What item do you secretly not have yet that keeps you at home?

[Southern Michele]

If you are really going out of the house, as many have talked about here, is there a single item that you have not purchased that is keeping you at home?

For a while, when it was warm, I had everthing I needed but a purse. It became a good safety net. I could not go out without having a purse so I could not go out. Whew!

Uh Oh! I got myself a purse. Well now it is cold and I can't go out without a woman's coat. That is a kind of weak excuse for me since I LOVE coats and have many that would work for going out. Oh, well, now the Georgia T-Girls require all kinds of personal data on Yahoo before you can find out where they are going to meet. Safe at last, for now.

At this stage of my life there is nothing that keeps me at home. I was out in public most of the day today dressed totally enfemme, but as usual looking exactly like the man that I am. No wig and no makeup!

I did not carry one of my purses, as I was wearing jeans with pockets. Sorry, Karren, but it was too cold for a skirt!

BTW, Michele, I live in Alpharetta, GA!!

[Alice Torn]

Balls.

[msginaadoll]

Got everything I need to go out so I do. However I do need a new coat, and a new purse, and shoes......

[sandra-leigh]

Sorry, Karren, but it was too cold for a skirt!

It was colder today where I was then were you were, and I had no problem going out in an above-the-knee skirt!

If it doesn't risk genital exposure and doesn't show off my pot-belly in public, then I'm in. Or would that be, I'm out, as in "out the door" ?

[Sophie86]

Courage. I can go to places/events where I believe I'll be welcome, but to just dress up and go to the store in the middle of the day... I'm not there yet.

But to answer your real question, I would say that I don't have clothes that I think would really allow me to blend. One of the blessings of femme clothes--the range of options--is also a curse for those of us who are unsure of our fashion sense.

[JOJO44]

Let's see - - - Nope, got everything - plus three things I don't need.

A) At 6' 8", I got fifteen inches I don't need ( make that twice:D)
B) A voice that reminds one of a fog horn with a sore throat.
C) A face that only a mother could love.

a wig, my male butch cut ,, will not do

[Chickhe]

Same as you, a purse was required and a jacket for sure. I have been looking for a jacket recently and looking at all the woman's and they wear just about anything so it is easy or hard to decide what to wear depending how you look at it.

[Lexine]

None. I went out as a girl by my own accord. In fact, I decided that when I pursued CDing to actually step outside of my comfort zone in order to bring my confidence up. There were no compromises to this, and no backing down. I just went out! And what a glorious world it is :)

Good for you! I am impressed. I wish I had your confidence. That's what I need.

Balls.

Reminds me of when streaking was popular. I asked this one guy if he wanted to go streaking.

He said, "I don't have the balls to do it".

If I were quick on my feet I would have said, "Are you a vocal major? You must be a castrato".

Seriously I need to get makeup, but with funds really tight with unemployment that won't happen soon. And that seriously restricts my going out dressed. Fortunately my hair is long enough that I don't need a wig.

[docrobbysherry]

Yes. I need a new FACE!:brolleyes:

Of course, I HAVE plenty of faces. But, as the Santa in 'Miracle on 34th St'. said, "And, they're very good faces, too. But, NOT QUITE GOOD ENUFF!":straightface:

If I get one for Xmas, who's up for meeting day after tomorrow at Starbucks, girls!?:D

[the_me]

I'll agree with 'Balls'... I mean, if I had a pair, I'd walk out the door in a hockey jersey and a skirt! Sadly, I must be missing mine.

[eluuzion]

I still do not have the urge to commit "social suicide".

but I am working on changing that...:heehee:

[Kiera79]

I have every phucking item I need. I'm not pussy to go out the house. I just do it. It is a problem with self if you are pussy and can't do it.

[PretzelGirl]

That is really uncalled for. :angry: It is great that it is just so easy for you and I am glad for you. It isn't for others and this should be recognized. This is a support board (note the word support).

[Lexine]

Good for you! I am impressed. I wish I had your confidence. That's what I need.

When you just do it, you don't have time to overreact or overthink. It's similar to the three second rule when trying to pick up girls hehe.

[Nicole Brown]

As several other girls have already indicated, I am not missing anything, and so I do go out, and just about as often as possible and for as long as possible. All I can say to those of you who haven't gone out yet is, try it, you'll like it. All of the things that we have all heard about, the clicking of our heels, the chill against our nylon covered legs, the soft breeze blowing up our skirts are what makes going out en fem such a wonderful and exciting experience. I find that I am saddened each time I must return home and return to drab mode, but find that old excitement all over again each time I am getting ready to go out once again as Nicole.

[Zoie]

The first time is the hardest I just sat in the car second time I checked the mail at the post office and went for a long drive I haven't been out since. Me and the wife agreed on baby steps. It does take courage and time so kudos to those that have and for those that haven't you will one day it just takes time.

However as posted above let's not put down others who choose not too yet.

[kirsten]

I do not have the courage or the cloths right now. maby one day I find the courage to go out on the town. every make it sound some what easey.

Wait until next summer when you can wear denim skirts instead of shorts. That is what I did last summer - I almost always wore the skirts instead of shorts, such as to the store. My experience is that most people simply don't notice the fabric is rearranged as a skirt instead of shorts. My denim skirts even have a watch pocket just like jeans. The pockets are not quite as deep as with men's shorts but they are deep enough so I don't need to carry a purse. The zipper is shorter, but there is no problem - to urinate standing up all I have to do is lift the hem.

:love:

If I can be busted by a couple of female cops for public intoxication while going for a walk wearing a dress and be carted off to jail I don't think you have much of anything to worry about. At the court appearance there was no mention of what I was wearing when I got busted.

I am still alive socially.

[ninapuella]

How ironic isnt that? It takes balls to go out dressed like a woman as a guy. :) I have been thinking about this even when it comes to other things. I am very careful in my life as a guy when it comes to..hmmmm....everything, but going into a store and buying pantyhoses is appearantly no problems. It makes no sence. :/

[Karen__Starr]

I have pretty much everything I need and for the most part do not dress in male attire except about four to six hours a week.

[Diane Smith]

It's similar to the three second rule when trying to pick up girls hehe.

My education is lacking here, and I think I've missed something important! What is the "three second rule?"

[SANDRA MICHELLE]

I have everything and go out as often as I can get out. The only problem is "TIME". it takes a lot of time to be a woman. I will not go out unless I can look the part, I don't like to half ass it.

[Tina June]

I will probably never be ready to go out - at least trying to pass - because I have a full beard! - Which I happen to like - I know how strange it sounds - a crossdreeer with a BEARD! - to each his [or her] own!

[Kaz]

At the moment? A good coat and hat!

[linda allen]

Since I'm married and my wife doesn't know, the one thing I'm missing is the opportunity.

I have had a couple in the past but that was before I found this forum and understood more about what I was doing. So - I'm waiting. :heehee:
