The "tiers" r not for everyone, Tara. Some of us need to come out because women is who they feel they r. And, after a TS completes her transition to living as a female every day, discussing CD issues is like a motorcycle racer discussing how to ride a tricycle. After a while, many just r too busy living the dream to even visit here!
As far as going out dressed? There's a number of us here that do it often, but don't enjoy it all that much. But, many just don't say that because it's negative. So, they just don't comment, period. In fact there r very many closet dressers that visit here often and never comment. It's not everyone's CD dream to go to Macys or Dennys in bland, blending clothing. Some r quite content to dress in private. As am I!
There r also quite a few dressers who love going out dressed in glamorous, sexy outfits with their T girlfriends. To T events, clubs, bars, etc. Many of them don't bother visiting here often. Because for them dressing is all about fun, partying, and their T friends! The struggles of so many here is a not of interest to them. I meet lots of these party girls at the Vegas T events. It's an entirely different level from the, "---went out shopping at Walmart and Payless, then stopped for a sandwich on the way home", crowd!
But, don't think of it as tiers. It's more like different interests. Like: Some folks prefer to stay home building model train layouts. Some like to go out golfing with their buds. Others like hanging out and drinking at the corner bar. While others like to dress up for concerts and fancy dinners out.
We r all different. And, once we have dressed enuff? We may want to incorporate dressing into our other interests. I certainly have! Sherry's fantasy life is richer than anything Robert ever imagined in the 50 years before I began dressing!:D
Here's a few of us cd.com girls at a costume event at Mary's in Long Beach!
