I So Wish People Could Understand...

I told my mother once and it was never talked about again. She passed two years ago and I have since grown my hair out and go out more often. My family has grown apart over the years since my dad passed nine years ago. My So is supportive and we understand each other. I'm one of the lucky ones.

Tiffany , your words also as beautiful as Valories xx 😘

Everybody is an expert and are all to willing to give their(wrong) opinion. The key to dealing with these pseudo-experts is through education and information. Most people are ignorant about such issues as cross-dressing. It is up to us to slow educate and inform people. The reality of such ignorance that once people actually get to know people with certain behavior, and learning they are normal people that just happen to do something different then they do, they come to an acceptance. This is best exemplified by the gay/lesbian acceptance. While obviously not universal, as people actually get to know a gay or lesbian person, they realize they are just people like themselves that just happen to have a different sexual orientation. The best thing that has happened to that community was coming out of the closet. That person you knew in school that you now know is gay is still the same person you knew in school. I am certain this applies to us as well. We are a missunderstood group. People have all kinds of preconceived opinions and crossdressers, and why we do it, which are likely wrong. No doubt many of my friends have a notion of what cross dressers are like and why they do it, but know know I am a crossdresser, and would likely be shocked to find out this person they have known for so many years, and considered to be a "normal" person is "one of those." I admit that I am not ready to come out to family and friends, but am out somewhat in public trying to show that a male in a skirt is not an abnormal thing.
