It's very easy to think everyone has the same needs as yourself with CDing, being in the closet to me was like solitary confinement , I knew I wouldn't achieve a balance until I could start to satisfy an inner need.
I accept now to some it's an enjoyable hobby that they may practice happily behind closed doors, that doesn't apply to me but I'm not knocking something another person gets a great deal of pleasure from.
OK some of you may say I'm not totally out, I may drive out of my drive dressed and travel the thirty miles to meet up with other members of the TG community in a hotel. Yes I have met the general public in those circumstances but this is not the same as going out dressed to shop and meet with others over a coffee or a meal, it's going to happen but I am taking it in stages, to keep the wife happy.
So to get to the question which I hope you will all take part in, It's a simple one of are you totally happy in the closet or are you happier being out and about.
I've always assumed it was the aim of every CDer to break out from the closet and be out in the open.
So what I'm looking for is the percentage of IN to OUT members . If you want to add that you prefer the other , that's fine give us your reasons.
Obviously TSs will have a different answer but it would be great to get some thoughts from them about being out.
