I think crossdresser bonds are very advantageous from both a friendship and an educational perspective. The friendship aspect is pretty obvious but the education advantage may not be so apparent. It comes in the form of learning from other more experienced crossdressers money saving tips and tricks. Not necessarily older teaching younger but exchanging valuable information back and forth based on the trust of the crossdresser bond.
This year marks a crossdressing milestone for the members of Crossdresser’s Heterosexual intersocial Club commonly known as CHIC which started fifty years ago this year (1975) in a far different world than we know today. Security of the members was paramount as families, careers and much more could vanish immediately if the crossdresser was discovered.
Hearing politicians being addressed as the honorable this or that got me to thinking. With all the lies I hear coming from both sides do they deserve that title? Its a non partisan issue so I’m not getting political here and I do have a point to make. Most every crossdresser I have met over the years is what I would describe as an honorable crossdresser and deserving of that title.
My regular readers and subscribers are familiar with all of my travel adventures but not the crossdressing obstacles that I sometimes experience. In general I keep my posts positive and in some cases humorous if at all possible. I think of myself as a positive person for the most part and forge ahead when I encounter some type of crossdressing obstacle. It occurred to me that my readers think that every adventure just falls together naturally and comes out perfect every time. I thought it would be interesting for me to recount some of the crossdressing obstacles that I have experienced and pushed through for an overall good time.
I enjoy meeting new people where ever I go but seasoned crossdressers are one of my favorites. Its fascinating for me to compare experiences with ladies who are from the same era that evolved with their crossdressing almost in parallel. Saturday night we shared east coast and west coast perspectives along with some personal family details.
o say that my crossdressing has evolved is definitely an understatement from decades ago only going to places where we met in back rooms of restaurants to today fully out in public. I now go out pretty much anyplace any time like this week in Las Vegas. My crossdressing comfort level has reached the point where I go out to dinner and shows in public often by myself. Last night my crossdressing destination was Ferraro’s Italian restaurant located just east of the Strip. I have been there many times and always been treated very well.
I just added new page to my website in the VINTAGE HOTEL section for the Hotel Sorrento in Seattle https://mickifinn.com/hotel-sorrento/
The majority of people in the civilian world do not make a distinction for crossdressers and lump all of us under the transgender umbrella. I think its best for all of us crossdressers to accept the fact that we are considered transgender by many in the general public. Threats aimed at the trans community should be considered as directed at us also.
Your health is something that should not be ignored or minimized in any way, I have known people who paid a price for doing so. Focusing only on crossdresser health here because those living full time or transitioning are already out to their doctors. Crossdresser health is of particular concern because we tend to delay care when we are shaved all over. I myself have put off examinations until summer when I let my hair grow out. I have for years scheduled my yearly physicals for August when all my hair has finished growing. If you live long enough though you will arrive at a crossroads where you have to make a choice. Do you have the luxury of waiting for a convenient time or do I go to the doctor hairless. The wrong crossdresser health choice can be very costly.
