Does my original post suggest that I feel like there is anything wrong? There is absolutely nothing wrong and neither of us believe that we are being especially deviant. All I was hoping to find were some people who could say "hey, yeah, I've heard of this before." instead of confused looks. As for your response, MasterFireMaam, I appreciate your great advice. We have spoken before in the past, you may recall (or not?) and in fact, I have already been deeply involved in the local leather community which is primarily a gay male one. I recently attended my first leather weekend event here in Florida and the next thing I'm doing is MAL in january. I will be unable to make it to Southwest, as far as I can tell, but I'm desparately hoping to attend Southplains in feb. There's just way too many to go to! I am a member of a group up for a pantheon award in Chicago too, so that's one I really should get to...all I can say is I need to get one of those airline credit cards for the free flights. The leather community is going to be my best resource for information here but the problem is that my local one is really all gay male. I have yet to meet a leatherwoman of any variety, though they have to be around...I'd think. The men have been great role models for me and perhaps it's my immersion in the culture that makes it so easy for me to see myself as a Daddy, BUT my mentors have told me that I should seek out leatherwomen and leathergirls to talk to on this matter because their experience (they feel) is limited to what they know firsthand. As much as I can apply everything I know from them and about them to my own situation I really would like to find someone in the same boat as me with whom to relate. As for the issue of gender identity, I'm only confused in that I don't think I'm confused...does that make any sense? I know I'm female and a woman and I would not change that even if I could. I have no desire. Yet the daddy is certainly a side of me that exists. I find that ok, it doesn't bother me and I don't feel like I have a gender identity "issue" But now I'm wondering if I should be more confused than I am, lol. Thanks for listening.
