Sitting at home no where to go

[Shybrenda]

I am sitting at home dressed and no where to go. Hardest part I would like to post a picture but don’t want it all over the internet. Have a iPhone but I don’t trust it.I look good today. Well that’s the way I see myself. Wish I knew where to go to places like some of you ladies have talked about. Want to injoy my time dressed because it is the most comfortable for me. I feel the happiest. I am in a very stressful work inviorment and this is my happy place. I show myself as shybrenda this site is really making me understand that I am very comfortable just being Brenda.

Go to the mall, or the grocery store, or a local park... anywhere you’d go in guy mode you can go dressed! Just get out there and do it!

[KatieEvans1989]

Heya...

I have an iPhone and I take my pictures with it all the time... You just need to ensure you turn off automatic uploads to icloud and it'll stay purely on your device. iPhones are the most secure smartphone on the market.

I've yet to leave the confines of my house too. But it's going to happen, and happen very very soon. Have you considered going to events for dressers etc etc?

My iPhone is a company phone don’t trust it. If I turn off sharing and the cloud you think that is safe? I have hundreds of pictures on an old iPhone that is no longer in service. Would like to get them off.

[Micki_Finn]

I wouldn’t suggest using a company phone for anything personal. You never know what kind of tracking they’re using.

I use my iPhone all the time for pictures. I use a photo vault to keep my pics private. I won’t leave my house dressed as there are retirees in my area. But I have an awesome friend that lets me change at her house.
Get out there.

Let me second what Micki said. DON'T USE COMPANY PHONE FOR PERSONAL USE. Very good chance, it is a tracking device. Think how they might ensure recovering their stolen or lost property?

[Tracii G]

Best to not take pics on a company phone.
Go buy a small used digital camera and down load to your PC if you have one.

[Leslie Mary S]

Do they have a Micro SID chip? or can you hook it to your computer with a cable? eve many of the older flip phones have a Micro SID chip inside. I had one that required you to take the back off and remove the battery to get to the Micro SID Chip that was under the SIM chip.

[Shybrenda]

Thanks about the company phone that was my thought. I have great pictures on that old iPhone hope I can get t off and then I will post. It has been most injoyable today. Thank you all.

[Amy Lynn3]

Just a thought on you getting out of the house. Go for a ride. Go through a drive thru and order some fries. It will start you on your way to going to a Mall.

[Sami Brown]

My first time out dressed was through a drive thru at night. That is a good way to get your heels wet.

I would not use a phone to take pictures of myself as a female and especially not one owned by my employer. All my photos are taken with a digital camera (not a phone, a camera) and are stored on a USB drive not kept plugged into my computer.


Avatar photos on this site can be viewed by other people. However, it would be pretty unusual for someone to be looking for them. And hopefully, made up with a wig and female clothes, you won't be recognized.

I to tend to Not use my phone to take Leslie photos.

The USB charging cable can be used to transfer photos to a computer.

Leslie, I don't want to disappoint you but ShyBrenda fears are f very well foundaded. If you gals want to know how safe is this place write your name here and Google it.
This is not a thread for pics and I don't know if the admin will erase my post or pic but I attached is a pic screenshit with the results of a search of my name here that takes you to a one of the threads...I had to scroll down a bit and bingo!
This is not the first time I've seen it. Time ago I advised e other girls here about it.

That's true if it's the cable that came with the phone. Some cheap, aftermarket cables only have the power pins connected, and not the data pins.

Leslie--You have the whole world to travel, but start with baby steps. Take a drive; take a walk with nobody around; expand the walk to an evening stroll at the beach or window shopping. At night, all the detail about you is lost unless you are well illuminated. As you feel more comfortable with the little excursions, think bigger. The holidays are approaching. Malls are fantastic then. They are loaded with people and nobody has the slightest interest in you! They are busy doing their own thing, whatever it might be. Personally, I have found trips to the mall much more comfortable when loaded with people than when devoid of people. During the holidays is also when I got up the nerve to stand in line at a checkout counter to buy a skirt for myself while dressed. The sales assistant was so busy she had no time to be interested in me, only the transaction. Same with grocery store checkout lines.

Today, I intended to go to a lecture about women in the military. I chickened out. Twice now this has happened because the venue (which I scouted en femme in advance) was small and had limited access. Some of you would have felt it normal to attend these events, but I don't yet have the confidence. It will come, but progress is slow because I have such few opportunities to expand my horizons. Good luck to you.

