Hi, I have some questions for those of you that have become full time CD's, mostly because I'm curious to hear your stories and how the world around you responded.
1 - Do you work? If so, are you at the same job you were doing in drab?
If you're at the same job, what was the reaction at the workplace?
If you had to change jobs, did you find it more difficult finding work and interviewing as a female than you did as a male?
2 - What about IDs? Were you able to get your DL, etc. updated with a female picture?
3 - What would you say is the most noticeable difference in your everyday interactions?
4 - How did your friends/family react to your decision? I would assume that most of you had already told them about your dressing prior, correct?
I'm sure I'll have more questions as people answer and I really appreciate any feedback.
A little about me, I'm a private CD, been married for 22 years, my SO does know and has since the beginning, she is somewhat supportive (she's bought me things, helped me with makeup and we've played with me dressed) but my dressing feeds some insecurities she has so I mostly do it when she isn't around. There are times I'd like to be able to spend weeks dressed and then times that I'm glad I don't have to go through all the effort that GG's do to look presentable even when they're not dressed up. I'm self-employed with a couple of businesses, one I could dress at all the time if I wanted (and have occasionally) as it's mostly office work with no public interaction for me, the other is welding and fabrication with lots of public interaction so dressing at that one would not be practical.
Anyway, I'm interested to hear what you girls have to say.
