No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.
I’m not gay and I’ve had plenty of girlfriends but lately I’ve had a dry patch relationship-wise.
When I was furloughed, I was dressing as a woman daily in my own home.
I now have more confidence. This is who I am and who I want to be.
I long to take the plunge and go out dressed as a woman.

But I’m scared there might be people out there who aren’t kind, and I’d draw attention to myself – which may result in violence.
How can I stay safe?

If you don’t, then it will help you to build up your confidence.
People are now more accepting of our LGBTQ+ community and you might find you have no issues.
