We have several social groups in this area of the Puget Sound. Mostly we go out to lunch and shopping. Other outings are Social Justice groups in the area to promote LGBTQ+ issues.
We always have a great time!

I put down every week, although it is more like almost every day, at least since March when I started working from home.
We have an app from our company that will give us points if we reach certain step levels (or equivalent by doing other exercises) each day. These points could be exchanged for gift cards.
I would usually reach these levels on work days, but not on weekends. I decided a year and a half ago that if I’m going to get paid to go out and walk on weekends (as long as the weather wasn’t awful), I would do it en femme. When the weather or other circumstances prevent it, I’d do my walking on the treadmill.
Since working from home in mid March, I have gone out en femme almost every day for a walk around my neighborhood. Since I only did it a couple of times as a guy before switching to always do it as a woman, the people I see only know me as a woman. I have also done a lot of shopping en femme, partly because of the mask, and partly because I am now shopping solo (being with family members would possibly make me more recognizable; being alone no one will pay close enough attention to figure out who I am).
Emily our weekend out kind of inspired my poll/post.
Stevie, I get that, totally. my first time out, the hardest step I ever took was the first step outside of my room, the first time I went out with the ladies.
Kim, the mask and sunglasses during the day make me soooooooooo much more confident!
I usually go out on the weekends to go shopping. I love to get my hair and nails done en femme I am surprised at the compliments I get.
Nice question BillieJay,
Up to the onset of the killer bugs I would have said that I would go out ‘every time’ I got dressed. I don’t mean clubbing or pubbing but I loved to go mixing and mingling and would drive miles to explore new shopping centres, I would even take my own shopping with me in order to ‘fit in’ with the crowd.
Alas, no more crowds to hide in and I’ll be damned if I would smudge my lipstick wearing a sweaty mask.

i go out about 3 times a week, sometimes more. i go out every friday and saturday night usually to go out to a restaurant to eat and then to a bar to play pool. its about a 7 to 8 hour a night. then during the week ill dress and go shopping or something for a few hours. in the summer i like to go walking around at the beach. i can usually spend 20 to 30 hours a week out dressed.
The only time I go out in public and am not dressed is on my way to or from work, and then it is a typical male shopping exercise…. rush in, get what I need and then leave. 20 minutes tops. I find it so much more relaxing to take my time when I am dressed the way I should be, and even a Wal-Mart trip can take over an hour sometimes.

I checked every week. It might be more, or less depending on where I am going. Most of my outings are for grocery pickups and one of those involves entering a store. When I go into a store, I don’t wear my wig or forms but my pants, shoes (no heels), top and undies are all ladies wear. I have read in CDH in the past that this is “stealth” mode. If I do a drive up grocery pickup, I still don’t wear my wig, but very often turn up in a skirt, hose and ballerina flats and also have my forms on. Picking up groceries at Walmart doesn’t require you to get out of the car, so driving there and back home en femme, albeit wig-less, is an achievement for me.
I try to get out as often as possible. Often it’s just a drive around in the car and getting out here and there or doing some brief errands. I have found on the hot and humid summer days, wearing a wig is very uncomfortable and hot so I won’t go out because of that. On some brutally cold winter days I find ust the opposite to be true. As much as I love my sheer pantyhose and, short dresses, it’s just too cold to go out dressed that way if it’s just going to be a get out and experience adventure.
In the spring and fall seasons I get out as often as possible. I would love to have really great adventures with other CD’s when I do but often it’s just my little drive arounds with brief stops.
Hi Billiejay
Grace is out and about every week, amount of days per week depends on amount of cash to spend…haha
Smiles, grace x
I get to go out dressed about once a month right now.
I travel for work, driving 960 km from my home to the job site where I stay for 3 or 4 weeks at a time. These drives have become the time that I can enjoy being dressed for 12 hours at a time. I do makeup, get dressed and drive. There are a few towns I stop in to go shopping or for food/coffee/fuel. The sandwich shop where I get lunch actually know my usual now. It is so affirming to be acknowledged as a person in my femme presentation.
I’m dressed most times I go out now, except for when I need to use an ID or I’m meeting folks I’m not out to. Honestly, the current situation helped me to get out and confident because I could wear a mask and “hide” somewhat. Now that I’m Heather about 80% of the time I spend out I am more confident and really don’t like the 20% I’m not. I’d say that right now is a unique time to be able to get out with less people and the chance to hide a bit as well! If you haven’t yet ow want to more, I say go for it girl!
Since last fall, Ellie is pretty much full time at home and out in public. The exception is when I am with my wife as she is not comfortable being seen with Ellie in public. I’m hoping that with eventually change, but I am not pushing her on this. Ellie goes out with her daughters and sister, and on all general errands, groceries, Dr. visits, hardware store, recreation activities, etc.
The big kicker for me is who will return to the office when it finally reopens, Ellie or Ed? It’s going to be awkward and challenging the first couple of days since few at work are aware of Ellie, they have only seen Ed thanks to COVID. It’s becoming clear to me, however, that Ellie must be who represents me now, she makes me so happy. Ed, not so much.
Hugs and love, Ellie
Almost full-time but different from most. I like to say I’m a stealth crossdresser. I blend in with men. In most cases you could not tell I was wearing women’s clothing. From plain women’s jeans, leggings(well I don’t think this counts anymore. I notice there is a legging craze with men lately. It is becoming the new normal for men to wear leggings)and everything else. I don’t shave off my big three-foot beard. I just me doing me. Don’t follow the gender lines, I am more bending them to they are at their breaking point.
So if you see a man with a big gray beard, chest full of hair, in a sundress and big floppy hat. That just might be me.
So walk up and say I bet your Hippie and say hello
I voted monthly. I belong to two CD/TG support groups in my area. The first meets the 2nd and 4th Monday, while the second meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday. The first group also has public outings on certain nights. I was planning on joining the 3rd Thursday outing this past year. However, COVID canceled that and the meetings as well. I hope the COVID social gathering restrictions are lifted soon.
