"Sometimes I wonder if I have become too self-centered" is hardly the descriptive phrase that defines you. I have read all your posts. If I were to ascribe terms to describe you I'd start with confidence. Confidence in who you are as a person. Clothes do not make the person. I suspect you're the same person en drab as en femme. Along with confidence I'd thrown in a good dose of self-esteem. I suspect any man appearing as a woman will raise eyebrows. Be subject to scrutiny. It may take awhile to be accepted for who you are and not be defined by the clothes you wear. From the manner you present yourself I'd say the clothes are not a problem for you. The clothes may be a problem for some of the people you encounter. Do you pass? Yes, in all the ways it matters.
