Krisi is right
Last week on another CD community a user posted a pic of her wearing a really short, tight dress. She did not come close to passing in her pic. She said she was going to go out wearing it at a bar. I said, if you are going to an LGBT bar, that's fine, but if not, I would not wear that out. She said that she was just going to a regular college bar. I tried to talk her out of it, but no luck.
There are places I won't go dressed, and a regular bar is one of them. I have no interest putting myself out there infront of drunk meatheads/frat boy types.
In my early crossdressing stages(when I thought I passed) I went to a restaurant in the downtown area of the city I lived at in the time, Madison WI. College town. I was dressed up wearing a tank top, blue jeans, and heels. The restaurant was fine but when I left I had to walk by a bar to get to my car. A bunch of college age guys were standing outside on the sidewalk drinking their beer bottles and I could all tell they were trying not to laugh at me, and a couple of them were cracking huge grins. Then this butch lesbian looking lady stared at me like she wanted to kill me and started to lunge at me but withdrew. I kept walking and got in my car. I told myself to stay away from bars after that. I didn't even go inside of one and had a bad experience
People will say I am victim blaming here but I am just trying to say to be smart where you go dressed up. Some places are not worth the risk/reward to go to dressed. In this community we will be supportive of you, but unfortunately society doesn't play by the same rules.
