Going out doesn't always go well :) No biggie, just spotted.
Nearby where I live is a quiet, residential community. I decided one night with my gf to go running in fem. I went out in pink regalia; pink shorts, bra, shirt, hat, and shaved legs. A few of the big details that scream fem were there. At 9:30 we went out on our run... after I'd had a few beers (nothing like ruining the point of the workout before leaving the house :rolleyes:).
Normally we run in the morning, and very few people are out. I was expecting the same. Within the first five minutes, though, I'd seen five cars driving painfully slowly past me. At night, running, in pink, you'd think you have a good chance of passing. Even at 6'2" I figured that was probably the case and tried not to let the potential get the best of me. Another ten minutes and ten cars later, a car pulled into a drive 100m ahead of us. I thought little of it, but decided to slow down and allow time for them to enter the house before running past. Instead they stood talking, and approached the street to check their mail. I ran past at about five feet away, both of them watching. Ouch. Passing at five feet away, with no wig, and at over six feet, just isn't going to happen. They stopped talking and kept staring. Just writing about it makes me uncomfortable. My gf picked up pace and I followed, deciding to start home at this point.
On the way home, right before the driveway, there's a wooded pathway to cross. Still a bit flustered, I was talking with my girlfriend about the girls. I didn't see the guy ahead walking his dog, but I'm sure he heard me... my best fem voice is not passable yet. We ran past, me in pink, obviously in drag. Awesome. :thumbsup:
No, no one molested me or made comments, but knowing that you're clocked by the look in their eyes is about the most uncomfortable experience ever. Being a woman is vulnerable enough, but being obviously outside the societal norms makes you even worse off. In a culture where guys are supposed to me men, going fem is pretty unacceptable to most. And then again, even if I know I was read, who knows that the hell they thought. Maybe they thought I had good running form, or that I was a preverted child molester. :eek: Guess you just have to let go, let them think what they will.
Lessons: 1) When running in fem, run in the same place at the same time of night first in guy mode to know what exposure you'll have, unless you're thicker skinned than me 2) If you're scared enough, you'll forget you've been drinking 3) Don't drink and run (stumbling brings more attention) 4) You're less likely to get clocked running faster, which makes for a better workout ;)
Cliff's notes: Clocked running in pink. Bad times.
