I have lived my life digging for the answers to the who, what, when, where, and why's of life. Some couldn't care less, that is who they are. I have a tendency to over think things, that just makes everything much more complicated.
I tend to look at many things now, based on what's inside the package, rather than what the wrapping of the package. We have Schroedinger's cat, or Crossdresser dilemma, cute thought, and some believe they are different when the package has a different covering. That's fine if you look at it that way, but I still see me, quirks, and all.
Who is the authentic me? I'm someone who has a blend of masculine, and feminine traits, who accepted myself as this quirky character. Some may say that my feminine side exhibits the feminine part of me through my clothes. I see into my character, and it is found in the mix within me through various character traits.
All of this can be likened to looking for perfection! Good luck to anyone searching for perfection, I think they are looking on either the wrong planet, or universe. "Pray that there is intelligent life in outer space, because there is bugger all here on Earth". "Beam me up Scotty!"
