The next logical thing to do is to ask yourself what is the next thing that you want to do. Then do that.
I think we spend far too much of our lives worrying about the way that society is going to react to us and not anywhere enough time listening to the voices within us telling us what simple, harmless things we can do that will make our lives easier, better, happier, more whimsical, more fun, more alive, or more whatever. Honestly: if no one is being harmed by it, why on earth is it anyone's business than yours?
Oh, I am not being intentionally naive. I know that we live in a society and have to abide by its set of standards, blah blah blah. BUT...when it comes right down to it, those standards have lots and lots of wiggle room. I mean, hey, I am a teacher who transitioned in a conservative school district. No one gave that a chance, but I thought: what the heck? And now years later I find myself incontinent and wearing diapers 24/7. And I find that doing so has reawakened a "little" within me. OK. Who is it harming?
We are all, as Marka said, the ones in charge of our own hopes and dreams. But if anything is going to hold you back, let it be what you want, not what you think society wants. What you want is all that means diddly squat.
