off everyone will be. I've never ever had a problem with anyone that I've interacted with in public. It's been my experience that no one really cares.
As we can see from the resistance to gays serving in the military and the need for equal protection laws (in the USA), there are a lot of people who "care". I don't think they should and you don't, but they do. And that's just in civilized countries. There are countries in the mid east where you would be stoned to death for dressing as a female.
