I ...I'd describe it as progression with growth. I fit into the "unqualified yes" category now, but in about 1995, I would have been in the "No" category, because I wasn't out at all.<br /><br />Somewhere around 2001, when I was frequently going to "private" meetings of the Seahorse Society 2 hours from home, I moved to the "yes, if s/he is trans too", because some of the others would change on the way in and out of meetings, and I changed once on the way out of a meeting.<br /><br />Once I got my ears pierced, I assumed that people would be able to figure it out. I then went on to grow my hair out and epilate facial hair, and a few years ago began having my nails long and painted all the time. Having reached the point of assuming that people could figure it out, I saw no reason to hide.<br /><br />Add in abandoning wigs in favour of my own hair a few years ago, and I don't see much sense in trying to maintain an artificial distinction that has shrunk as my male and female presentations have become more and more like each other. People who know me en femme generally have little difficulty recognising me et homme unless they have created a psychological barrier that prevents them from seeing me as the opposite gender.<br /><br />I'm the same person, regardless of presentation. In many ways, I'm tempted to dump my female name and either use an abbreviation that fits both my male and female names, or simply use my male name all of the time.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938113045192081875noreply@blogger.com
