I'm not saying this is a bad thing, obviously women are going to feel safer around men who present feminine/who seem queer/gay. but it is absolutely astounding how much more warmly I am treated by women when I'm out looking clearly queer -- going out in eyeliner, wearing a choker, lip gloss, nail polish, shorter shorts, etc, as a man.

I absolutely love it. It makes me feel like I can connect with women so much more easily and form friendships with them so much faster. It's like a distance I always felt but didn't quite realize was there vanishes, and I adore it.

Only thing is, I'm still attracted to women, and the majority of them think I'm gay if I go out presenting in this way, lol. I have decided, though, that the right woman for me wouldn't mind/would like and appreciate it. So I'm not changing a thing.

Ultimately, I've absolutely loved getting to present feminine. I feel so much more "me," alive, and happy doing it.
