katie_barns Posted a thread about an bad experience she had recently. Not to hijack her thread, I have made this one to ask what I would have over there.
You can read her thread here: http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...willl-robinson
Are we really that feminine as CD's that we will always walk away, or run, from a confrontation from bigoted or holier than thou people?
Now, I believe that Katie did the right thing and walked away. I will always believe ,whether enfemme or not, that avoiding a confrontation is ALWAYS the best coarse of action but if everyone walks away doesn't this send the signal that they can continue this behavior at will? Continue to teach their kids wrong so they can keep the vicious cycle going?
As a closeted dresser, I personally don't have to worry about this sort of behavior at this point in time, but at some point I do want to go out and I may come across this very situation when I finally do.
How would I have handled this? I have always considered this part of my life as part of who I am as a whole person. I love dressing as a woman on a part time basis. I also love my male side and My male side wouldn't tolerate this behavior. Would my male side quickly become dominate?
I am not saying that I would start throwing fists but I surely would have had just as harsh of words as they had for Katie. If the man would have followed me out of the store I surely would have stopped and said "I wouldn't follow me much further, you'll limp back"
Would that have been wrong or would it have shown that as a CD We are not any lesser of a man?
Questions, questions, questions.....
