The closet CD longs to be out.
The out CD gets to deal with the baggage of being out.
The closet CD doesn't have to worry about the baggage.
The out CD doesn't have to worry about hiding anything.
A non-passing TS has to worry about not being taken serious or ridicule.
A passable TS has to worry about having her past revealed.
An out CD really enjoys the dressing up en femme.
A TS may soon grow tired of the hassle of being pretty. (Me, I hate "dressing up")
A non-passing TG can say "yep this is who I am" and no one questions.
A passing TG may get scrutinized or accused of being fake cause some are jealous.
Doesn't it just bite how no matter what your gender status, out status, or looks, there is always going to be some kind of challenge?
Mine - Non-passable TS who is out. How do I feel? It is nice to live mostly as I want without hiding, but there isn't much "fun" to be had anymore. I don't worry about "what if they find out?" but do worry about being taken serious.
thoughts?
