The lockdown has been hard. Used to be able to go out once a month as Michelle. Now, not so much. Wish I had a group to meetup with.
I agree with you so much, Michelle. I am kind of new at dressing and somewhat closeted about it. Sometimes dressing alone at home seems so solitary to me, wishing there was someone with me to appreciate the new me. Let us keep high the hope that opportunities to gather will open very soon, and that our online communities will become live-in-person communities.
That is exactly how I feel. I usually step out a couple of times a month by my self but it would be nice to do it with friends.
I think I could get over my terror and make the it from the car to the front door. My heart would might stop but I think I could do it. Show up in femme or guy mode with a suitcase? What to bring? Is it bad to have a shot or three before walking up to the door? Conservative lingerie or just wear my favorites? Ok I think I would be a little bit of a wreck…
I have been involved in setting up a local CDH chapter with the same hope of being able to gather and be dressed up with other girls. And, We now have a Mass chapter(I am from Massachusetts) with a couple of out of staters of about 10 members and we hope pandemic eventually calms to point where we can gather some night at a restaurant sometime in next few months. But of course, it is harder to do if you live in a place that is remote and where there are no other girls to meet up like in one of the CDH local chapters.
You have my empathy.

Hi Michelle I initially thought that you were talking about the private clubs that have been ask to shut down due to virus. I immediately could empathize with those of us who used those clubs for dressing and friendship. It truly has put a little damper on some of our cross dressing community. We still have CDH and other social media that allows us to connect with each other. I hope for those who have not found a place like a private club or some type of organized group that has a get together maybe once or twice a month just to share your thoughts and show off your cute outfits. It can bring so much relief to a stress full week not being able to express that pretty and cute part of us. Luv Stephanie
Hi,
My home is a safe haven since I live alone. I do attend parties at CD Shoppe. There are generally about a dozen girls and we talk about fashion and makeup. There is dancing etc. It is a very safe haven. We have not had any get togethers since the lockdown. We may never have another party, and that will be a shame!

I never met up with other CDs in real life. I saw TGs before in real life (clubs, street, praide, other places) but I never talked with someone in person. I remember that in the previous city that I was living in I used to attend a party line, and many times a very tall TG was there wearing impossible drag high heels that turn her even more taller. One time I was sitting somewhere in the club and she sat down next to me. Inside I had a lot of questions to ask her (tips for woman clothes, body care, etc) but I wasn’t brave enough to ask anything so I kept sitting there quite. I guess she had crash on me since that she set so close to me and it had enough room :). I have a place nearby that I heard that TGs like this place, I went one time but it was too crowd and I didn’t notice of TGs around (but I didn’t really check everyone). Anyway, not a place to meet new people.
I wish that I had a real life CD friend. Not as a sexual thing, just sometimes that sharing the same experience as me. I need to keep everything inside and we are human, we need someone to talk to, and I can’t do it with any of my closed friends. I can’t really do it with my wife, that know about Maya, because it’s different. She will always be in the wife perspective if you understand what I mean. It’s like you only talk with men about men’s problems. Some things I can only talk with other CD.
As the weather’s been cooling, I have been dressing and going out more often. I’m very tempted to attend a meeting or party, but with this covid virus, social distancing and mask wearing, I haven’t been going.
So for now I’ll just go out for a drive in Patty mode, get out and walk around a bit here and there, run a few short errands and maybe if nerve and courage permits, a brief shopping adventure.
In our country area we have at least one ‘naturist retreat’ (nudist colony).
I need to win lotto so I can set up a similar retreat for our community.
Imagine spending the whole weekend with like-minded friends in a secure location.
i have no problem finding places to go and things to do. its not like it use to be but there are still places to go. shopping, out to eat and just walking around. i go to a bar / pool hall every week. its not a gay bar, just a regular bar. people are great. they all get along with us. we talk to girls about girl stuff and clothes. id rather go to a regular bar than a gay bar. i find people are alot nicer there. gay bars seam to have there own little groups that dont like new comers. the regular bars accepts everybody. i even had bar owners say they are glad to see us there. as far as meeting another cd out there i say good luck to that. we have invited many cds to join us and they all chicken out. we have been trying for 2 years to get a group together for shopping or pedicures. everyone is too chicken to leave the house. your all dressed up and no one has ever seen you dressed up so they would never guess who you are. plus now your wearing a mask. do you need invisable paint too? i would much rather dress up and go out, than stay in the house dressed. im looking for another trainee. once i get you out youll never want to stay home again. people are not as mean as you think. either they keep their mouth shut or they glad to see you.
