D.J.
What consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes, tents, windowless vans, hotel rooms, etc. is their business and should be. However you state this took place in a public park! My God girl have you no decency? How do you know there wasn't a group of children playing hide and seek behind the trees or there with their parents to enjoy the beautiful weather you talk about? No you may have not crossed the line to indecent exposure however some overzealous rookie police officer may disagree with that. What could have the consequences been? At the very least most locales have ordinances concerning lewd behavior in public. In my never to be humble opinion you definitely crossed that line!
Did it ever cross your mind that there could have been security cameras around? If not in the park, on houses and/or business bordering it? Most Americans have cell phones with cameras, many with video capability. Did that ever come into your thought process or were you so lost in your sexual fantasy and dreams you didn't care? Honey, if you want to be the next big porn star on YouTube at least have the decency and consideration to take it inside so us with a sense of decorum don't have to be subjected to this type of filth.
You talk about being part of the "Woodstock Generation". You are far from alone in that. I still remember the first time I was arrested for participating in a sit down demonstration. When we were walking out of the police station my father who had just bailed me out said to me "You only get one." The next two times I was arrested for similar I called Grandpa and he bailed me out so you can see I have the provenance to speak here. Yes we were young and idealistic but
most of us matured and came to understand better ways to get our point across. I might expect, though just as disgusted by it, this type of behavior from some teen aged girl with her first crush, not an alleged adult!
While we are on the subject of being a member of the "Woodstock Generation" let us talk about your outfit. A schoolgirl skirt and crop top? Come on, give me a freaking break! Yes that may look cute on my granddaughters, one is 16 and the other two 14, however I would probably kick some a$$ if I saw their mothers wearing something like that, let alone ever think of wearing something like that myself even to walk out on my own deck let alone to a public venue such as a park. Yes costumes and role play are fun in an intimate relationship but do it in private with the shades drawn! In other words grow up and act your age and by that I mean your physical age not that fantasy number dancing around in your head!
Now I am going to take this as a teaching opportunity. Eileen intimated it as have I. Ladies, whether you like it or not, anytime you go out in public dressed femme you are an ambassador for the entire T community. Yes there are some that "pass" well and may never be made but be honest with yourselves here. Chances are you are made by one or more and opinions are made based on what people see and hear. There are enough preachers and politicians railing out about the freaks in the LGBT community and displays like Debbie Jean describes only serves to reinforce their rantings. Don't add fuel to the fire Ladies. No I am not telling you to go back into the closet, closets are for clothes and life is for living. Nor am I telling you not to wear that sequined mini skirt when you go clubbing. What I am saying is if you are going for a walk in the park or going shopping or out running errands dressed femme understand what people see will influence their opinions on the entire T community. If you want acceptance and respect then show you deserve it.
