A few months ago a post from The Hidden Me (THM) prompted me to reach out to him in a PM and we struck up an online friendship. THM lives in St Louis and me in the Chicago suburbs so meeting F2F isn't easy. Well, he came to Chicago for the weekend Cubs vs Cardinals series and I suggested we meet for a bite to eat. THM arrived yesterday afternoon and we met at a restaurant in drab near his hotel. It's the first time ever for me meeting another CD and it was so nice to talk to someone about our shared hobby, ok maybe it's a bit more than a hobby for both of us. We talked about that, our wives, our histories, my new discovery that I have gender dysphoria, and life in general. We went to his room (NO its not what you're thinking!) and THM showed me the outfits he brought along for his adventures last night and today. I had to head home to the family shortly after and THM was ready to get pretty for the evening. I'm sure there will be a post in the picture forum forthcoming. It was great to meet someone in person and speak openly about dressing and continue to develop our friendship. I would have loved to go out dressed with THM but it wasn't to be this time. This is the first friendship I've made with a fellow CD and hopefully will make more as time goes by!
