Hi there Theresa,
So glad to read that you feel that everything worked out for you and your surroundings. And sorry, I now see that I chose 'sparring partner' wrong. In Dutch, sparring partner literally means someone where you can have good conversations with and share ideas with. And because it sounds so English, I thought it was the same in English. But because of your reaction I google'ed 'Sparring partner in English' and I see that it has a very agressive connotation in English. So that got lost in translation! We actually have a good relationship and I see them as equal, but they, as you pointed out, don't always see that the same way and my dad shows that in his disapprovals of my way of expressing myself trough piercings (not to even mention my brother's, in my opinion very nice, tattoo's).

Haha, Sherry, that might actually be fun indeed, CD'er or not! We might give that a go :D And now I think about it, my BF really likes wearing my glittery socks and he borrows one of my cardigans a lot (not the most female thing I own though, ghehe).

Also an interesting perspective, Rhonda. I do must say that the people who say: Don?t!, dont make me not want to explore any further. I think that the idea of discussing it further with my mom is a good one for now. And do you mean you didn't come out because of internet stories/reactions? That is very sad. It is an interesting way to do explorations via the net or forums; when you don't have developped your own stance yet, it can be a logical thing to one-on-one take on the stance of another person. That's why I like it so much to read so many perspectives here, it helps me form my own opinion. Thank you for sharing!
