Thanks to all the replies

I am indeed lucky in that, but my outings so far have been to the people I believed to be most accepting too.
And for any future outings I will consider giving a heads up first.

I thought the US was quite tolerant but I guess the western europe and/or scandinavia may be a bit easier for cd'ers.

Well I don't know if I would be able to do what I do now if I was born in the same time either, for one no internet would definitely make cd'ing (learning, support and purchasing) more difficult.
And though I never lived it I believe it was a much harsher time for trans* people to be accepted as well.
