There are a lot of CDs--we are not alone. But many of us are pretty isolated. How many CDs do you know face-to-face, who also know & recognize you as a CD?
A) none
B) strangers at Halloween parties, or similar rare events
C) one or more regulars at non-CD bars/restaurants/coffee shops
D) a friend who later turned out to share this interest
E) some, at CD-oriented socials; e.g., weekly or monthly "girls night out"
F) a community, like Tri-Ess or an LGBT activist center
G) other?

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever!
So far I had met 4 other cd's that are in my general area and at least a half dozen more that I had been friends with online. One I even knew who he was, just never met. Yes there are alot more of us out there than we realize.

I have to answer C, D, E, & F. I have never actually counted the number of cds in know in person.
Marcia (LOVES) Blue
Somewhere in the range of 70 or so. All E and F. I have met in person and actually had a conversation with face to face, while I was presenting as a woman.
Seems that Florida is rich with us.

All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?
A couple of hundred or more last count.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
I know one. He/she is a cd friend I have known for a few years now. We get together once or twice a month for a dressing date.
Well, I like to think----everyone here. But in reality maybe 4 who are good friends I've actually met in person. I did meet many when I went to a local support group some years ago. I know of one in town but we've never connected. One close friend I spent a lot of time with went on to a full transition and we talk often. Nice to know I'm not the stranger on this planet!

Being one of the founding members of IXE, I have met way tons of us (CD, TV, TS, TG). A number of us go to church each week then brunch afterwards.
You want to wear a WHAT??
Just the one in the mirror.
I've met a couple at cd oriented get togetherness, but the one non cd guy friend I have said that he 'could certainly understand it," and it might be 'kind of fun.' So, we all might know more cd's than we think we do.
E&F I'm very fortunate to have 30 or 40 gorgeous CD girlfriends. 10 to 15 of us get together every Friday night for Girls Night Out in Everett WA. I'm also a member of Emerald City in Seattle where I regularly hang out with another 15 to 20 ladies. Of these ladies, I'm really close to 7 of them.

since I have been to over a dozen large events over the past 13 years, I have to say well into the hundreds.

I would have to say A, none. Although a few times I've been bra-shopping and have encountered other gentlemen who were doing the same thing. But I'm sure it was for their wives.
none face to face
the only limit that u set, is the one u set yourself.
I am the only one I know of in my area.
Marilyn Monroe: I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.
That would be an "A" for me.
C) for me, I've met 3 in person one of whom I meet regularly

I have known varying amounts of CDers at various levels over the years. My ex-neighbour is a CDer and we used to go out in the company of CDers. I have been on a tranny weekend in Blackpool with my wife. There is a tranny club on Sheppey went there once but it spooked me out with beds for experimentation. I more want to have GG friends who just know me as Maria, as one of the girls. The CDers that I have been in the company of excluding my ex-neighbour all they can talk about is CDing. I just want to be in the company of ordinary women talking ordinary women conversations.
Maria
The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies
That would be A. For me.
Because of what I do I've had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of other CDs, it's awesome when you find other people who are just like you
I have to say A, none. However, I am getting closer to taking an opportunity to attend SCC or maybe a local support group. It will happen, I promise.
