Out n about

[leannejacobs]

Had a fantastic last couple of days away en femme, visited a number of towns and ventured out around all of them, in and out of shops and stores with a new found boldness, I've no idea where it came from, I just had this couldn't care less attitude, whenever I went somewhere I set my mind on what I was going to do and as soon as I arrived in my car I immediately stepped out instead of sitting around waiting for a quiet moment.
And do you know what happened? Nothing! Nobody cared, nobody said anything untoward, all in all I went about my business without issue, I am very tall which is my worst feature, however a couple of young lads (teenagers) saw me in one store and I heard one say to the other "Jeez she's tall!" which was like a pass to me 😊
So ladies, if you want to go out, do it, seriously if all 6' 5" of me can get off with it, anyone can, just dress your best and have fun, No one cares! Trust me.

Yes--most don't pay attn. or care. they are usually engrossed in their phones anyway. We Do try to avoid groups of "teens", as they are more likely to do the "clock-and-mock" thing. So IF youre afraid to step out--give it a try---you might be surprised at how much confidence you will gain. Cancelled my trip out last sun---as wind was gusting--and wig would have blown away!! :) So will try nxt wknd if weather cooperates. Get out there. Toni G..

Glad you had a good experience.

"Jeez she's tall!"
What a great confirmation of passing despite your height.

[Allisa]

Yes it is that simple to just be you. There is so much more waiting for you to experience.

I've been saying it for a long time that our GG population comes in all the same shapes and sizes that the male population comes in. Ah, the infinite variety of the human body. Listen to Leanne and embrace the body that God gave you and the taste for feminity SHE blessed you with.

This is a very nice and uplifting story. I am glad you had such a great experience!

Yes Leanne, indeed you had a great time. Not many care and I have had a great time out.

[Beverley Sims]

I see tall women often, a quick look then on with life.

I have seen a couple that warranted a second look, wondered, but still continued on my way.

I'm happy for you to have been able to go out and enjoy that beautiful time en femme, if you know me here on the forum, I go out a lot to, and I do everything a woman would do and it's such a great time.

Leanne,

Glad you had such a great time.

"And do you know what happened? Nothing! Nobody cared, nobody said anything untoward". This has been written here in the forum so many times. When you wrote, I just had this couldn't care less attitude, whenever I went somewhere I set my mind on what I was going to do and as soon as I arrived in my car I immediately stepped out instead of sitting around waiting for a quiet moment. I knew exactly what you meant. Not caring is such a hugely liberating frame of mind.

I believe that when we simply go about our business, don't hide, don't skulk, look folks in the eye when speaking with them, behave as any other person would, the world tends to shrug it's shoulders and simply carries on.

As for height. I'm not as tall as you, a mere 5'10" but still taller than the average GG. Having said that my daughter is as tall as me and has GG friends taller than her. Each generation gets taller so I've given up worrying about my height. I just go about my business and no-one seems to notice and if they do as you eluded to, they don't care.

Sounds like a pass to me too Leanne.

As you say you are very tall but that is not unique nowadays. Girls that tall do, however, tend to pop up only now and again and never in groups so my advise is to avoid going out with a group of averagely overtall crossdressers. On your own your just another rare very tall girl. If anyone spots any masculine features they are most likely going to sympathise and put it down to your height and not your real biological sex. Not that I can see any masculinity in your avatar by the way. :)

Very encouraging experience! Thanks for sharing.

Leanne, sounds like you had a great day. I worry about the tall issue myself.

[mykell]

I did find myself making so much more eye contact than before and if one thing works to stop people looking, that's it, just look them in the eye and smile, they'll generally smile back and look elsewhere.

hey leanne, was just out to a movie monday, connected to a mall, my friend sharon an i walked the mall, being 6' in flats makes folks pay attention.....made a game of it buy looking back and smiling to see how fast they look away....i too was feeling sooo happy.

have fun out there....

[MLane]

Very encouraging story, I have been wanting to give it a go myself.

[NancySue]

Absolutely right. Getting over the first hurdle (courage) is the toughest part. Went out to Payless shoes and picked up some flats and low heels. The sales ladies were very friendly. Couldn’t disguise my voice or name on the credit. They just smiled. One asked me if I did my own makeup. I said “yes with a lot of practice”. The feeling of elation is wonderful. As you said, “no one cares”. I will qualify, I do all my shopping out of town. Being seen/recognized in town would not be good. Use “common sense”.

[Jaylyn]

Leanne you go girl, it sounds like you just cast fate to the wind and went for it. I have thought about that but the town I live near is way too small and I'd be clocked, docked and locked up I'm afraid. Been thinking about visiting Houston one of these days and trying that GNO at least I know very few others down there. Proud of you Leanne you inspire with your post.

[CONSUELO]

Well done Leanne. Enjoy the freedom and exhilaration of just being yourself.

[Rollermiss]

How adorable that outfit is Leanne. I too have been out and about l just got back from another trip to Denver area for a memorial service. To support a fallen member and others in my line of work. My wife and my partner went. Once at the hotel, me and the wife dressed fairly nice and went to dinner. Just to an Applebees down from the hotel. The whole trip was uneventful. I even dressed in fem to take my partner out to do his business. While my wife wore a nice black dress,black lingerie, stay ups, black 3" pumps. Under my work cloths I also wore black lingerie.
