Admiration for Another CD

<p class="MsoNormal">Spouse and I have been going to a nudist park for more than 12 years.  Of the many things that we love about the nudist lifestyle is that people are accepted based on their behavior.  We accept people for what they are  realizing that everyone has fat, flab, hair, moles, scars, warts …,   What is most important is that people respect other and act in a respectful manner.   About two years ago a transgender person started coming to our park.  She is an older lady, maybe 75 or so - ladies hairdo, earrings, makeup, nail polish, and female voice – male genitalia.  She unashamedly declares she is transgender.  Many members of our club accept her openly (I am very proud of them) others not so much.  I am humbled by her.  I have been a member of the club for 12+ years and other than my spouse no one knows that I too and transgender.  I wish I had her courage.  Truth be told she looks like a man in a dress.  Yet she has no shame about that.  I admire her sooooo much.  She has inspired me so that recently have admitted to two other members that I too am transgender and love to cross-dress.  I have started wearing earrings, necklace, anklet, nail polish, and other indicators that I am CD.  Some people have questioned me, others just roll their eyes like I am some old eccentric person trying to look different.  Someday I hope to openly identify as CD to my fellow club members.  I wish I had the courage of Catherine.  Thank you, sweety, if you ever read this.</p>
