“…And that’s more important than what others think of me.”
A small experimental comic/vent piece on a struggle I went through during highschool. Being open about crossdressing, being Bisexual, Genderfluid, was a hard thing for me to come to terms with. Mostly on the idea that I’d lose my friends, or be looked down on by family if they knew. It wasn’t easy coming out, but right now, they all accept me for me. And more importantly, I feel safe, and comfortable as I am.~
Daniel is a character I reflect most of this part of me on, and he’s one of my favorite, precious OCs for that reason alone.

Nope, you’re not alone.
I helps, but not a whole lot Q_Q
Well…at least im not alone…
Welcome to the club pal =(
Even do i really love the idea of crossdressing and even talked to some people about it and they support me; i’ve never in my life worn nothing female, but always wanted to…
But at the same time, the moment i think of it… i get more and more scared…
Wouldn’t bet mony on it happening any time soon!
Hopefully, you can find something lovely to wear.
That sounds so lovely. But I’d have to get someting to get into first xD
Once I get out of where I am at some point, I will have a bit more freedom to wear what I want. Im hoping thats going to be soon as I want to start building a wardrobe (and losing weight). When I was going to move I packed what I had in a box and its now at a friends place 100+ miles away. I miss being able to toss what I had on for a little while.
@Setsugekka
The Tea Party was the only time my OC was dressed up. Of course there will be more at some point, but for now this was a good start. Hopefully there will be more of yours in the future.
I would love to come over to your place and let you dress up in safety.
Honestly, I did have that fear myself, but I don’t think many people care if you dress up. Just close your blinds and cover your windows and glass doors if you can and enjoy yourself.
I wouldn’t even dare to dress up like this inside my own flat! I’d be way too nervous, since that voice tells me that someone will still see me. So I have to stick to imagining and never fulfilling!
@Nittany Discord
Perhaps one day society will be open enough for this to come to pass. But it won’t happen in my lifetime!
That why I was honored to be a part of or tea party. Seeing my OC all dressed up was the clostest thing I’ve ever came to experience something like this.
@Bluetec
You should be allowed to wear what you want. There are so many outfits I see here that I just want to try on.
From my personal experience, you’ll be much happier listening to the part of you that wants to wear that outfit. The only reason you, or we, have that other voice is because of social expectations. At least there are places where you can be yourself, so hope for the day when you see a beautiful outfit and you buy it and wear it!
I see many an outfit on here that makes me say the same thing. Do I feel guilty about liking something? Id be lying if I said I didnt, but I know in a different situation, Id have all sorts of things to wear. That louder part that kinda snaps you back to reality can be a pain, but its one of those things you figure out some way to strike a balance to placate it. Its why I keep my dressing up at home where I can do whatever. It pacifies it a bit.
@Nittany Discord
Thats what really kinda stops me from really telling anyone else, moreso for the rejection bit. Its also why I just keep it to myself at home. For me, its enough for the time being.
It’s like you’re speaking from my very soul.
Whenever I see a gorgeous outfit posted here, one part of my brain goes: “God I wish I could wear something like this!”. While another, louder part says: “Well too bad. It’s not what you’re supposed to want. Now get back to being a man again!”
@Bluetec
I’ll be honest, I still struggle with whether I should be myself or be “normal” because I want to fit into society enough to function (e.g. have a career), but I don’t want to be forced to be something I’m not because I’d rather not live at all. I’ve tried to be like my more conservative family, and it just caused me constant anxiety and depression while I secretly wished I could wear the clothes I wanted to wear and do the things I wanted to do.
The scariest thing about being yourself is when not only people reject you, but they deny you the means to support yourself and function because you don’t “fit in,” which is what happens to many LGBT people.
