gymbunnycandiehart:gymbunnycandiehart: I Can’t Hide it, Deny it, or Fake through it. My son called me out! As many of you are aware, I’m a family man in addition to being a mostly closeted, girly, crossdressing, connoisseur. As much as I keep Candie almost entirely to myself and occasionally with my wife, some things just happen to show through the guise. I can’t hide it all. Groomed body hair, floral smelling lotions, and women’s shoes don’t go unnoticed by those with whom you share a home. But it’s the nuances that tend to expose my inner happiness in femininity. And sometimes, they show up when I least expect them. Over the weekend, we had an opportunity, like any traditional American family should, to sit around the television and watch a movie while eating pizza and ice cream. I had dressed down to shorts and shirt and was sitting on the sofa. The men’s shorts I had on have shrunk in length and have become fairly short, offering a clearer view of my thighs which I keep shaven. Maybe that’s why I like them so much. I had crossed my legs over the knee and was bending forward with both hands demurely resting on the top knee. I don’t guess I can describe it. Needless to say, it was evidently feminine because my 17-year old son commented “Dad, you look like a girl sitting like that.” He called me out. Was that a compliment? Probably not. We laughed and rather than rebuttal, I made some girly gesture to jokingly ward off the comment. It’s things like that which I cannot hide or force to stay in a box. When I’m at ease, I can very easily appear girlish. It’s who I am. And since femininity brings me such happiness, womanly gestures, gait, posture, inflections of voice, etc. tend to pop out when I don’t expect. I can’t deny the whole of me all the time. I wasn’t embarrassed by what my son said. It’s moments like that when I can subtly guide a healthy process of thinking to prevent unnecessary social stereotyping. My son is a good kid and I anticipate him living a full life, having compassion on all people. What about you? Have you ever been “called out” because of some mannerism, maybe some clothing option, or perhaps your choice of words or how you say them? Did it embarrass you or make you proud? Regardless, if being feminine brings happiness to you, it’s going to show up, and probably when you are most at ease. You can’t hide it any more than you can suppress a smile. And don’t be embarrassed when your inner beauty finds an opportunity to express herself. I hope you girlies have a happy day, CandieHart From the Archives -- source link
