Is This Forum Dangerous to Crossdressers?
I sometimes worry that this forum encourages members to go beyond their comfort zone. To "come out of the closet," to tell spouses and others, and to be "out and about" are some examples.
All of these may be good things that can enhance the individual's quality of life, but they are steps that should be taken slowly and considered carefully. Each step has its hazards as well as its rewards.
Marriages have gotten better or worse as each of these steps have occurred in individual lives.
I worry about members who go out alone at night and prowl dark shopping malls and dangerous areas.
And there are many, many more considerations as well.
Along with others I enjoy celebrating each woman's accomplishments when they are posted. Such celebrations form the web of our online community.
But crossdressing is not competitive and each woman should consider her own circumstances and desires individually.
Hugs,
Persephone.
Not the forum, but some of it´s members!
Let me say first of all that this forum is a great place to visit, partly because of the wide range of views, experiences and opinions on any conceivable facet of crossdressing. That is it´s biggest strength, and conversely, when it comes to giving advice, it´s greatest weakness.
There IS no one size fits all, and yet we sometimes try to make it seem as if there is.
Assumptions about personal circumstances, "You should", "You must" - I call this musterbation, all done with the best of intentions.
In the end, if you have a dilemma, the only one who can solve it is you, so take time, sort through the advice and look at the pros and cons of each possible course of action, preferably by writing them down so that you don´t miss something important. It is the wide experience of forum members that makes this possible.
Weigh the possibilities, choose, then go for it.
