As a long time CD I wear skirts almost every day. I do own some dresses, but without my dear wife (she passed away) to do my makeup and fix my wig I don't wear a dress in public. However, I do wear skirts and feminine tops all the time out in public and have never had any problems. I am dressed that way as I write this and have already been out to eat both lunch and dinner! Unless you are dressed rather outrageously, no one really cares!!
