I think you have some good advice there Lori! Perhaps some times we over look the simple things! Hugs!

Great points, Lori! I quoted you in another thread (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?176098-Got-Laughed-At-going-thru-McDonalds-Driveup-tonight).

Hugs,

I would acknowledge that some young men are less considerate than others. My hope is that they'll behave better as they mature. But as you've mentioned, if you present yourself with dignity you're more likely to be treated accordingly. I've had quite a few gentlemen of various ages open doors for me in the past year.

I've never had anyone call me "Miss", or, "Mrs", with a straight face! However, I've come to appreciate those big smiles and the, "You're not fooling anyone, dude!", look. It beats the heck out of when they point, laff, or shout, "OMG look! That's a dude!"

And, THAT'S when I'm dressed to blend! Eeek!

Oh! How I LOVE MY HAPPY, FRIENDLY CLOSET!
