    Sister sightings

    When you are out and about in drab doing the usual errands, moving about with day to day shopping or other activities, how often do you have a "sister sighting"?

    There have been many wonderful stories of being out en femme and having fun with sisters and meeting sisters at GNO's and other activities. However, I have not seen any stories of "sister sightings" in the context that I have described above.

    I keep my eyes open for other sisters but have not the pleasure of a "sighting". Either the sisters are very passable in my neck of the woods or are not going out in public.

    Has anyone had a "sister sighting"? What did you do when you had one?

    I have been more aware of the possibility of a sister sighting lately. It usually involves a taller-than-average woman who is slightly man-like, but there are other times I'm just not sure. One of the areas where I assume an undressed up sister is before me is when I see another man searching through the women's clothing at the thrift stores I shop at regularly. They might be shopping for a gift for their wife/daughter etc., as I hope others think about me, but I assume they're in the same section for the same reasons I am.

    Spotted such a lady last week. I think more probably a transitioning TS. She was improbably tall for a woman, but I certainly identified with her.

    Anneliese, you could have spotted me searching through the racks at some big department stores around here recently. I was with my gg GF and her daughter who were shopping. I love those excursions. It's just window shopping for me in that situation, but it's fun. Someone who knows "the signs" would probably have clicked to my level of enthusiasm, even if I was clearly in the wrong part of the ladies' section. (juniors? uh, no.) I have too much fun helping them find clothes.

    I haven't spotted any since I was a teenager so I'm not sure how to act. Since I have come to terms with cd'ing, it would probably be a great big HELLO.

    The other day when I went to the city-county building, I saw one.
    She was going thru security just before I was. Pretty cute really, I didn't say anything, just kind of thought "alright! "

    If it had been somewhere else, I might have stopped and greeted.

    Oh great!!!!!

    Now do I not only have to wonder if I've been "made" by the general public, I also have to look out for other C/Ders running after me shouting something like...."Hi Debs"

    [SIZE="3"]I have once, for sure, spotted a sister. She was with a GG, at a Chinese restaurant. Her shoulders were my first clue. I looked for an adams apple but, it was not very prominent. The cincher was when she went to pay and had her male wallet in her purse. She was very nervous, and I wanted to tell her she looked fine and to relax. I was unfortunatly with family, who I am not out to. [/SIZE]

    I have spotted a few possible sisters at Goodwill--and--one day a tall woman scared me away from the dresses rack. 60 seconds later I took a good look, as I hid behind the women's short sleeve pullovers. Finally I got bold and caught her eye and winked, as I held a woman's top. Finally said to her, "Hi I am Jennifer--do you think this would fit me?"
    He/she then introduced herself. She said she suspected that I could be a sister in drab.

    In the town next to mine, there is a very tall senior-ish full timer that I see almost daily as she walks to the grocery store & back to her apartment. Sometimes I think the miniskirts, and even a petticoat is a little over the top for someone that age, which occasionally distracts traffic.

    About a year back I was out eating very late at night and our waitress was a sister. I was with 2 GGs and was myself going through a purge and rejection phase. They giggled and laughed so much she stopped waiting on us. I kept my mouth shut, and if they only knew they might not have been laughing so much. Needless to say I am not friends with these girls anymore. Interestingly enough she is someone who posts here!

    I saw a gentleman with his wife in a Subway's in Ashland, Va, we were both in drab, but since I keep my hair long and styled femme, he smiled and gave me a big thumb's up. I pretty much figured he must have been cd. I wish I would have stopped and chatted. - If you happen to be a member here, give me a shout!

    At a chess tournament of all things a couple of months ago (chess is my main hobby and I've been playing tournaments on and off for 35+ years, when I was in junior high, shortly after Bobby won the world championship). We've been out 3 times but all we do is play chess I came out to her on the phone before the first time we went out, I don't think she was expecting that. Have not gone out (or stayed in ) with her when I'm dressed yet, she on the other hand lives it 24/7, whereas I'm just beginning my journey and don't know where exactly it might lead.

    I have never had a (sighting) This thread sounds like a UFO or a Bigfoot sightings.

    " The Very shy creature is rarely seen out if her normal habitat and is easily frightened. If you see the creature you must report the sighting to the military right away and not approach the creature to prevent a forced makeover ! You might end up looking fabulous."

    Ok silly I know but that's what I was thinking about while reading about the "sightings".

    I if you see me out dressed or see me in drab your more then welcome to come up and say hi if you want , but most girls don't what the attention. So if you do "spot" a sister don't do anything to upset her as much as we all want to share this with them.

    I would like to "see" a fellow sister but so far I have yet to.......That I know of. The other girls might just pass so much better then I do or can see. I can't wait to really see one of us.

    If I do spot a sister you all will be the first to know!!!

    Haha @ Christina Horton

    I've seen a few people wearing women's clothes while out but never a "CD" in full femme.

    Same here, I have barely, if ever, seen a "sister" or full cd out & about & not in an event where they would normally be at. It's very strange as I live only an hour away from the big NYC, now you know there are quite a few there, but somehow I don't see them around here.

