[Superb]

Tbh, I backed her into a corner where she had no choice in the matter. I think she finally was able to reason with ease the public persona vs who I am. Let’s face it, 90% of mtf do not pass and look like a train wreck, and that’s what she freaked out about. When she realized I share her same worries, then things eased. As it is, the only thing we don’t share is shoes. Everything else fits. On occasion I’ll wear her jeans or shorts. I’m not interested in acting feminine, so she knows she won’t be subjected to public scrutiny. What little public CD I do do, I keep it mild & androgynous. The NWO has changed enough western males to where man-boobs are everywhere now, so she’s not too concerned there. She doesn’t want to see me in a dress, wig, make-up & jewelry. And neither do I. I am grateful for her attitude about all of this. Thx

I like this conversation.   I think that too often you see the all or nothing train of thought on internet forums.   I'm perfectly happy being a male but with breasts.  I absolutely love my breasts and I think I look pretty good with them.  Although I would like them to have another 1-2 inches of projection and be a little more rounded out.  To that end I've thinking about a BA in the 300-400cc range.  As you said nothing cartoonish. 

On the other stuff, clothing,  makeup,  jewelry etc., it's hard not to be a little jealous about all the choices that women have.  I know that there are plenty of men out there that have no desire to stray outside of the narrow path that society has marked for us.  There are also many of us though that might like to wear a skirt/kilt, try some makeup or nail polish.  Just because we want to be a little different doesn't mean that we're closeted flamboyant gay men.  I don't know why I like what I like but it doesn't change who or what I am.
