UPFRONT: As you read this please do not turn it into a political thread or venture off topic and get it shut down. I am merely seeking input regarding my question and personal choices...
I am in a DADT relationship and keep my dressing very private at home. My wife has traditional views of the CD, transgender, LGBQT, community. She is pretty much, "What you do in your personal life is your business but don't throw it in my face" mindset.
I think this reflects much of our society today. With all the current events and activities in the various news cycles and political circles the awareness of our community has greatly increased and along with it the conversations both for and against.
I personally am comfortable going out when I have the opportunity and have almost always felt safe, going to preselected or familiar locations to shop or dine.
However, in the light of current times I am concerned that with the greater awareness and escalated rhetoric I am concerned that the potential for harassment or problems is there and as a result I have a reluctance to go out dressed.
I believe that if I were to be discovered at home or out and about the personal fallout would be greatly increased and harder to deal with.
Again, without getting off topic, am I alone or do others have a greater concern on a personal level about dressing, going out or just being discovered in general.
Thanks,
Molly
