Close encounters of the CD kind

[Rochal Tukque]

Hi Girls, A question of how far. The wife and I drive 260 miles each way to the get togethers of a trans support group. Some girls there are driving from out of state. We drive a 100 miles to do a drab lunch with a few girl. So far do you go to encounter kindred sisters? That might not even be distance.

These days it is dress in the local area with high fences all around I have lost touch with any neighbours socially anyway.

Rochal,

When I take my away days and go dressed 24/7 for a week I'm usually about 150 miles from home. While it's not impossible that I'd run into someone I know it's not all that likely either. Plus I'd hope my femme look is sufficiently different so as to not be easily recognisable. One of the highlights of the week is meeting up with other CD'ers and just to be able to sit a chat for a few hours.

So far it's only been 40-50 miles. We have monthly support meetings and there's also a bi-annual TG weekend I usually go to. There's another town about 70 miles away that has meetings, but I haven't felt the need to go there.

If I ever go to one of those CD conventions, that would change.

I normally do 1.5 hours, so I guess 100 miles give or take. That is for a day shopping in drab.

I don't really know anyone in any of our cities so figure it doesn't actually matter which I pick.

[Teri Ray]

I will travel about 200 miles to go out as Teri or visit with other dressers.

Luckily I have one that is like a 15 minute drive. Some of the girls there will drive to the neighboring cities that are over an hour drive, but I don't feel compelled to drive that far with having such a local one (and vice versa the girls in those neighboring cities sometimes come out this way).

I used to belong to two groups that were 30 or 50 miles away. I stopped attending one (the further one) in that they took a decided turn that did not appeal to me. The other one I have stopped attending in that it is a little too close to where I work. There is also a gay resort 10 minutes away from me that does do CD weekends that I drop by whenever I get a chance.
I have also gotten to a point where I prefer to interact with the real world, so I tend to dress and worship much closer to home. However I have GG friends that I do hang with that either live near me and some that live about 50 miles away. The nice thing is that I do feel comfortable in my own skin that I will do he mundane things (grocery, clothes and general shopping) as Nikki and not have a problem with it.

I would love to have a get together with local (50 miles or less) girls if any of you don't mind a 75 year old 200 lb+ Matron. I just can't seem to find anyone.

A long, long time ago, far, far away, I used to drive about 50 miles to see a therapist, and she had parties for her TG clientele. So, 100 miles. I don't go out anywhere crossdressed anymore. My GID isn't that intense that I feel the need to.

[Meghan4now]

I met up with someone here in San Jose, about 2500 miles. Oh wait, I was on a business trip, and the opportunity was too good to pass up, so does that count?

Still one of the best girls night out ever. And with one of the sweetest members you could meet, forever my sister!!!

[Jane G]

Apart from here, I have never socialised with any other crossdressers.

[t-girlxsophie]

Furthest I travel is 206 miles to Manchester for the Sparkle TG Celebration along with my 2 friends only 6 and a bit months to go

Leslie if your ever in northern California I would be honoured to meet you. Hugs Rochal

I'd love to meet other girls but both transport and opportunities are issues. Which means that it's likely my first trip out as Abbie will be local and alone. Not ideal. Just as well I have no clue what 'shame' means. Screw it. 😄
