I wonder how many people who are "in the closet" paint their toenails - or express their feminity in hidden ways.

Hi Doanna! I use to! I must confess. Then I started to get lazy or maybe I just stopped caring, I would leave my toes painted because it was less work for me. I was always removing my fingernail polish to the point my cuticles were dried out and chapped. Poor me. It's interesting point though because for me,leaving it on for the world to see was a real step in showing the world/people around me I liked to express a femininity... like just tonight I was at the grocery store with my fabulous silver nails sparking so brightly in the flourescent lights me smiling the whole time. Very liberating feeling!

I think it is very common experience for girls in the closet. Being ok for the world to see can be a huge step in coming out if they so chose. hugz
