This thread took some pretty interesting twists and turns. For some, just another person who would accept them for who they are, is enough. Others want gender specific, and want to be recognised for whom they choose to be.
As for myself, since I didn't answer my own question, would be someone who dresses, and I'd feel comfortable escorting to where ever we choose, with me being in drab mode. And that we'd switch positions, so that I could dress and be escorted in the same manner.
What made me think of this thread, was an article I found online about a past event, a crossdressers prom. I had an idea, about me going, renting a tux, and just being there to dance with as many of the girls that would want to. Just make myself available to them. I had no ulterior motives other than just a dance partner.
What I'd get out of it would be just a different life experience.
