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,
