Not too many stories here so here it goes.

I've been crossdressing off and on for most of my life. Like most, every so often I'd decide to purge all of my CD clothing only to buy more at a later date. Maybe it is the ease of buying clothing (Amazon) or the changes in my personal life but I started to take dressing to another level within the last year. I went from jerking off with a thong to full dress with a wig. One thing led to another and I started to dress up and go to an adult theater a few towns from me. Most of the time the adult theater visits were nothing more than me walking around in heels while older guys ogled me but it was still a thrill to be dressed in public. A few times I posed while guys jerked off and that was a thrill too, the way they looked at me, the hunger in their eyes was amazing.

When I joined forums like Reddit I found people in similar situations as me, where dressing was more about expressing sexuality as opposed to being transgender. To me the distinction between CD/TV and trans is what you're expressing. When I'm dressed it is purely sexual and I want to be objectified as a sexual object. When I talk with people that identify as trans they are expressing who they are, which is so much more than sexuality, unfortunately most trans folks only get objectified.

I live outside of a major city so I started to post and respond on a few websites that had local CD/TV threads. After chatting with a few people on these sites I was invited to a CD/TV appreciation party at a local (upscale) hotel. The party is limited to 20 people, BYOB, and everyone is a CD/TV or a CD/TV admirer. There is a small fee paid at the door to cover the cost of the room. I decided I'm going to attend. I'm street savvy so based on the location I feel comfortable attending and if I'm uncomfortable I won't hesitate to bolt. I have 2 week wait until the party and I'm on the edge of seat with anticipation. Update to come.
