I may have given the impression that I feared going out enfemme. That thought does not phase me (at least not yet).
What does phase me is revealing to those close to me this other side.
I may have given out subtle hints in the past, but nothing that may have led people to say 'I knew all along that you were a CD'.
While I am totally happy with Joanne in my own company, I cannot get my head around being Joanne in front of my SO and family.
May be once I have taken the plunge it might not be that bad. But then this who I am.
As you all know, we cannot just erase that part of ourselves from our lives. It does not work that way.
On the subject of going out (which as I said was not the original question). I have a particular interest in outer garments (with quite a collection).
The urge to want to get out and about far exceeds the desire to stay within my own four walls.
