I was just thinking about this and wondering what your perspective is.
If you get caught, or if you're coming out to someone, is it better to play it off as harmless fun and have a laugh about it, or give them a serious talk about self expression and gender identity?
I would say the former. Any serious talks I've had about CDing felt awkward and I'm sure they made the other person uncomfortable. I've had far better luck getting people to accept me by joking around and being fun about it.
