Last Friday, Welshgirl and I went to the West Country Girls monthly gathering in Exeter, UK. This time I was finally in full make-up, wig and clothing, phew. And there Welshgirl was in jeans and not exactly dressed to match. I wasn't having that so finally I got her into pantyhose and a short skirt, make-up and looking gooouud! So, out we went and met with the lovely girls. Well, WG was a honey pot surrounded by the bees, honestly, she got so many compliments on her legs, and she had a really nice time, a constant centre of attention. Me, well I reckon I had to keep an eye out, cos she is any CD'ers dreamgirl!
It was so affirming for WG though - all the positive attention and admiration - what GG would not want that?
So the moral of this story is ... get your SO down to a CD event all dressed up ... she'll so love the attention, the group energy, the feel, that it will really help her to break her boundaries and realise this is the community of "men" as "men" should be. [no offense intended with my gendered pronouns.] It's a great re-frame for her, and I reckon a great hope for us all coming out into the world.
PS my reward - i got to wear pink nails to the gym on monday morning, and I'm going to go dressed to the hospital today.
