Hi. I was prolificallly posting here for a good few months last year, so not long term. I realised that I'm trans and I spent most of my online time...
I haven't had the experience of being out and about in a dress or skirt and so I can't comment on vulnerability in the sense of women feeling uneasy...
The crossdressing community is one that needs to stick together and continue to be there for each other for whatever one needs. We are always trying to improve the forum to better serve the crossdresser in all of us.
