I go out a lot . its definitely not a game for me.
i have gone out for nearly 20 years but its only in the past 4 or 5 years that it actually started to be more comfortable and confident for me to do this.
I really like good interaction with people. it makes me happy to be able to talk to people in person face to face . I hid my crossdressing for far too many years and it was a terrible awful lonely feeling.
this does not mean that I desire the humiliation of being outed by a stranger , but if someone greets me and introduces themselves as someone "who is like me" i will be happy to say hello and talk a bit .
