Do you feel guilty about crossdressing or being transgender? Sadly, many of “my girls” tell me that they do.
If you feel you have to lie or sneak around to keep your feminine side hidden, I can understand the conflict.
But let’s get one thing straight – there’s nothing wrong with crossdressing or being transgender. Period.
We live in a world with very defined gender roles. Unfortunately, these roles are even more rigid for males.
It’s OK for women to express their masculinity by dressing like tomboys or by acting strong and assertive. But if a guy looks or acts feminine, he’s labeled as weird, weak, or gay.
The underlying message is that it’s OK to be masculine (even if you’re a woman), but femininity is something to be ashamed of.
What the heck!?
Society is slowing changing, but the time to reject these outdated messages is NOW.
I think Iggy Pop said it best:
“I’m not ashamed to dress like a woman because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.”
There’s no shame in changing your gender to match who you are on the inside either!
I’d love to hear YOUR thoughts on this topic…
Do you struggle with guilt or is it a non-issue for you? If you’ve overcome feelings of guilt, how did you do so?
Please take my poll and leave me your comments below!
Love,

Nunca me he sentido culpable de ser trans, al contrario, de lo que me he sentido culpable es de no haber hecho algo al respecto y ocultar quien soy, ahora a esta edad entiendo quien soy y ya les estoy diciendo a todos que soy esa mujer que escondi ,y que ya no voy a ocultar nunca mas.
I feel guilty but in a trans-temporal way. You see, I kind of remember that I was very happy as a dandy and as an aristocrat in the nineteenth century but now I find that this somehow does work for me in this present incarnation and I find myself slowly becoming more feminine all of the time. I still feel that I should be a man yet want to be the greatest woman I can be and I am slowly getting rid of this inappropriate and nasty part of my personality. Not only am I a trans woman but a trans-temporal one! I also find that this incarnation is humiliating but at the same time I am always learning something and I am pampered now!
