I'm not talking about around Halloween, or at LGBT clubs, or at CD meet-ups, or whatever. Of course we'll pop up a lot more around those times & locations.
I'm talking about the regular, everyday, "vanilla" times & locations...
At the grocery store on a normal Tuesday evening, at the mall on a Friday morning, over at your post office, at the airport, whatever.
To be honest, I really haven't. From what I recall, it was only one time, years ago, when I was a kid. One of those double-lane drive-up teller windows at the bank. My mom & I were in one lane. I look over at the other lane, and there's a guy (maybe in his 40's?) with long-ish natural hair, wearing some sort of bright floral women's top. I think there was something else about him/her, too, but I forget what. Make-up? Nails? Voice?
I couldn't tell you if they were partial CD'ing, a TS, or what. But it was definitely something along those lines. And that was literally the only instance I "saw one in the true wild." Ever.
Actually, scratch that. Just remembered: Make it twice.
I was at the mall, probably a teenager at the time. And I see a college-aged guy acting loud & obnoxious & goofy, strutting around & wearing something obviously-femmy... Want to say like a mini-skirt & neon bra or something. And a bit behind him were a group of guys around the same age who, from what I gathered, actually knew him, also acting loud & obnoxious in order to get people's attention. I got the impression that it was some sort of fraternity hazing thing going on, as there was a college really close by, and I seem to recall it was around early autumn.
Okay, twice. That's it.
Now, granted, I can be a bit of a workaholic, *and* a bit of a home-body introvert, which I suppose limits my exposure to this kind of stuff.
But still, should I be seeing more CD'ers out there? Because I really don't. And I've got a pretty keen eye, so I don't believe much, if anything, has gone undetected.
So, what's your experience been with this? Have you seen many of us out there in the *true* wild?
