I know this is an old topic, but as it has come to the front again and as i have just started my journey I would like to comment.
I think too much emphasis is placed on the physical person by society. According to society in many countries, if you are born male or female there are certain and very specific expectations placed upon you. At no time does anyone, except for the psychs, look at your own character and yet it is your very character that sets you apart from any one other person on this planet, not your gender.
Personally I think your own character, and by that I mean how you think and feel, should dictate how you dress. I like to wear stockings and dresses and all things pretty, funnily enough my wife likes to wear shorts.
What everybody needs to realise is that: we are born, we live on this planet a very short time, then we die. Why should it be such a big issue if I, or CindyJames, or Barbara wants to wear clothes that match our character, but not our outsides.
I know it is, but it shouldn't.................. Rebecca
