Doesn't happen frequently, but T-ladies have routinely attended social events in both Austin and San Antonio.
Regularly, I ask all providers, local and visiting, if they're interested in attending local events. If so, we get them vouched and add them to the guest list.
Initially I had thought that the event vouching process might be problematical (our event rules require vouching in for all gents and all ladies) but never any issues. No, I don't share data on or from vouchers.
Most T-ladies seem to voice apprehension of the potential of disrespect at an event, but I assure them that all guests will at the very least be respectful.
And, as the alcohol flowsduring the event, just seems like everyone is more and more accepting and friendly, too.
The two visiting T-ladies at our 2014 San Antonio annual Hollow Weenie event expressed total surprise at the level of acceptance and later let me know they also enjoyed post-event fun, too. Not sure how often they returned to SA, but I know of at least one subsequent tour.
