I don't know how young you are but how would you like to be over 50 and your whole life you wished you would have come out sooneer. You kept those feeling pent up inside for years. Had your highs and lows but deep down inside you feel better dressed as a woman and feeling feminine is the greatest feeling ever. I believe is is a CURSE being a crossdresser, but it is heaven when the mirror smiles back at you as a girl. Talk about a wild ride forget what normal is if you comeout as a CD to the world. Yes the public is more accepting and I feel that if I was 17 at this place in time I woul;d want to live as a girl full time. Life can be cruel and decessions harder. To those that looked FEAR in the eye and went with their heart. I commend you for being true to yourself, I guess I am a chicken sh!t like many others and I can not accept the WHAT IF!!!
