As I see things, all that is important is being free to "be" whatever no matter what other people think. In the USA there are cities that are more open minded towards those that dont fit the stereotypical male role. I live neer enough to one such city. There is the norm to be out of the norm.

That's me sort of. As from the looks of me in my sig pic below, I make for one sexy CD...LOL. At least to me I do. What other people think is none of my business. I like to dress up...as they say here in the states, in full drag.

My hope for you BrokenBluebird is to feel free to be you...as you see fit. Forget what others think, say or do, they don't live in your body.

Getting confortable and free to be, can take time, as it has been going for me. Keep post and sharing your experience here. I'm new here at psychcentral.com too, but the support is wonderful here.
