How hard can it be to meet like minded individuals that live in the same city as you but because of various factors they have no inclination of meeting.  I am refering to crossdersser and trans individuals.  They say they want to meet others but when the offer is made there is silence.  Me, I would jump at the chance to meet and hang out with other trans/CD's because they more than any understand what it is like to have to hide or be something they are not.  

My wife, a cis-gender heterosexual woman, is very understanding and supportive but sometimes she does not understand fully the issues we face whether it be personal, at home or out in the world.  She supports and encourages me to grow everyday, she buys things for me although she doesn't have to but it would be nice to just have someone to talk to or just go out as girls.  Am I asking to much?  Maybe I am but I am also comfortable in my own skin now especially more so when I go out en femme and people take me for a real woman.  Side Note - We paln on joining a church and spoke with our pastor and someone I consider a friend, I asked her about lying, I'm not lying to anyone but myself.  It was easy once I thought about so being in public as a trans woman and taken for one is happiness because I am not lying to anyone when a part of me comes out.  We all have many parts as I have mentioned in a prior blog, so this is just one aspect or one half of me, half-male/half-female.  

I am only passible because one of my sisters and I look a lot alike, so much so one person thought that we were twins given that she is 6 years older and blonde hair where as I am ginger (naturally).  However, when I put on a blonde wig...Lets just say that I am not blonde very often.  Even the discussion came about a Pride event in our (my wife and I) hometown, something that began in 2019 and the very fact that my family still doesn't know about my dressing and me showing to a pride event getting mistaken for my sister - 4th of July fireworks would be nothing compared to my family finding out. And yet, in my current city of residence I venture regularly as my femme self, either going shopping, to work, to a public restaurant like Applebee's or to a bar whether it trans friendly or not.  

If someone like me who is an extreme introvert with huge issues of confidence and shyness can go out into the big scary world as a beautiful, confident, extroverted woman then anyone can do it, so what is holding you back?
