Hi girls, I have no idea of what to think or what to expect, but I have registered for a convention and booked a hotel...in Dallas Texas this june! TEXAS! The reddest RED HOT state in America! There's bounty hunters trying to find crossdressers and trans people! It looks like I will be sharing the room with my spouse. We have been living separately since I transitioned almost three years ago but are still legally married. Lots of questions swirling through my brain about how to handle all of this...
HELP! I need your thoughts and input on all of this please, thank you. 🙂
Big hugs,
Ms. Lauren M
relax. everything will be alright. your just another girl out enjoying the real world. have fun. and some memories. you deserve it.
Please take a chill pill! I live in Houston and we have a large, open and thriving LGBTQ+ community here and so does Dallas and the rest of the state. I don't know where you got your information unless from fear mongers. Sadly an awful lot of things were said last year in an attempt to scare people that just plain weren't true that have left a lot of people needlessly upset, but we can debate that elsewhere. And by hot diggity damn, we even have them electric lights that work without a fire inside 'em and those new fangled horseless carriages in some parts too... LOL. We are not knuckle dragging Neanderthals, and there are not "bounty hunters trying to find crossdressers and trans people". Last year I was dating a lovely trans woman and I dress as femme as John Wayne can get and there was no place we had any hesitancy to go because of our appearance or our sexuality. Texas is known as the friendly state, and its reputation is due to its welcoming locals, "Howdy!" greetings, and open arms. The state's motto is "Friendship". Below is a smattering of links about Dallas that I found in a 5 minute web search. And with my apologies to Jed Clampett, I will leave you with "Ya’ll are invited to this locality, To have a heapin helpin of our hospitality, Texas Hospitality that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off. Y'all come on down now, y'hear?."
Feel free to DM me if you have questions or need a Xanax. Kisses

Relax Lauren, you will be fine,
I've just been to New York in December and i was expecting guns at dawn with how they painted it, I had a really great time visiting all the sights and so did my 3 grown up children ,
One of the most solemn things we did was visit the 9,11 museum to pay our respects there were lots of people walking about all speaking in hushed voices and when we went into the room full of pictures of the people who died well my eyes were nearly in tears,
Places are not what you expect when you're there in person, people are not what you expect after you get to know them,
Love Roz ❤️
Ive been all over Texas. I've never had any problem with anyone. Conservatives tend to not be warm in the beginning. Perhaps its shyness or they just don't know what they can say to you. They will leave you be, if they think that's what you want.
Since i most always travel alone, i often eat at the bar in restaurants that's if its not a full house. If so, then I'll get a table. I have never had anyone who wasn't willing to talk it up at the bar. I might add that i usually seek out 4 or 5 star restaurants but sometimes you don't have a choice. I have also stopped in at pool halls in a dress to shoot a few racks afterwards. If I'm still not ready to call it in for the night. I have no fear of Texas.
I you are a fan of John Wayne his family has a museum just outside of Dallas.
Hi Lauren. I live here in the DFW area and go out and about in girl mode with no problems.
It will be hot here in June but you will have a nice time.
Feel free to DM if you have any questions.

I love Texas. I was crossdressing there in the ‘70’s while a member of the USAF for crying out loud. I’m sure it’s WAY easier now. Conservatives crossdress too Lauren. I can’t wait to read the article you write about how great it was🥰
Hey Lauren, Do not worry. You will do just fine. Have a good time and enjoy the experience. Just be yourself and Texas will love you. Do be ready for heat and sun if you go outside of the air-conditioned areas. Hugs, Marg
Perhaps you should think along the lines of Gone with the wind, and Rep Butlers statement,' Frankly my dear I don't give a damn' and go for it with your head held high.
Hi girls,
A big hug and kisses to all of you, you girls have certainly put my mind at ease and you have my gracious thank you coming your way!
I guess I was paying a bit too much attention to all the negative stuff regarding trans people that the Orange Man and his morons have been spewing!
I am now looking forward to our trip, now all I have to do is book a flight that won't break my budget, LOL
Hugs,
Ms. Lauren M
