Girls, I did a drag show recently, never had before and now I feel like it’s opened my eyes up. Is it honestly ok if I want to start being feminine?

Girls, I did a drag show recently, never had before and now I feel like it’s opened my eyes up. Is it honestly ok if I want to start being feminine?

So I’m a nurse and did a drag show for charity. I was convinced by fellow nurses to do it and it ended up being way too much fun. I just, yea I feel like I really want to explore my feminine side but am obviously scared and/or nervous to because of how people will react. I was born intersex and already have very strong feminine features and worry that it could lead to bullying all over again like I went through in middle and high school. Anyway yea I’m just scared I guess and I don't know.

  • It depends entirely on where you live and your community and supports.

    Be safe if you plan to explore or express in public. We are unfortunately not safe as a queer community, currently, in many American areas. Even outside America there have been recent regressions in LGBTQ and women's rights.

    However it is BEAUTIFUL that you want to explore your feminine qualities!

    Please do explore and be free and brave in your journey. You are valid and beautiful, and being who you are will bring joy into this world.

    • Ok I feel like I’m about to cry over what you said. Happy cry over your last paragraph and sad cry over your second one. That’s one of my main fears is how the US is right now towards the community and I just, I hate the fact that that is what is stopping me

    • It's valid to feel this way. I'm going to Pride events up in Canada this month, but I go expecting a Texas welcome. If I don't get shot, bonus. If I do, all I can hope for is to encourage a riot at my wake with my dying breath. Remember that if your home is yours, and safe, you can be absolutely yourself there and only let in people who will love and accept you as you are. And outside, it doesn't matter how you present - you are still you. You may need to pass one way or the other to stay safe, but that doesn't mean you're not queer and proud. Just queer and safe. Trans and Non-Binary folks like aren't new, and we won't be the last. You are valid. If you can, find or make yourself a pride flag and get yourself some pretty clothes, it's still Pride. I'm sorry the USA sucks and not in the good way. But remember: you are not your country. It is possible to build a pocket of safety and find a community that will support you. Be you, be proud. 💜🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♥️

    • Yep full on crying now lol. But it’s a happy one, thank you thank you thank you!!! Detroit has a pride festival coming up and I so want to go to it! I’d like to get clothes and such too. I did get a bunch of nail polish but am too scared to wear it because it’s not like I can wear gloves 24/7. I do live alone tho so I do want the start at least expressing myself there but no clue where to begin

  • Go for it ! Do you and be expressive! Screw the haters !

    • I’m just kind of terrified you know? I mean yea, I’m gay I’m intersex but I’ve always presented as male since I was born and just I don't know what if people freak out? Like I bought a bunch of nail polish the other day and I’m scared to use it because it’s not like I can wear gloves 24/7 to hide them

    • Accept yourself and be yourself! Society will have something to say be confident in yourself!

    • How though?
