Fionne, if you are still reading, please know that some of us remember people like you, back in the 70's and 80's who wanted to present themselves how they wanted to. Back in a time when there was no question that you could be a man and look beautiful.
Indeed, that really was progress I think. How on earth did we go from people like Bowie and such, to people claiming being feminine or wearing a dress actually makes you a woman?! I don't get where we went so wrong.
Also its always been a thing of mine, that I love blokes in eyeliner. Not full face makeup, just eyeliner. I think it looks so striking, and suits men better than women most of the time
