This is a quite interesting thread.
For those of us that are older, I think it's somewhat more acceptable now than it was years ago - and I use that term loosely, because bio males who crossdress or transition are still looked at as 'weird' in the society overall, especially by Baby Boomers.
The support for younger TG's, male or female, is more accepted and fluid, because that generation views being trans as a very real issue among younger adults. Social media has helped greatly with sending the message of the effects and struggles TG's encounter.
Personally, I always knew that I was different. I think we all do somewhat, and our stories share lots of similarities. Wearing female clothing was a way for me to connect and explore within myself - though I was horrified when wearing femme garments didn't bring embarrassment, but a sense of feeling natural. (I didn't have to learn to be female, walking , posture, etc., cause it came natural to me.)
NBE has helped so much with me. The love how my body looks now, and finally my mind feels like I do physically.
I have lots of peace within myself, though it took 40 something years to get here.
I've come to terms with two sides of my life - male and female, and both are just as important as the other. I hope others can experience that.
