Happy New Year everyone.  Finally came to terms with my femininity and have tried to spend more time in public settings after many years just dressing at home.  Just returned from a great trip to England, where I got to spend time shopping in London and visiting various cool sites. I've been CD for decades but mostly in the privacy of home.  With more confidence I'm looking forward to spending more time out and about as Debra.  Will have to figure out how to post pictures.

Thanks Izzy -  London is such a great city for we girls as there are many CDers around and nobody really notices. We had lunch in a pub down on the South Bank near the Tate and nobody really gave me a second glance.  It's good for my confidence to be able to get around without the sideways looks - haha
