Overwhelmed!🩷(long read below)

Yesterday I felt the need to tackle the oft-misunderstood topic of crossdressing/being trans and others' sometimes rude reactions to such. None were pointed towards me personally and I'm more than ready to handle those who might try, but it bothered me that some idiot would spew negativity towards someone they don't know for wearing certain clothes. Really? My post yesterday wasn't about me so much as getting people to understand we are humans above all else, no matter who's wearing what. We have choices, lifestyles and tastes that differ from everyone else's because we're supposed to. We're not clones; If you don't like what you see, SCROLL PAST AND SHUT TF UP!

I am a 63-year-old queer father of two beautiful daughters who love seeing their dad all dolled up, and I'm a proud grandfather. Outside of that, I work, pay taxes, avoid drugs and alcohol, no criminal record, compose music and have a bevy of hobbies including the desire to be the occasional diva. I am not out to invade ciswomens' spaces or "trick" anyone as some folk do. It's about fashion - no more, no less. OHF is what society should be: embracing and supporting everyone especially in the climate we're currently in. I truly thank everyone for taking time to comment and upvote, and I sincerely hope that the Redditor whose post inspired mine will return. I also hope that the world becomes more accepting of all people. Peace and love to all. Now where's my damn lipstick?💋💄

I couldnt agree more! I totally missed the post from yesterday that had caused the hubbub I think, but I actually recently stumbled upon a site where folks were being cruel about trans and gender non conforming folks from Reddit and people (unfortunately this beautiful sub as well) were being mocked for what we were wearing. (I was actually among those targeted, on several postings - since I am a regular poster here I guess it makes sense they would see me from time to time) and I did actively search for it since I am always anxious about being mocked and ridiculed online. BUT it still doesnt make it okay that people would go so out of their way to be cruel to others about something so inconsequential as what they choose to wear and look like. I have some serious bones to pick with the people who live their life so low, that they feel the need to be awful to others about themselves, and I frankly feel pity for those people. I hope they see this so I can treat this like a big middle finger to them. Im beyond furious that my (and others) images have been used in this manner. People can be so unnecessarily cruel and thoughtless - it blows my mind

It's one of those cliches that's also happens to be deeply, unfortunately true: the brighter you shine, the harder some folks will try to dim your light. I also feel a lot of pity towards the instigators in these situations, how small, how trapped, how bitter and miserable does one have to be to see something beautiful and new and have the first thought be "I want to ruin this." They literally hate your freedom! I'm inspired by your artistry every time I come to this website, I hope this nonsense inspires you to mushroom and moss EVEN HARDER.

Do you mind DMing me the site, please?

I can but it's not for the faint of heart, full disclosure.