    I don't think I've ever knowingly seen a fellow "sister" out and about. I think it may have to do with the fact that everywhere I've lived has been near a military post. Not saying there are no CDing soldiers out there (like me) but I think the soldiers would rather not CD in a town around such a high population of military boys where they could possibly be caught/outed. I also think civilian CDers would rather not be around such a high concentration of testosterone filled military boys either.

    When I do venture away from the area where I live, I normally don't actively look for other CDers...even if I have seen a fellow "sister", they've blended in so well, I didn't notice.

    I don’t know if you were being serious or not Debs but either way I agree. I often think, why the hell people would get “excited” about meeting some lady out doing her daily activities, for example, going to the shop for a loaf of bread. Would she really want to get ‘clocked’? I know if I am mistaken [which doesn’t happen often but still…] it kills my confidence. Seriously.

    I probably encounter a lot of transgender people out and about but I never really notice but then again I never say a thing…why would I want to tear their confidence to shreds?

    I don’t want people running up to me going “hey brother!” <<< GTFO.

    My friend is MtF [who’s “stealth” btw] and is sitting here reading this post with me and thinks it’s disgusting that people would question the femininity or masculinity of women/ men- how do WE know if they are males or females, or just lesbian women [they could well be transmen…but then again, could just be butch women] or they could be feminine men etc etc…isn’t that like an invasion of their privacy to live their lives without people questioning their motives. If someone was to run up to them in a supermarket and out them, it could seriously put their safety at risk. Not even a joke.

    I wouldn’t even make a joke about this, or even think about it at all…I hardly pay attention to people in the streets anyway [because where I live in Glasgow that could get you stabbed], but I’d never even question it either if I seen someone as masculine or feminine- it’s not my business and I keep my nose out, even if they do or do not know it.

    I agree with you and your friend NiCo but unfortunately, the truth of the matter is, people are judged everyday because of the way they dress/present themselves and I don't think that'll ever change.

    If I were to go out in public I'd hate it if someone were to come up to me and acknowledge me because I'm CDing; even if it were a positive comment. Because then, it would make me even more self conscious. I would hope that I could be able to pass inconspicuously. And that's why, if I were to notice another "sister" I wouldn't say anything to her unless first spoken to.

    I may have plenty of lesbian and gay friends and am very open to how other people decide to present themselves and live their lives but I have to be honest with you, I am still guilty for judging other people because of the way they present themselves...and I don't think there is one person in this world that hasn't done their fair share of judging of other people...it's a sad but unfortunate truth...

    Occasionally, I catch a glimpse of one. My wife on the other hand picks them out right and left, and then discretely brings them to my attention. We never approach these people out of respect for their privacy. Sometimes it is interesting to observe how others react when they clock a CD.

    Most of our encounters have been while traveling throughout the US and Canada. Compared to many of you, we live about as far into the boonies as can be. Nevertheless, we have run into them here too.

    If you want to see more of us "out in the wild", then it pays to be more observant. Otherwise, you can be somewhat oblivious like me.

    My wife spotted a sister at a local department store salon yesterday. She was dressed in slacks, in full make up without a wig on. My wife assumed she possibly was having her wig styled. I was in another part of the store when she told me and thought "good for her". I had no inclination of checking her out and was a bit envious of her enjoying her experience.

    Back in 2007 I used to work in a casino. One night while I was working (I worked in drab) and a group of four ladies were having a night out at the casino. I could tell that one of them was a sister, and I eventually went up to her and started talking to her. After we talked for awhile, come to find out that all four of them were CD's. I was so surprised. Like i said, I could tell that the one i was talking to was a cd because even though she was very beautiful that night, she had a very prominent Adams Apple, she was taller then average, and she didin't do the greates job conceiling her facial hair....some light stuble could be seen on her upper lip. But I was sooo surprised that the other three were CD's as well.....They were soooo gorgeous, and totaly (atleast to me) undetectable!

    You could have stood up for her without outing yourself. If you defend people's right to diversity, etc. it doesn't shout to the world "I'm one too."

    I've only had sightings on two occasions. Well the first one was in the late 1970's which went on for several years. There was a guy who rode a bicycle around town while dressed as a woman. The rumor was that his wife had died and it affected him so much he had taken to wearing her clothes. I don't know if he tried to pass as it was so obvious he wasn't a female. He would come to the theatre where I worked on occasion and if I recall, at least once there was a day's or so worth of beard stubble. Most of the time, I'd see him on his bicycle but would sometimes see him in stores around town.

    I recently cleaned up my bicycle after it being dormant for over fifteen years. On weekends, I sometimes wear light eye makeup and I think about the guy when I ride my bike with the makeup on.

    The other sighting was a few years ago in San Diego. I was at Fashion Valley and was having lunch at a restaurant outside. A sister walked in with a GG and sat down at a table near me. The sister seemed a bit self conscious and again, was obviously male. I mentioned this couple to a GG friend I visit when in the area and she had a positive comment about them. I wish I could remember her exact words as I kind of want to come out to her but am afraid of losing the friendship.

    There was also the time I saw a group of gay guys (from what I judged by their mannerisms) at the same mall. One was wearing women's sandals, but I don't think that really counts.
