/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Will you guys accept somewhat tangential confessions from someone not a regular on this board?

I'm a guy, and a fairly good looking one too. People have literally told me they admire me and my style, and even though they say things like that with the best of intentions, it really hurts my feelings. I hate it. I don't want to look like a guy at all. I'd much rather be able to wear cute female clothes and not be called out on it.
The worst part is that I am self-aware enough to realize that it can never be... and it hurts me deeply.