You can get a basic digital camera really cheap nowadays if you don't want to use your phone, which will come with all the software and hardware you need. As for going out it has been suggested that a drive, a short walk, trip to the shopping mall ect. are good ways of getting out, this is true.

[docrobbysherry]

I use a camera, not my phone for photos. Here's why:

Security. Pics r safe on a card!
Ease of transfer. Stick the card in any computer and there u go!
Storage. No chance of accidental erasure on a card. Plus, they last a long time!
I HATE selfies! The same smiling face a billion times! But, it's so easy to put my camera down anywhere. Turn on the timer and take full body pics with background in them!:D

[Glenda58]

Everyone is telling you how to post pics.

But places to go. Anywhere a door is open and you can get in. A show , bar, store, casino, the mall a park. Go have something to eat by yourself. Find some friends here near you to go out with. No reason to stay home dressed alone.

[jennifer0918]

Brenda the hardest step you will ever take will be that very first step in heels out the door,after that it's all a cake walk.

[Beverley Sims]

Brenda,

You have to take small steps until you get used to being your new self, there will be periods of loneliness. despair and guilt all in the mix.

Moments of euphoria along with annoyance at not being able to do something when friends come around.

Always value your friends and you eventually find an outlet on this forum to interact with others.

[Helen_Highwater]

Brenda,

Firstly, do not use company property for personal use. Taking pics of yourself dressed could give an unscrupulous employer the excuse to fire you as your actions brought the company into disrepute.

As for getting out I find myself relating this many times over. I'd decided I was going out shopping. Dressed I sat in my car nervous as hell parked up outside the shops. Perhaps the hardest point is the moment you actually pull the door handle and move a foot outside. Stood up, got my coat and bag off the back seat, coat on, hair straightened, bag on shoulder and head off into closest store. 15 minutes later I was in my 3rd store, nerves calming down and had actually stood in line and bought something.

Spent the remainer of the day shopping and the rest is history as they say.

[Leslie Mary S]

I am not really ready to do the solo thing again (Did it twice) without my Dark AnGGel with me. I buy the wrong things. Like a metallic blue mini-skirt.

[Stephanie47]

I don't take pictures of myself. If I was a computer 'geek' maybe I would do it. Anyway, as far as getting out of the confines of a home I started by taking a drive through my expanded neighborhood. I stayed off the freeways. I did not want to have my car breakdown in the middle of the freeway and have to deal with car troubles en femme. If it happened on local residential streets I could change into my male clothes and deal with it. When I decided to get out of the car it was to take an evening stroll. Even today when I do get the opportunity to be en femme I create reasons to get out of my car. Maybe it's to return a library book. Or mail a letter. Or grab a can of soda/pop from a vending machine outside a grocery store. I found the best time for a leisurely neighborhood stroll is during a light rain. Out comes the umbrella. An umbrella helps conceal the visual of my six foot frame and male feature face if I encounter a person walking toward me. I have not sought to mingle with the masses yet. I do not want to induce stress when the goal of wearing women's clothing is to reduce stress. The only time I intentionally wanted to mingle with the masses or at least do some shopping was on Halloween.

Hi Brenda

I did my first trips outside this past summer
All at night.
A couple of times I walked the dogs, once or twice brought the garbage to the curb.
My great adventure was going to an ATM. As it turned out, the my card would not work in the ATM kiosk door so I had to go to another ATM ... one with more people around, etc.
In all cases, the first step out of the house was the hardest; and the easiest was the second ATM - the one with more people around, etc... I think one part was that I’d already been out for 20 minutes so it was feeling more normal, the other is that I was mad/distracted having to go to a second machine, etc, and I sort of “forgot” I was dressed!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Brenda it took a while for me to get out of the house (other than Halloween). Now the world is my oyster, I see you are a fellow Pa member. Once you get out you will see that it isn't so bad at all.

[docrobbysherry]

Brenda, I go out a lot. But, not by myself or to vanilla venues. Find some T friends and visit T friendly venues with them!

I've found there's no stress, only fun involved in that!:hugs:

[michele4848]

back in the 90s I joined a tv/cd/tg group and we met monthly . I was scared to death the first time out. but after a few times out I enjoyed being girly. one member had grs. I started wearing a bra and panties every day to work(construction). slept in a nighty and panties. got ears pierced, and was ready to seek hrt, but things changed at home and marriage fell apart so I stopped dressing for almost 20years. now just dressing at home is sooo nice.
