Could I ask when you went back were you dressed en femme? If not, it may be she can look you in the eye dressed as a man but not when looking at you in pictures en femme. Otherwise, hmmmm.

Your thread starter was very interesting and cautionary. Although I go out en femme at least once a week and have little fear in public, deep down I still care what people think. My wife is reasonably accepting but she seems to prefer that I dress when away from home. Or at least that may be my comfort zone when I am around people that I know.

It is a fine line between asserting our rights and confronting people. I've reached a stage where I have good friends (generally restaurant or hotel staff) who I relate to well dressed en femme. They are genuinely very pleased to see me, and are relaxed and chatty when I visit their establishments. However, I have decided not to go to these places when en homme to avoid challenging their thought processes.

The purist would be agast at this but it just is nice to have a circle of friends when en femme and I don't want to disturb the relationships. They know I am a man in a dress but they accept me that way.

I see this as a diferrent part of the same jigsaw.

Thanks for sharing Marlena.
