My whole sexuality is a big ol' mess... I repressed everything around my gender and my kinks well into adulthood while trying to force myself into the role of a cisgender heterosexual male, and all I did was give myself depression and anxiety issues. I finally came to terms with my gender a few years ago and transitioned, but I still have a ton of self-esteem and self-worth issues to work through, particularly in regards to my kinks and fetishes which I still carry a ton of shame around. Over the last couple of weeks I've finally begun to accept that I'm a DL and figure out where I fit there (no interest in AB stuff at all but I do enjoy wearing as a kink and a comfort thing, and I'll probably end up wearing 24/7 soon now that I've settled on a brand I like) so my hope is that if I can finally find some acceptance there that everything else will start to come a little easier.
I guess after typing all that out I have to admit it seems a little (a lot, actually) surprising that I was able to find acceptance so easily with being a transgender woman, which is a big, public, visible thing that you almost have to involve everyone in your life with, versus being a diaper lover which is something I don't really need to involve anyone else with outside of potential partners. I guess it's because one is widely understood and socially acceptable (to an extent) whereas the other is still considered deviant by the mainstream.
