I've recently had a chance to dress on a number of occasions, and while it's always a little scary, I've really enjoy it. In fact, like most of you, the more I do it, the better I feel like the presentation gets, particularly in the make-up and confidence areas.
I posted some pictures from a couple of outings last week in the Photos section under "This is LA. All I want to do is have some fun" (https://www.crossdressers.com/forums...-have-some-fun!) - I hope it's ok to put the link. I received very nice compliments from you there. Thank you.
However, here's my dilemma. I decided to post a couple of those pictures (the red dress ones) on a non-cd, vanilla board to see the reaction I would get. In that, I did not indicate I was a cd, as I wanted to see how people would react.
Well, while I did get a couple of nice comments, I got some pretty horrible ones, too (e.g., "Stay away from me, tranny!" which was liked by an additional 5 people). I've got a thick skin, and so it doesn't bother me much.
BUT, my question to you is, while I may look ok amongst friends in a sympathetic atmosphere (like here), do I look ridiculous and probably should keep it in the closet? I realize that few of us will ever pass, but the last thing I want to be is a spectacle. Your thoughts and honest feedback are welcomed.
