I have to say that I agree with you. There is a time and a place for everything. I know I would not care to be a part of something that caused anyone undue distress. I know many who run outside of the vanilla world feel that being visible is a key thing, but really, a grown male mincing around the mall dressed like Miley Cyrus is not going to be read as a political statement or a way to educate the public on BDSM or transgender life. It's really just going to brand you a horse's patoot.... I don't mean to sound overly critical of the OP. I in fact applaud you OP on finding a relationship that sounds fulfilling to both you and your partner, but please, confine your sexual play to the privacy of your home or other appropriate venues. It would just be showing sensitivity to everyone out for the day and it really won't hurt you to abstain for the short time you are out. I remember once a discussion with a gay friend. He lamented that there are so few openly gay teachers visible in the classrooms of America's schools due to hidebound old biddys, and the religous right etc. To his shock, I remarked that I personally agreed with the lack of visibility. I told him that I do not want out gay teachers in the school and I matter of fact don't want any out heterosexuals there either! I can't imagine why there should be any teacher talking about being gay, or straight, with the students. I want our teachers to teach, not discuss their sex lives with the kids......
