It's funny how life's path can be like crazy paving. Even when you have an idea of the direction you're still unsure of each step. I'm a person who doesn't have a plan in life. I have targets but no overall goal. Other than just being happy.
I have learned more about myself in the last year than I have in ten. I would not have guessed that I'd be where I am emotionally and politically.
Six years ago I said to myself that I was going to be a model. To have fun with it and to be creative. I now look at my twitter profile and see fewer models and photographers and an abundance of LGBTQ supporters and "SJW's". I'm reading more about trans issues and gay rights.
Having grown up in an old fashioned family it's not been easy. I love my parents to bits and I wouldn't change them. But as they are of an older generation they aren't as open to the LGBTQ community. Now don't get me wrong, they are not homophobic or transphobic. They don't hate they just don't "agree".
As I'm coming out to my friends as a cross dresser most (typically) saw it coming. And the rest aren't bothered.
Me; "I'm a cross dresser."
Friend; "Really?"
Me; "Yeah. I came round yours once in a black skirt and nail varnish."
Friend; "Oh right. I just thought that was just you being you."
But I'm lucky to have friends who are supportive.
I feel that I have grown as a person. I feel like I have a purpose. I don't feel restrained. Like a great weight has been lifted. And more importantly I feel happy.
I'm a black pansexual cross dresser and I'm happy to be here.
