I'm thinking of going to a mall tomorrow where I could be recognized. I'm looking in the mirror this evening and thinking I'm just a middle aged woman. I feel very fem, but I am taking a chance. I know that life as I know if would be over if I encountered someone I knew. It just feels so exciting to take a chance. What do you think?
Love, Sabrina

How is your overall presentation?

Sabrina,
The chances are more than even that you won't be recognised.
I came out to a couple I have know for most of my life, when I showed them a picture they thought it was another woman I was seeing, I had to spell it out to them it was me.

Hi Sabrina

You have to measure the risk vs reward of going out. Only you know how bad you need to do this. At least go some where far enough away to lessen the chance of meeting someone you know.

The final decision is of course up to you! Like what was asked, how good is your presentation? Do you look like a middle aged woman? Then no one who knows you as a male will know! I showed my son my transformation photos and he said he would have passed me by on the street without recognizing me! As I said the choice is yours! Hugs Lana Mae Best wishes with your decision!

To be honest Sabrina, I'm having trouble discerning the intended tone of your post. Are you honestly worried that you might be spotted, causing harm to you emotionally/socially/fiscally/romantically? Or is "life as I know it will be over" just hyperbole?

In my opinion, If you honestly think your life as you know it would be over, I don't think you'd be "excited" about the possibility unless at some level you WANT your life as it is to be over. But it's up to you to weigh the potential consequences. None of us know what you can lose or how valuable that is to you.

If you're just speaking hyperbolically then as Teresa says, the chance of being recognized is pretty negligible. People may be able to tell you're a CD but actually pinning your male ID is hard, especially with wig, makeup, etc. If it helps, get some big sun glasses and a wide brimmed hat to hide behind.

Actually, I am going to wear a red hat.

It's been said here before many times, don't trust a mirror to tell the truth.

Sabrina I've thought about getting out many times, it seems I think I could pass and no one would ever know but usually after I get out of the mood to dress or the morning after a dressing I look myself in the mirror and think glad you didn't do it. I just won't pass, I promised my wife not to go out, but the urge still is there. Think carefully about if you are ready to accept the consequences if you do.

I always traveled a bit from home so that I would not encounter someone I know. I now do things closer to home. I decided that if I'm seen so be it.
If you're afraid of the repercussions travel a little bit,

Sabrina bottom line is it's your choice, however with that said if your presenting well and I don't mean passing 100 percent
those who really know you most likely would not know. They aren't expecting to see you looking like a women so even if you were seen by someone even in a short glance it won't register to them it's you.
That's my take and it's always my thinking when I go out and about where I live

I want to tell you a quick story which scared me to death. Last year I registered at a motel as Mr....that night I dressed and was going out and instead of going through the main lobby to avoid the person on duty at the desk, I used the emergency exit door knowing that my key card would open the door from the outside when I returned. This was around 10:30 P.M. I drove to a restaurant which I knew had very low lighting and was a serve your self dining . I approached the clerk and presented my credit card ( by the way the card has initials and the last name ) and paid for the meal. ( NO PROBLEM ) I sat down after filling my plate and enjoyed the meal. I left the establishment feeling pretty good since this was my first time out and about. Drove back to the motel walked to the rear emergency exit door inserted my key card and the door would not open......Now picture this, I'm dressed no way of entering the motel except through the front lobby, so I have to take the chance that the desk clerk is not there and sure enough he wasn't. I walked to the elevator and went to my room. The card key would NOT open the door. Now I'm breathing heavy and sweating....I go down to the lobby and find a security person telling him my key card isn't working, he tells me to see the desk clerk. I walk over to the desk and avoid looking at the guy saying in a low voice my card isn't working. He activates the card but before asking me for my drivers license ( This is where I am horrified ) He looks at the ID and at me and smiles...................I go to my room and take a shower to calm me down. The lesson I learned that night was the hell with what people think, do what makes you feel good
