I don't disagree with anything Suranne posted including the fact we all will move at a different pace. I, and many others, are in a situation where our wives/SOs would create unbearable pressures on us if we just went out dressed wherever and whenever we wanted. Quite frankly, if I went to church next week en femme, I would expect to be looking for the best divorce attorney I can find on Monday. Most all of us have restrictions on what we can do. Some of those are self-imposed out of fear, nervousness, shyness, etc.; and, some are because of others in our lives whose acceptance and friendship we don't want to risk losing. My little part is to hopefully go out en femme when I'm nowhere near our home and unlikely to be seen by family or friends. I don't mind total strangers seeing me and knowing I'm simply a MIAD. If they do see me, know what I am, and see me being polite and respectful, I'll feel as though I've done my small part.
