Why am I so frightened to go out?
I have been a CD since a teenager and those who have seen me think I'm fairly convincing. I would absolutely love to go out dressed but the thought terrifies me. Why?
I've considered these possible answers:
Fear of being outed. That doesn't worry me.
Fear of seeing someone I know. It's unlikely they would recognise me in drag.
Fear of being molested. Why should anyone?
Fear of being overpowered. Possibly.
Fear of wanting to do it all the time. Also possible.
I have an opportunity to go out soon, once again, but I know I'll shy away from it.
I always like to dress in a very feminine manner (which suits me) - perhaps I should start by wearing trousers, but I wouldn't enjoy this at all.
I would love to hear from those who have overcome their fear, and from those who haven't.
