[QUOTE=Gretchen_To_Be;3857953 So, you go out dressed the way you see yourself in your mind's eye. You are not outed, you have pleasant interactions...you meet kind, sympathetic people or fellow CDs...doesn't that reinforce all the good feelings about CD? You do it more and more, get better and better at it...and then wonder what it would be like to just live that way?

Excellent point. My therapist points out that one of the factors in my gender equation is that I only do the fun stuff when I'm dressed. That's a big part of the escape aspect of it. When I'm dressed I don't do anything I don't want to do. It's left to the male side to do all the work and shoulder the responsibility, so I get an even further skewed view of being a woman.
