It's not the clothes, or the activity that makes you stand out. It's the fact that from any distance, the immediate reaction that anyone will have, is, what is a woman in a dress doing out all alone in the middle of the night? That's what's going to draw attention to you. AFTER that, when they look more closely, will be when they realize that they're not looking at a woman in a dress, and that's when potential trouble will more likely arise. As long as you can get back to your car before anyone in the area gets to YOU, you're probably quite safe. The cleaning crew MIGHT notice and give you an odd stare, the kids at the drive through may at worst point and giggle, But since you're in your car, you're probably going to be fine. Unless, of course, you're visiting Homophobiaville somewhere. Then all bets are off.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
