I am a solid 1 aspirng to be at 2 and even periodically reaching it. Rejection sucks and being read for me seems to be the starting point for that.

I'm a three......... but do care what others think, and that is why I spend the time making sure the look is right for where I'm going, dressed appropriatly for my age group..... and treat others as I would expect to be treated.
For me it depends on where I am. If i'm in the car or walking to a club then I'm a 3-4. When I'm in a club enjoying my femme side then I'm a 4-5.
somewhere between 3 and 6 depending on the situation. I continue to keep exploring just the same. The more i do, the higher the comfort number.
For me it would be definetly a 2. I can't say I'm obsessed about being read with the exception of the possibility of being read by someone who could hurt me. On the other hand I wouldn't mind with being read by someone who would be really cool with my crossdressing.
I am a definite 4 moving to a 5. It's been so long now with so many positive experiences that I almost never think about it. That's true even when I'm paying for a purchase at the mall and the clerk is giving me the twice over....I just think... Deal With It Fella ... and I WILL BE BACK....
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I agree with karen a #6
When I'm with my squeeze.....4.90, by myself.......6.

3-Absolutely no question that everyone will recognize the mustache + dress combination as cross-dressing. It's scary, because I'm not sure how people will react, although sales staff and restaurant staff are good-humored. Also I want to avoid people who know me in drab, although I have encountered casual acquaintances a couple of times without repercussions.

I am at #1 for sure. I am almost panicking all the time. Sad but true.
#3, but then it's usually NYE. Would be a #2 otherwise.
I'm with Karren. Wonder how the feeling of not being read is...
When I dress at home and want to go out the door, #1. In fact that's want keeps me from going out the door. The couple of times I have made it out the door, or if I dressed somewhere else, #3.
Not only do I rarely think about it and care even less, I actually expect to be read. This makes life so much easier.
