I'm considering joining a local cross dressers support group. I have never been out in public, frankly I'm too much of a chicken to attempt. Being outed to family or friends or business associates is my principle concern.

To everyone who has attended such meetings.. What was your first time like? Did you go dressed or in drab? Did you go alone? Did you know or recognize anyone at the first meeting? Was it a worthwhile experience?

Any advice or support would be appreciated.
