Sometimes, you're in the right and you have to say so.

Sometimes – you have to argue! Because they are in the wrong.

You MAY say that it’s just your point of view versus mine. You may say that you have ‘facts’.
I can and will say the same.

Is there ANY likelihood of finding a position where we can both agree?

I want to wear dresses, skirts and all the pretty things that women wear. Why is this a problem – because a loud and occasionally noisy percentage of men – and women say this is wrong.
Because I’m a man. A man who wears dresses, skirts and lots of things in pretty colours and soft materials. SO unmanly!

I’m a man – not especially proud of my penis – but it’s what I’ve got and I see no especial need for surgical reformation. In very colloquial terms, I have a dangle. I’d like to find an equivalent word for ‘a lady’s front-bottom’ - what a grotesque phrase’. I’ve not adopted any surgical or chemical adaptation – despite some temptation. I've tried wearing a gaff - and it's not comfortable. And keeping clean and sweet the several that are required over a week is ... tedious. My curves are the outcome of occasionally brutal physical coercion and my boobage is a minimal but effective 42C solely by the aid of falsies and fillers.

That’s me folks. Mid-thirties, by age, waist, hip and ordinary chest. Cylindrical. Unfeminine in body, but not in mind.

And I wish to continue – behaving somewhat neutrally and dressing like a woman.

I do not know what sort of ‘god’ it might have been who dictated those hundreds of ‘laws’ in the jewish-christian bible [note the lowercase] . But I am very certain that in the multiple transcriptions, rewrites, translations, amendments and so on – that the word of priest / ruler / authority / man has slipped in a bit often.

By the time, the earnest zealot has cherry-picked their choice of laws to obey and laws with which to attack – there’s not much christianity left. In my view. Not a whole lotta love, eh?

So – some version of this magical text says ‘god abhors the male who wears women’s clothing’. What does he say the priests and their followers should do about it. Not a word. Nothing about scorn, spite, abuse – just nothing. The punishment or whatever is to be left to this god. That's his word. Allegedly.

There’s times I look for a quotable quote … and ‘pop’ one arrives. Not always.

‘There are two sides to every dialogue, but if you accept the other side's terms without demanding equal time for your own, then they control the debate and its outcome.’
‘The bigger the lie, apparently, the more likely the uninformed were to accept it, simply because they couldn't believe any government would tell such an absurd story unless it were true.’
‘Stupidity and Bigotry can be their own worst enemies. This doesn’t stop them being YOUR enemy nor in them being ruthless, vicious and deadly. And once you’re dead – you’re not that effective except as a reminder.’

Having added these, I think I’ll leave them to see of a comment arises. It would be too blunt to quote Goebbels or any recent politician ‘if the lie is big enough and repeated often enough then (for many) it becomes the truth.’ Strange, somehow I’ve just typed all those words even if I added the (for many).

Going back - I’d like it if the general reaction was ‘nothing’. To be able to proceed about my life in my chosen style and that nothing should happen about it. I can cope with disapproval of my selected clothing especially if the colours don’t match.

That’s enough for today.

Just do the necessary skin and hair maintenance, slip into a pretty nighty and nighty-night.
