I want the CD's w/ partners to think about this, what IF?

[Lisa Maren]

Hi everyone

First, I wish to point out that I intend to tell any potential SO about me within the first few dates.

Second, I wish to say that I am not repulsed by the individual who endulges in infantilism. That's their lifestyle, it's all human, and I'm not shocked by that.

Third, I wish to say (and hope that you believe me) that I feel tremendous empathy for the GGs whose spouses don't tell them for years about the CDing. It's absolutely a horrible surprise and I truly feel for each and everyone of you. This is exactly why I intend to inform any potential SO about me within the first few dates (if I don't feel, for whatever reason, that I am comfortable trusting the person I'm dating with the knowledge of my CDing then that person isn't a suitable mate and I will have to stop dating that person). In fact, I have not been dating for quite a while because I am confused about my gender and I wish to be as reasonably sure as humanly possible exactly what is making me tick so that I will have all relevant information to share and can be fully honest.

Now let me respond more directly to this thread.

I fully understand the point of the post -- being empathetic. As I said at the beginning, I am very empathetic -- so much so that my empathy is one of the strongest reasons that I question my gender.

I am very glad that you brought your feelings to us, Kew. I am beyond... verbal expression, literally... as to how grateful I am that there are GGs who are willing to be with us the way we are (it's too bad you can't see my face right now because you'd know just how much).

Again, I totally empathize with GGs who receive the nasty surprise of finding out they've been deceived.

Hugs,
Lisa
