Coming out to my peers
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 7:22 pm
Hi girls,
I joined a musician forum back in June, under a new nick, but have been going there for over a year, under a different nick. I did this because I am a known associate of a person there, who is my best friend, and he gets a lot of business from there.
I wanted a new nick because I wanted to confront bigotry, and closemindedness, but did not want to cause my friend to automatically be a part of the controversary attacking bigotry would cause.
Well, two nights ago, I came out to all of them, and admitted I was a crossdresser. I was expecting it to be pretty bad because open bigotry is permitted there. However, quite delightfully, I have been very well received, and in fact even got some support and was thanked for bringing up and sharing information.
Here is the link to that thread for those who wish to read it.
This is not for the faint hearted, there is bad language and people are not always nice. Be warned!!!!!

I wish to record another victory in our attempt to get acceptance.
Love always,
Elizabeth
