Cross-Dressers are just like woman?

Hey Sis.

I have read your post over three times now, and do not know what you are trying to say.

You say you have a different attitude. Different than who? You say you don't wallow in pity of self-doubt?

I don't understand? I do not see anyone who posted here as doing that. With the exception of one comment, I can agree with every thing you said here. What am I missing?
When I wake up in the morning and my toes touch the floor, my toes are every bit as dainty as a GGs. That is part of who I am.

I am not intending to confront you, I would really like to understand the thoughts behind your words. The only thing I can come up with is that you might be saying that there is no need to talk about these things. But I am not ready to believe that.

It almost sounds as though your emotions might be in a twister. Help me out here?

Hey Sis!
First, stop reading my posts! If they begin to make sense I am in real trouble! -- uh, just kidding, Let me think! It was late and its late now, but I will try and explain as best I can. I was attempting to say that some of my sisters seem to be struggling with their CD'ing and what to wear and when to wear it and how to structure their first outting. Where to go what to do how to react if confronted. How their family and friends might react, etc., etc. I have seen such change in a lot of the girls here and the growth that they have experienced and the pride they feel as they break down one barrier after another. A lot of the time when I read these posts and I reminise as to where they were and how much they have grown it does make me cry - tears of joy for them! As for me, I guess I was simply saying I am fortunate that I did not have to deal with a lot of those emotions, conflicts, etc. I progressed to where I am with little emotional conflict - within myself at any rate. I simply accepted the fact that I am what I am, that I had been supressing it for most of my life, but when I "came into my own" I accepted it fully and after extensive research, I further determined that it was a good thing and with the support and information that my sisters here gave me - I determined that I am who I am and I/Virginia love who we are and we stroll hand in hand down the garden path, no remorse, no looking back, no regrets! Maybe I missed something by not having to deal with some of the things a lot of my sisters had to deal with, but my point is and was - there is nothing I can do about that so I deal with what I can and move on.
Darlene, honey, thanks for caring.
Love ya,
Virginia

While I believe that to be true, we probably miss something by not having to deal with the things you have had on your plate. I think that is true of everyone.

Thanks for explaining things honey.

I totally and wholeheartedly agree with Alexandra.

Perhaps they are not so much a mask (makeup, intelligence,beards etc.) as they are glimpses into aspects of our personalities by our choices and statements.

I vote for being ourselves and letting our outsides/insides reflect how we feel one day at a time.
We are all entitled to changes.

Food for thought

I believe masks to be an integrated part of our personalities...No?

You pose a good question Darlene.

It's all a question of how you look at it ,I suppose.

Some people feel more confortable wearing masks while others are more comfortable revealing things rather than masking them.

Whether you feel you are masking or revealing, what really matters is that you are happy with the person underneath when the mask comes off and likewise that you are revealing things that you are OK with and have come to accept about yourself.

Does that help explain my original thoughts some more , I hope?

I believe masks can be worn for two reasons, I think the ones that need to be recognized are those that have been put there in order to cover or hide ones insecurity. They are the ones that cause trouble.

I think we are saying the same thing Lefty.

From reading some of your posts, Darlene , I think you are right
