Isha, I so love your perspective on this part of our lives. I for one have become more accepting of this part of myself this last year and many things you say are so true one especially being we have to learn to laugh at ourselves as well as understand we are still male. Also to keep in mind not everyone will understand us as to the whys.
Also I wonder Isha have you ever considered writing a book on your CD life as well as the many aspects of this life?
You articulate things so well I think you could do it with success
