... and you're crossdressed... what's your reaction? Do you open the door and see who it is? Do you quietly hope they'll go away? Just what do you do?
I'm curious 'cause it happens a lot to me. I'm not "out" publicly, and the consequences could be disastrous were I to open the door to an unknowing co-worker. My employment is in a decidedly "macho" occupation, and I daren't risk the possibility of discovery.
So I'm off work today, and there's a knock on my door. Kind of a "special" knock; "shave and a haircut, two bits". Sure enough, my next door neighbor. He calls my name, and I ask, "Ray"? Yep, it's him. So I unlock the door, and he hands me the package UPS had attempted to deliver yesterday evening. At that time, I didn't answer the door, 'cause I didn't know who it was.
So, I was crossdressed then, as I am today. He's seen me before like this, and isn't phased at all. We exchanged pleasantries, and I thanked him for delivering the parcel. So it was just a neighbor doing his neighbor a favor.
Do you have a method by which to screen your visitors before answering the door? Do you zealously guard your privacy, or do you have an "open door" policy?
Particularly of interest to those of us commonly referred to as "closeted", yet all responses are encouraged...
