Goodbye

I used to feel like I belonged in a community and had people I could relate to about fashion preferences that are usually not discussed openly in our closed-minded society. However, it seems the moderators of this community are closed-minded as well with their heavy-handed and tyrannical censorship. What if I want to consider myself a cross-dresser? What if I don't prefer to wear kilts? What if I want to wear high-heels and like my feminine gait? What if I want to have feminine tendencies and traits?
This community is so afraid of public image, how others will perceive us, that we not be regarded as out-of-the-mainstream wackos or perverts, or mentally ill wing nuts. I feel like I can't be myself or think what I want without running afoul of some ill-conceived and oppressive rule being subjectively applied by a parental moderator. I know there have to be some ground rules or anarchy and chaos will take over, but enough is enough.
I was so thrilled when I discovered Tom's Cafe. I felt like I belonged. I loved it even more on Kris' Atrium where I felt that I really belonged. I enjoyed attending the Million Skirted Men gathering in NYC in Feb. 2004. But times have changed- Tom passed away and Kris has moved on.
Goodbye folks- it's been real. Bob, please take me off the site. You won't miss me anyway. I'll lurk occasionally to see what's going on and I'll continue wearing what I want when I can.
