My recent adventures are documented on another thread, but i feel its important to separately bring out learning and conclusion from the experience of going out fully clothed in ladies clothing but crucially not made up and with no wig.
Yesterday I was with a female client all day, first time they've seen or known about my CD. They loved it, they felt my feminine was coming fully through. I'd done my nails but my face/head was not disguised. We finished the day by going to a local pub. I walk in, a man coming the other way does a double then a triple take and finally coughs out "nice one". There are some smiles around, but all is well, beyond well in fact. I have women I've never met before coming up to me, giving me a hug, I have men relating to me in non-aggressive ways, the barmaid comes out to give me a hug. I mean life is/was just so friendly.
Why? If I were fully dressing (trying to pass), then I'm out to deceive the world as to my sexual nature (cf scenes in "how to lose friends and alienate people"), I'm challenging men's suppressed homosexuality, I'm challenging women's place. By being a "man dressed as he damn well pleases" I'm being in my own power but no threat to anyone, in fact I'm empowering others to be themselves. It's as simple as a women wearing men's clothes. She's not wearing a false moustache and false-beard to deceive. So it does not threaten society in the same way full-on CD-ing does. In the privacy of home, or going to CD groups, yes, go the whole way, but I reckon we can out ourselves with this halfway house safely and securely because we are being ourselves.
Okay folks, comments appreciated!
