For all of the "girls" who have been "Interrupted"

[Anne Bonny]

So, I am a guy who feels like a girl and who has many similar desires, preferences, interests and emotions. I like being who I am. I like being with and around women and spending time with them. I like wearing their clothing because I like their clothing. I like how make up enhances how I look with a feminine hair style...granted with a wig now after cutting my hair. I like their shoes why are girls the only ones who get to enjoy wearing sexy feminine and pretty footwear? I like having my fingernails painted in some pretty color, like having smooth hairless legs and body. I like the pretty floral scents of their lotions and deodorants. This is who I am inside. Why is this attacked by society? We are not hurting anyone. We do not influence anyone to be as we are, you are whoever you are.... I suppose if you find out you might like this too then it may be who you are but you never knew it. Thing is... I didn't make you this way.

Labels...nope! Yeah...Our site places a label but you know it may be inaccurate because I do not believe we are cross anything and how can clothing be inappropriate if who you are is a certain way inside? Isn't this just who we happen to be? And shouldn't anyone who wants to flip out over it just mind their own business? If they do not want to be around us, why don't they just go somewhere else!? We are not a threat to them! In this day and age who doesn't share domestic tasks?

Why am I even afraid to be who I happen to be even inside my own home if someone is there who doesn't know and/or who likely would not approve of who I am? Why can't we answer the door? How about getting our mail and
acknowledge our neighbor or neighbors and why should our neighbor's be upset? we are not contagious, we are not a threat to anyone - are women a threat? We cannot influence anyone to be as we are unless they are already having questions inside their selves because they may be like us. Is being like a woman immoral or perverted? Does being like a woman make me a pedophile!? Are women pedophile's? Why shouldn't children learn that it is alright to be whoever you happen to be inside as long as you are not a threat to anyone? I am not gay, it is a separate issue but that is not contagious or immoral either You just happen to love whoever you happen to love. Why shouldn't I be able to go shopping anywhere, go out anywhere, go get my groceries and drive anywhere?

Seems in this life it is considered perfectly alright to try to attack and eliminate/persecute any who are not well understood or who happen to be different and attempt to drive them out of public view, out of jobs and neighborhoods etc. Men, I do happen to be male, and I do happen to live and present as a male much more of the time because of this persecution but I am different inside and always have been. For many of us it is like that movie "Girl Interrupted" except for those of us who are made of stronger and more stubborn stuff and who are not going to take it! I have allowed my life to be horribly "interrupted" hiding who I am since as a child I first tried on a dress and some pantie hose left on the back porch of my grandmother's rental house because I wanted to. I had to hide this, I knew that I did because I would have been in a lot of trouble ... In the world of my childhood so very long ago...this would have been seen as immoral, perverted, and just wrong...insane calling for swift intervention with emotional and physical punishment and close observation and probably reminding taunts after to show me that I am definitely not allowed to be who I am or to be allowed to explore to see if this is or is not who I am...62 years later I am the same as I was then I am a boy who is as girls are inside my head in some ways -- it is who I am and all that has been accomplished is to have treated me in a horrible way over my entire lifetime. I am sorry but I definitely do blame rigid and inflexible beliefs claiming to be the truth and intolerant of any who do not fit what is expounded as being that. I mean there are things that are immoral and bad...but how can being who you are inside be a bad or horrible thing unless it leads you to harm other people? 

I do not mind being male...I know some do, but I do not see myself certainly now at age 62 climbing over that fence to leave being a male behind for what remains of my life...while that is definitely a course for many of us, it is not the right one for many of us either, especially for those who are 100% heterosexual all of the time no matter what we feel or how we look...because of who we happen to love...and that being women. What is wrong with being a husband, father, and grandfather or breadwinner? nothing if that is the role that is right for you. It may be for some they do desire the role of supporting our spouse, nurturing and raising children and fulfilling that kind of a role that could include a career and not minding domestic tasks or sharing them.. In this day and age who doesn't mind sharing domestic tasks? Must be a real neanderthal!!!
