One thing is for sure. Parents do not want crossdressers near their children! I was out my second time out, in Seattle in 2005, and a family in a car parked next to mine, had a dead battery. The father reluctantly had to ask me ,(all dressed up, in short dress, and dark hose, and high heels), for a battery jump. So, as i would always do, in guy mode, said yes i will. He then told his children, to not look. Every person on here, is a crossdresser, or TS ot TG. But, we each, are not that different than the vanilla public, in that we each have different family backgrounds, influences, possible religious influences, marriages, children, lifetime single issues, and mental and emotional states, and some have very good reasons for staying closeted, due to personal issues, family and work. Some were bullied much of their lives, and some, like me, are a bit paranoid, plus some nervous disorders. Not all of us are good at going out dressed for a number of reasons, while some take to going out, like a duck takes to water. Some of us, can have our lives ruined, if our secret goes out. Society can be cruel, indifferent, or tolerant.
