I have become fairly comfortable dressing in public. I will attend shows, perform shows, even spend several days on vacation en femme. Last night was a new first for me. I went to a show which was about five blocks from my home and my wife and I walked there. In the past I would have parked my car in the lot close to my unit, and quickly snuck out to my car. There was a small chance of being seen, but I've only ever been "caught" by one neighbor to whom I explained things. He was totally fine with it.
Last night was totally different. We went out at 7:15pm, in the summer so sunset wasn't for another 90 minutes or so, and we walked through my neighborhood which is a fairly busy part of downtown. There are about 7 restaurants within 4 blocks of my house. On Friday I am helping with a show and I will probably be alone and do it again.
My point, I guess, is that with this new found confidence I am even more likely to be seen by my neighbors now and some of them have children, aged 4 to 8, who might see me too. I'm not sure if I should talk to them first or just let it happen naturally. They are all very open minded and don't have a concern about them knowing. I don't dress all the time, maybe four times a month.
