I'm genuinely suprised I'm the first person you've heard use the term in a non-derogatory way. I'm a hetero with very limited contact with the LGBT community and yet I'd already heard the term used in a cool way multiple times, both in conversation and even in mainstream culture (Ru Paul?)
If you just type sissy into google or YouTube one quickly finds the term used of this gay/CD/BDSM subculture, including videos, a Wikipedia entry, academic literature and multiple sissy discussion forums.
I'm guessing by people's reaction so far there isn't much awareness here, and not many sissy gurls/boys have frequented this forum??? I hope I'm wrong, I'd like to discuss this with folk who are the 'inside' so to speak, so I can think about this aspect of my identity more clearly.
