I'm Joyce but like to be called Joy and will answer to Jo. I've been crossdressing a long time and tried to quit, but I can't. I want to be female. My wife knows I like to crossdress and thinks I have quit it. I feel bad about the lie.
Recently I had a week to be me and I decided to confront my "being in public" fears and went to place after place when they were busy. I went shopping multiple days at several stores during the afternoon when they were full of other women shopping. I went through rack after rack of clothing. I mingled with all the other shoppers. I tried on women's clothes at 6 different stores and in a couple of stores the clerk led me into the women's dressing room when they could have guided me to the men's next door. I went to a shoe store and bought two pairs of shoes, a pair of high heels and a pair of ballet flats. I went downtown, parked and walked through a busy square to go see a movie. A few days later I did it again and went to another movie. I went to a restaurant, just one, I wish I had gone to more. During the entire week I got a few glances but not many, I felt like I was just another women out and about. No one confronted me, made fun of me, smirked, pointed me out or said anything ugly to me. I don't think I "passed" but I think I was confident enough to be accepted.
My goal was not to walk through these places, I wanted to interact so I made myself talk, softly, to clerks and others when it was appropriate.
I also went bike riding and jogging as a woman. I can't wait to do this again and have another opportunity coming soon.
My new fear is that I might be too confident the next time.
Thanks for reading my story,
Joy
Welcome Joy! I'm new as well and I've found this place to be very cool! Hope to see more of you!
Hi Joy and welcome to CDH. It sounds like you are a great deal of fun..."testing your boundries, as it were. It seems that the biggest hurdle is taking that first step. After that, we are away to the races! Congratulations on your great sucess. Look forward to hearing more about your challanges and how you've faced them.

Joy , sounds like a wonderful time. Certainly a confidence booster. I too am waiting to go out but my nerves are just too bubbly right now. It's a big step for many of us and to do this safely and be aware of all around. Thank you for sharing your ventures and the best to your next trip out. Welcome and be waiting to hear about your next visit abroad.🌹
Joy, I'm a newbie although I did do a little dressing up in my early teens. I envy your courage to "go out"...however you may be much more passable that I. I still feel I have so far to go before I would consider to be "passable" myself . I've been using the go pro to check on my progress since my "all in" acceptance of the fact that I am a cross dresser this past March. Since then I've been on an "on line" binge buying spree, which was a mistake since I didn't really have a clue what the heck I was doing. A lot of the stuff was junk and took weeks to here. Trying to research more..oops! Off on a tangent. Kudos on the move to make that first step...wish you luck and best wishes
Wow that is a big step Joy and so happy you were able to achieve it. It must have been wonderful that feeling of freedom I am so happy for you. Welcome to CDH and hope you will grow here as much as me I have well maybe you already have surpassed me. LOL enjoy and again welcome to CDH.
