Exploring Berlin: A Gender-Fluid Adventure

[Steph70kk]

I recently embarked on a 4-day journey to the vibrant city of Berlin. While I don't strictly categorize myself as a crossdresser, I lean towards being a gender-fluid individual who revels in the freedom of expressing my femininity through clothing, makeup, nail polish, and stylish boots

My Berlin itinerary was a blend of must-see landmarks and culturally enriching experiences. I had my sights set on visiting iconic sites like the Reichstag, the Jewish Memorial, the Jewish Museum, the Museum of German History, and more. At several landmarks, I had to go through security, which, while slightly inconvenient was also somewhat exciting (taking off my coat and showing my pretty dress). In addition, I was eager to explore the city's LGBTQ+ scene, with plans to check out some of the lively queer bars and restaurants. To make my adventures even more exciting, I rented a bicycle for 26 Euros, allowing me to navigate the large city with some effort.

One of the remarkable aspects of my trip was how Berlin embraced my non-binary style without hesitation. The city exuded an atmosphere of acceptance and inclusivity, making me feel comfortable and confident in my dresses and skirts, without any attempt to "pass" as a woman. I encountered just one exception, a somewhat grumpy airport security officer who had to perform a manual pat-down after the scanner registered some anomalies ? possibly due to my breast forms, shapewear, or stylish boots

What truly sets Berlin apart is its unwavering dedication to being a queer-friendly haven. The city boasts a rich tapestry of diversity, and during my stay, I couldn't help but notice a handful of fellow "crossdressers", a frequency I rarely encounter back home (Paris).

As I pen down these reflections, I find myself at an airport lounge, wearing my faux leather skirt and silk blouse while waiting for my delayed flight. Berlin has left an indelible mark on me, and I carry its spirit of inclusivity and acceptance with me, it has boosted my confidence as I return home (and a 1st time wearing a skirt on a flight). The memories of my time in this diverse and open-minded city will stay with me, a constant reminder that being true to oneself is a journey worth taking.

For anyone seeking an environment where they can truly be themselves, Berlin comes highly recommended. The city's open-minded and welcoming spirit guarantees a liberating and joy-filled experience. Whether you're gender-fluid, LGBTQ+, or simply an individual who values freedom of expression, Berlin is the place to be.

So, pack your favorite outfits and get ready to embrace the extraordinary spirit of Berlin, where you'll find the freedom to be your authentic self, no matter your gender identity or expression. Message me if you want some tips.

I guess I never thought of Berlin as having an "open-minded and welcoming spirit". I guess I've watched too many German war movies and other movies about Germany to think of Germans as anything but dour. I guess I should strongly reconsider Hollywood's view of Germany. As a kid, I always thought that Tarzan movies were almost documentaries of Africa, with a little drama. Little did I know at the time that Elephants and Chimpanzees both live in Africa, but not even close geographically. It turns out that Tarzan movies were often filmed in the Everglades (of Florida, US).

Germany sound like a lot of fun for a CD/TG.
