I've attended CD bars, clubs, banquets, First Event in Boston and PTown events over the last 35 years. I have also shopped and dined en femme. In all that time I only wore ladies jeans once. After all, what's the fun in that? There is definitely a feeling of security when you go to a place where it does not matter if you are read or not. However, it's great when you go in straight public and can roam en femme without being read. That's not important to eveyone but I really enjoy it. Plus, that's where all the good shopping is.
