It’s not easy, and I only have this courage online where only words can hurt me. I also don’t talk about this stuff on sites where my family can see what I’m saying, at least not yet. I still don’t mention crossdressing IRL except to people that I trust or my psychiatrist, and that took years to get the courage up to do that.
Hell, over a year ago, I went and bought my first dress, and it was very scary. I wanted my brother to go with me, and I debated putting it off, but then I went and did it and nothing bad happened when I told the sales clerk at the Dress Barn in Charlotte that I was looking for a dress. They treated me with respect, not shame for being a guy that wanted to buy a dress. It was nerve-racking but liberating, but it’s hard as hell.
If I make it look easy to be a guy that’s all about women’s clothing, just know that I have struggled and sympathize with everyone that doubts themselves because they want to wear the clothes of the opposite gender. My hope is that I can help people not go through what I did and to accept themselves right away.
Furthermore, I hope people can find it in themselves to accept who they are and be proud of it, and for those that can’t express themselves because of the threat of persecution, homelessness, or worse, have the courage to endure their situation and the fortune to find some way out of it.
