I have no female persona, and to my knowledge I've never been seen by another CD while wearing anything feminine, so it really doesn't apply to me.
That being said, I do spend too much time planning my outfits and looking in the mirror, my goal is to look good and not like a guy with no fashion sense, even though I largely am. If I ever were to be seen by any of you, my hope is that even though you'll know in a second that I'm a guy, you'll like my outfit. (or at least appreciate that I tried!)
Yeah, I do not have a separate female persona. It is hard enough having one! I appreciate when anyone compliments me, either on my appearance or my behavior. However, I strive not to live for the approval of others.
The only person whose thoughts I really care about is my wife. I would love to meet another CDer to see how they do what they do. There's no way I would be critical of a sister as I know on a scale of 1 - 10, I'm somewhere between 1 and 1.5 in my presentation. My interest in meeting other CDers is to learn from them - both dressing and makeup tips as well as family dynamics and how they deal with those.
I always respect the opinions of sisters.Especially if it results in an improvement in presentation.
I would love to meet another CD if I felt safe enough. Seems like a great moment to teach each other things and share this experience as girls
I want to be passable so I appreciate little tells that other CDs may point out about my appearance. As far as persona, we all have individual tastes; short skirts or longer dresses? Jeans or leggings? makeup or mask etc.
I don't wanna be affected by peer pressure but it's nice to be accepted.
What is their problem?

The problem is; people r judgemental, Sabine. And, that includes trans! The most detrimental comment I've ever heard dressed, came from another dresser!:doh:
And, she was a very obvious MIAD!:straightface:
