SURVEY: How Often Do You Present Yourself as a Woman in Public?

[Teresa.Smith.VA]

QUESTION:
How often do you present yourself in public fully dressed as a woman?

MY ANSWER IS:
I CD and go out in public dressed as a woman about twice a month on average, usually with my wife.

[sara66]

I have been getting out 4 to 5 times a year. I would do more but life seems to get in the way.
Sara

[Sandi Beech]

It is all over the place for me. I am guessing 10 to 20 times a year on average; however, 2022 was a great year for me with 5 days out of 8 in a row in one trip. 2020 to 2021 was terrible because of Covid. I am hopeful about 2024. I would be happy with 2 per month.

Sandi

[bridget thronton]

A few days each year

[Bea_]

I?ve never been out as a woman. I?m a heterosexual man with feminine tastes.

[Robyn n TN]

I get out at least 2 times a week and have gone for a trip of 11 days without male clothes.

[Sometimes Steffi]

About once a month plus 5 days of "all girl, all day and all night at the Keystone Conference.

Now that I'm retired, maybe I can increase that.

Plus, I go shopping for girl clothes and makeup once or twice a week, but in full boy mode.

[Taylor186]

Once a year.

[mykell]

once a week....more when possible....

[Joanie CD]

I would say on average, 3-4 times a month. Some months more, some less. It's usually out with my wife for a drink, but sometimes just errands, and sometimes with women friends.

[Helen_Highwater]

As many will know, cuz I never shut up about it right! I usually get to spend a full week 24/7, once a year. This year I had more opportunities when my SO went on holiday with her sis for a week and was able to add 4 more days to the total.

[Fiona_44]

I live virtually full time as a woman so 99% of the time I leave the house it is en femme.

[Angela Marie]

3-4 time a month.

[TheHiddenMe]

Probably fifty to seventy-five times a year, with bursts of going out and then gaps for a while.

Read all about it at the link in my signature! (Shameless self-promotion)....

Late edit: based on a court in my Google Photos, 62 days so far this year.

[Suzi Q]

I have two days a month that I get dressed and go to the nail spa when they open at 9:30 AM. I spend the entire day shopping, having lunch, taking care of bank business, etc..
I have several sales ladies that I spend time conversing with on a regular basis.
I take a large ice chest and grocery shop and pick up vitamins, prescriptions, etc. that I don't get around home.
I attend a group therapy/ get together at 6 PM till 8 PM with the Transgender Institute Group and several of us then go to Minsky's Pizza until about 10 PM.
Often I pick up something for my wife's supper on the way home.
I sit and talk to her and watch TV for two or three hours and then take off makeup and clothes and end my day. ( she doesn't go to bed until around 4 AM every night)

(My wife has gotten used to this and tries to schedule things around it. She would rather I totally quit crossdressing, but she tolerates it.)

I also have a canoe camping trip every April that I dress to spend the days traveling to and from Arkansas and stop at places like Bass Pro and tour their museum and shops, but I remove my girly stuff before hitting the campsite and dress again after I leave the camping area.

There are a few car shows that I dress for and once a year I go to a show 4 hours away that I will dress for and spend the night and the whole two days dressed.

Suzi Q

[Kris Burton]

Maybe monthly, but I'm much more driven by opportunity rather than the calendar.

[MonikaCD]

If you count the times when I go out and do not interact with anyone - pump gas, go to ATM, go to parcel machine - then I would say 3-4 times a month.
However if you count the times when someone can see me, talk to me etc. then I have got only two business trips so far - both during last two months and both lasting 2-3 days when I was presenting as a woman as often as I could apart from times when I had to do the job.

[Debs]

twice a month, I go out for two days and stay out overnight, shopping during the day and pub/clubbing at night,leave the house em femme, no male clothes with me.

[Taylor Dame]

I get the opportunity to go out dressed only about 7-8 times a year. Our daughter and children have moved back home with us.

[Susan_Michaela]

Since January 1st of 2023 I started 24/7 and couldn?t go back to male mode if I wanted. I don?t have any male clothes in my house period anymore. If I could make a wish it would be for everyone to fulfill their dreams and desires without any remorse or regrets. Coming up soon on my 1 year anniversary. I?m 71 anyway it was time and not going to waste what?s left of my life. My mother,lived to be 82 and step sister and step brother are both 84 and 85 so I?m hoping I get at least 10 more years.

[NjJamie]

I try for at least once per month but have to work around schedules at home. For me, it's 100% or not at all, so working out the details is what often limits my activity.

[Diane P]

Question How Often Do You Present Yourself as a Woman in Public?

At least once a month when I can go over to OKC for the girls night out. Sometimes more often if I'm going out to take pictures to post on here.

[kimdl93]

There are days when I never leave the house, but most of the time I present as a woman when I go out in the community where I live,

[Sherry Ann Evans]

Every couple of months. I'd like to go more, but that pesky real life gets in the way.

[Christie ann]

It’s so sporadic. Maybe a couple times a year but each time can be about a week long. Other than that maybe an hour here and there. Certainly not enough time to really learn great makeup skills.

[GracieRose]

About twice a week for about 4 hours to go to the other side of town and shop for groceries and run errands. Occasionally I'll stop somewhere for lunch while I'm out.

[lmildcd]

Never. I just CD in my home.

[BaliGirl]

I've never presented in public as a woman. I just CD at home. Even then, I worry that someone will see me dressed through a window.

Not exactly rational - but it is what it is.

[kayegirl]

Generally speaking I present in full female mode, that's hair makeup and body shaping, twice per week, usually Thursday and Friday for about 8 hours each day. I will be out and about doing the weekly shopping etc. I will also use any opportunity that arises for a couple of hours, perhaps without the hair and makeup and staying at home.
Then twice a year I have a long weekend, Thursday through to Monday, away from home and I will be in full female presentation for the whole time.
I should add that I possess no male underwear whatsoever, and I wear a nightdress every single night. So not quite full time, but as much time as my circumstances will allow.

[katejones]

Never have but I do wear feminine clothing alot :)

[StephanieCLT]

For me, it’s when I travel for work, which took a big hit during Covid. Now that I’m back on the road, it’s seeming to be about twice a month.

[Keremy]

How often do I go out as a woman? Never. How often do I go out dressed? About once a month. I go out dressed in dresses, heels, nylons and panties but I have never had a desire to do forms, makeup, wigs ect to pass as a woman. I just like to wear women?s clothing and go outside my house. Now I don?t go down to the local grocery dressed this way I only go to bars that are open to such things.

[Connie D50]

Been out 5 times this year which is about an avg. year

[stefcd1]

Have started going out at least weekly. Dress while at home full time. Would like to transition to being female full time but is not practical.

[alwayshave]

About every other month, so six times a year.

[SaraLin]

In public?
um, let's see,
in the last 20+ years,
I'd say twice.

And those were a violation of the agreement I made with my wife when we married - to never go out in public "looking like that."

[ColleenA]

Until a year ago, I would go out fully dressed only during the few days leading up to Halloween. And then if I got clocked, was ready to fall back on the excuse that "it's a costume."
This year, as I'm getting into my senior years, I finally said, screw it; I'm going out. I've been out nearly 40 times this year. Some of those were just to walk the dog on a trail near the house. Others were outings to Costco, Kohl's, etc. I even wore a pink dress when I saw "Barbie."
It is so liberating, and I haven't had any negative encounters (though I still get a bit panicky when I need to use the ladies' room).

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

4 or 5 times a year and I never dress at home

[michelleddg]

I had 4 windows of 11 days total in 2023. Covid definitely enhanced my ability to go long periods of time without getting gorgeous, but it's never been that frequent as I don't dress when both my wife and I are home.

Hugs, Michelle

[audreyinalbany]

maybe once a month on average. The average goes up when I have the chance for a getaway for a few days, but that only happens once or twice a year

[Cheryl T]

Well we only go out when we need something which is about 2 or 3 times a week.
The rest of the time is spent around the house in fall through spring. Summer is different when we use our boat and then it's more like 4 or 5 times a week depending on the weather.
And yes, it's me they see these days.

[daphne g]

I live in Germany and in February it?s carnival time
That?s in only time I?m allowed out ,so that might be a couple of Saturday nights and along weekend
Which we spend in another town in a hotel and I?ve only got girls stuff with me

[HollyGreene]

It's fairly random for me, but I'd guess on average it's once every 2 weeks.

[Raychel]

I have only been out dress about 4 times.
I do dress several times a week, But never step out the door.
I certainly do not pass in any way.

[docrobbysherry]

Number one, CDing is NOT presenting as a woman! :straightface:
I go out CDing quite often!:)

That is called passing and I've only done that a few times at Halloween when we're allowed to wear masks!:battingeyelashes:

[Vintage4sarah]

Except for the Covid drought, I usually try to go out once a month to meet with Tgirl friends, venture out on a lunch date or go shopping on my own. What I love the most are those wonderful trips out for events like Tranny Week in Provincetown, First Event and random overnight trips based around special happenings. This usually happens at least three times a year. These involve as much as three days fully enfemme and I love these adventures.

[SavannahVee]

I shoot for once a month, but usually fall a little short of that mark.

[Genifer Teal]

I answered this but I don't see it. I guess I missed the button to post. as I like to say, "I'm m not working girl" that's about it. most of the rest of the time I'm girly. It's not like I'm even hiding it at work. I just don't throw it in people's face. Jeans and work boots are requirement so there's Not a lot of options for clothing. I don't do the rough work but the requirement is still there.
People that don't know me get confused. It is what it is.
I get mamm'd when I'm not trying and sir'd when I am which makes no sense. As far as fancy dress applications those are fewer.
I could go out once a week or less depending on the occasions or time of year.

[Vale]

Never. I?m a home girl, by choice and by agreement. . . . Vale

[Michaela Jane]

Once. It was a few years back and the opportunity has not come available since, that was full femme in skirt & wig.

Femme without a wig is another matter, I do that every time I go out, I pass as a guy anywhere but still wearing femme clothes.

[Stephanie47]

The last time I went out totally en femme was the New Years' Eve just before Covid hit. My wife was baby-sitting our grandchild overnight at our daughter's apartment. I went for a drive and stroll in my favorite residential neighborhood that has a lot of small shops and restaurants. My wife made the offer to watch of grandchild at her apartment this coming New Years. Hopefully, daughter and SIL will take my wife up on the offer.

[countrygirl]

Depends, Sometimes once or twice a month sometimes less. Depending on strong the urge to be Amanda is.

[Melinda Jean]

Ummm... Never! I would get clocked from 10 miles out! As I live in a small town, it's simply not an option!

[CDSophie62]

I get out dressed most months.

Mainly that?s to visit a small support group (Surrey Swans) near
where I live but have also been out dressed to a church quiz
(in a mixed team of 5 crossdressers and two priests) and to see Rocky Horror show at a local theatre(Woking in Surrey)

Sophie

[Bruce64]

Me never, I am not a Woman

[ShelbyDawn]

How often do I go out fully dressed, trying to pass? Only once. It was not the magical wonderful experience some others have described. ;(
How often do I go our under of partly dressed in clothes specifically designed for women, every day.

[Karren H]

I used to, a lot, numerous times a month. Up to a week at a time. For almost 15 years. But then I retired and my outings have fallen drastically, approaching zero. Kind of depressing but really it is ok. Do not know wether I am more depressed about not getting out or get old! Lol. I did way more than I ever thought I would and I am happy for the times out and about.

[GraceH]

I go out dressed a few times a month, probably about once a week on average. If I have regular errands to run that don't involve interacting with anyone I know, I often put on a dress, etc., and go about my business. Some weeks I stay dressed for days on end, other weeks, I don't dress at all.

[Brenda Freeman]

I average 2 times a month meeting friends and I have also gone to Tgirl events 2 times a year staying up to a week at each. I really love getting away and enjoying girl time for week with other like minded girls.

[Tina Davis]

Once or twice a year. I do wish I could do more, but circumstances are such that it isn't possible at this time.

[OrdinaryAverageGuy]

Go out as a woman? Never. I'm a guy and nothing can change that, and it would take a team of Hollywood experts to make me look like a woman.
Go out CDing to some degree? Quite often, although a number would be difficult without guidelines on what counts and what doesn't.

[Kandi Robbins]

All the time! Well over a hundred times annually. I am a serial volunteer in the Cleveland area, well known at many high-end events and will dress for my business when it makes sense. It has allowed me to establish profitable business relationships that I would not have otherwise. I am a bridal model for a wonderful boutique located in the heart of Cleveland, model coordinator for a high-end boutique at area fashion shows, have walked the runway myself as a model and acted in quite a few movies. My big screen debut, in actual theaters, is coming up this February.

I also get a few annual stretches of full timing it at Keystone and Erie and I work for two weeks as seasonal staff for the fantastic Cleveland International Film Festival. I am the hostess for a blog with worldwide readership: https://kandis-land.com/. This is so very, very different for each and every one of us here. CD.com was the springboard to my ability to navigate the world as Kandi.

You did ask.....

[Natalie5004]

Well, Maybe once a month I will leave to do something fun.

[Zoeytgtx]

I usually get five 24/7 girl days once a month.

Hugs, Zoey

[jacques]

hello Teresa,
I don't try to present as a woman; I just enjoy wearing the clothes,
luv J

[rachellegsep]

Twice in the real world with cd friends at accepting multi gender venues in other towns and 4 times at fancy dress parties.

[Sometimes Steffi]

All the time! Well over a hundred times annually.

Kandi: You're really living the dream, but based on what you said, I may be able to follow you on some of your dreams. They don't seem impossible, even for me.

[Ressie]

Although I haven't gone out solo very much, going out with CD friends has increased over the last couple of years. About once a month this year.

[Jane G]

I haven't been out dressed for decades now. Back when I was out in the field I would drive dressed and occasionally walk. I could never pass, due to my physical size, so there was never any chance of wide exceptance presenting as female. That took the fun out of it? So I moved firmly into the closet where my own eyes see what they need to see, without fear of contradiction.

[Michelle Crossfire]

Lately, i get out between 2-5 times a month, depending on my work schedule. When i dress, it is with the intention of going out, either shopping or just out to the stores and look about. Sometimes, it is with my wife, whom i have mentioned several times here as being awesome. Usually try to go to Keystone every March, and i have a a friend who is trying to get me to go to Detroit Invasion, which i last did in 2016.

[Lacey New]

Never. Even underdressed and going into a women?s clothing store and enjoying tryin on and buying a dress for myself, I was nothing more than a man in a dress. And other than in the store, never went outside wearing women?s outerwear.

[Elizabeth Marie]

At least one day every weekend, usually more. I work 4 ten hour days every week (Tuesday - Friday one week, Monday - Thursday the next) So I get 4-day weekends every other week. I am not out at work, but I spend most of my non-work time as a woman. I do all my errands on weekends as a woman.

[Elizabeth G]

About twice per month - not nearly as often as I would like but much more than it used to be!

[JocelynJames]

I wish I had a concrete answer. The first time was 2015, second was 2022, and third time was September of this year??so rarely I guess

[rachelatshop]

Rachel does not go out in public, LET, but I do underdress, and have gone out fully dressed in girls clothes, but with no make up or wig and I was wearing a loose winter coat, girls jeans and woman's loafers.

[Brenda Locke]

Normally I Dress and Present Twice a Month. That all Depends On My Work, and what is Going On.

Hugs Brenda

[JANINE500]

Never!...I've not yet plucked up the courage!
Although I myself think I look 100% female, and think that I look more feminine and more sexy than many women, I'm still not confident that others would think the same!
I'm lucky in a way that my body shape, size and build , facial characteristics, arms, hands, legs , feet, etc are very feminine/female...so one day, I'm determined to take the plunge!
My voice , though, is a stumbling block, as it is very deep and masculine, and difficult ( well, impossible!) to change.

[CeCe]

I went out en femme only once in my life, to a Halloween parade in 2016,

[Andrea Renea]

I dress in female attire and go out 3 to 5 times a week.

Grocery shop, gas station, walk at the Mall, look through the racks at Ross, TJ Max, Burlington outlet, etc.

I've never had an issue.

[Leah87]

Never!

However, I sometimes look in the mirror and think, with a touch of make up (which I've never used), I could go out and be very convincing as I seem to have one or two natural curves in the right places (right for a woman; not so right for a man), and my body size is bordering on petite, but I'm just scared that the reality would be so much different.

Maybe, one day.

[DanielleDubois]

Absolutely zero and for me it will comfortably remain that way. I know how important it is for many crossdressers for many different reasons to present as a woman in public. In my personal situation it is something that has never interested me although I have been encouraged by others to be out and about as Danielle. I would consider going to a crossdressing event such as Keystone but that would be to meet other crossdressers in person and not to be out in public per se.

[Sandrajiggle]

I've been out a few times at night. Usually after a long time dressing and changing outfits. Trying to get comfortable with the look.
I've read about and know that feeling, is it terror or elation holding the lock on the door.
Twisting the catch with such care, holding the door in it's frame so firmly.
The door gasping in it's frame as at last it is free.
The breeze! An inch wide and 6 foot tall waft of cool air refreshing my face, and a delicious chill touching the exposed nylon layer upon my legs.
Ears pricked, not a sound is heard nearby although the distant rumble of real life is ever present.
I'm on the step, outside.
Holding the door , last check. I've got a house key.
The door firmly closed I start to walk.
Suddenly it's not feeling like such a good idea.
Shouldn't have worn heels for the first trip out. So noisy and really need to practice. So that's taking away any comfort. I need to get away from any neighbours so uncomfortable tiptoe till I'm around the corner.
I stop and look around. Listening. It feels like I am completely alone. Still so very conscious of my predicament.
I walk and try to enjoy the feeling of my skirt, the jiggle of my boobs, hair in my face oh that list is endless.
But I can't relax. It's highly stressful.
Somehow I end up back at my front door.
Safety indoors I'm shaking. Relieved.

Still so much to unpack. I love dressing up but didn't enjoy that stress.
I've been back outside, very exciting a little dangerous. I don't like the danger though I just want to find that peace I see on those girls that get out regularly and share their pictures on Flickr.

[Geena75]

The last couple of years I have a "Geena Season" from late October through February. During that time I try to get fully dressed and head out about once a week. That's when I'm all shaved and looking really fem. The rest of the year, I might dress up and don the mask and get out once every two or three months (when I really feel the need).

[HollyGreene]

On average, about twice per month, but it's not as regular as that. It could be four or five times in one month, and none the next.
I'd love to make it more often, but it's all down to when the opportunity arises.

[abby054]

A half dozen times a year. I schedule business trips with Abby time in March, June, and October. I escape the winter gloom for a week with Abby time in January. I have been finding an Octoberfest, which in my world occurs in September, somewhere for several years now.

[April Rose]

Only a few times this year, but one of those times was for a week straight.

[SometimesNatalie]

Averaged out, once a month. I don't do it in the summer and am mostly active in fall and winter.

[kimdl93]

I live a significant part of my life presenting as a woman, so I am out in public a couple times each week. That may vary depending on what else is going on in my life.

[CeCe]

Absolutely never. I dress only for myself, at home and alone.

[Valerie Louise]

Once or twice a month Val goes shopping at Nordstrom, dinner and dancing with the girls. My most favorite time.

[Deborah G]

Once or twice a month typically, usually for shopping. I hope to do a little more starting this year as times a wasting!

[Glenda58]

about 4 or 5 times a year use to be more but i got married

[ReallyLauren]

Lately for me it has been 3-5 times per week.....and it's not enough. I'm starting to run out of clothes!

[MsEva]

Rarely these days if you don't count partially dressing. I very often wean foundations, mom jeans and cute top to walk my dog in the neighborhood. I have dressed and presented a half a dozen times travelling to visit my parents in PA from VA over the years. I have gone out for drives many times en femme when it seems totally safe. Daytime and night time usually when my dear wife is away visiting her sister. But overall I am pretty content to dress several times during each week to do house chores and the like.

[cosmolovesph]

QUESTION:
How often do you present yourself in public fully dressed as a woman?

MY ANSWER IS:
Several times a year, including a planned trip to the movies tomorrow... would do more often, but we live in a very hot place in the summer.

[Camille15]

Once a year, twice if I?m lucky.

[suddenly_CD]

Been dressing for six years. The furthest I've been out is into the garden, in the dark on a warm summer's night for whimsy (and a glass of Pinot). Other than that I have never been out in public. Never wanted to and never will.

[Sabine7]

I do not try to present myself as a woman in public at all. If I had been found in public dressed like a woman, my private life would have been ruined. Family, neighbors should not know.
However, I used to walk out into the garden or to sit on a terrace for a while from time to time. I can't refuse that to myself.

[LaSirenaBella]

I'm usually out and about at least once a week, usually one to three times a week.

[Lacey New]

Never have gone out trying to preset as a woman. I have gone plenty of places and been out hundreds of times underdressed but never wearing women?s outerwear. I save that for my private moments at home alone.

[stefcd1]

I have recently met a gal (GG) who desires me to live full-time as a woman with her. Wants to slowly transform me into a very feminine female. This is a huge step and I am not 100% sure this is something that I want to cross over into as once I enter through that door living as a woman, will probably never go back. All this being said, my time as presenting as female may soon greatly increase!!

[joanna4]

3 times a week, how my weekends are spent

[Mary Loo]

Another answer of never, for me. Not sure I will ever, but I enjoy reading about others on here.

Sounds fun, but a strong fear of being outed and the consternation it would cause my wife are big factors to prevent it.

My frequency of dressing at home has varied over the last nearly 2 years since I actually started dressing with my own clothes and added forms and wigs and shoes and very very rarely, makeup.

At best there have been a couple weeks where I had 5 days in the week, for a brief while it was 2 days a week, but lately closer to once or twice a month. All about opportunities and trying not not upset my wife.

Great thread. I enjoyed reading all the diverse responses.

[JuliannaS]

About 2 times a month, alone.

[Jennaristow]

Lucky you. I wish I could find a woman like that.

[Georgina]

Never out in public but that should change next month. I have had visitors in my house with me fully dressed and visited others while dressed.

[OrdinaryAverageGuy]

stefcd1 Wow! That would be exciting and terrifying all at once!! Good luck and hope you let us know what you decide!

[Melody Rich]

I don't present as a woman at all. I know that I will never pass. I present as a feminine man who wears typical women's clothing and would rather be a woman.

[Phoebe Reece]

On average I present as Phoebe around 4 full days every month. If I go to the trouble of dressing femme, I am going to be going out doing something. It may be lunch or dinner with my friends or it may be running various errands. I may be getting the oil changed in my car, going to see a movie, or any number of things that an ordinary woman would do. For many years before I retired I lived and worked in a place where going out in public dressed was simply not an option. Since I retired nearly 20 years ago all that changed. I was tired of being all dressed up with no place to go. Now I only dress if I am going to do something in public. I usually stay dressed for the rest of the day after returning home, but I will have had my time out and about first. I could dress more often if I wanted to, but I choose not to. I simply don't have a need to dress more often than I do. When it stops being fun, I'll probably quit doing it.

[HelpMe,Rhonda]

Almost all the time, the question is more how well do I do it? Pretty much only wear the old pre-egg crack clothes to mow the lawn or shovel snow.

[Sometimes Steffi]

stefcd1 Wow! That would be exciting and terrifying all at once!! Good luck and hope you let us know what you decide!

Stefcd1

It would indeed be both exciting and terrifying at the same. While it would fulfill the impossible dream, I would probably decide that it's more terrifying than exciting. Both I really hope that you get to fulfill my dream.

[jjjjohanne]

Recently, once or twice per month, I present male and wear skirts or dresses.

At my peak, I may have gone out four times per month, when I was working outside of the house and became brave/stupid enough to try dressing near work.

Never with anyone who knows or loves me.

If I could do it as much as I want, I think that I would probably max out at 2-3 days per week. Yet, who knows? If I had complete freedom, I might settle down to something similar to what I enjoy now. I'm still me, with or without freedom. (shrug)

[Claire_with_a_twist]

The wife and I go out at least 1-2 a week. She protects me and usually speaks for me. She is awesome. We have a few places we go where we know that its not a big deal. She makes sure I don't look dumb going out and protects me from dressing bad too.

[stefcd1]

An update ladies. It was a total scam!!! After some time, tried to work it around to send her money and when that didn't work, can she send money to my bank so she can pay her "suppliers" with her company on the job she had. Yeah, right. Attempt to get electronically into my bank. Didn't and would never work with me. Be careful out there my friends! There are all types trying to play on our desires for companionship and the loneliness of our hearts.

[cosmolovesph]

QUESTION:
How often do you present yourself in public fully dressed as a woman?

3-6 times a year (fully dressed)

**- underdressed/shorts and sheer tights (much more often until the weather gets too warm) **

[prene]

i would like to do 2 -3 times a week but I bet it is only that a month.

I always underdress though or wear something feminine

[Connie D50]

I go out dressed about 6 times a year. I do also fully dress and spend a night at home with my wife about another 6 times a year.

It's been a few years since I strutted my stuff in public....once upon a time it was many times a year but the days of me attracting the male species as the woman I longed to be is long gone I'm afraid.

Never have, never will. I dress fully (underwear, clothes, wig, forms, heels and some makeup) almost daily with the consent and acceptance of my lovely wife but do not 'present' as a woman i.e. I don't have a femme name or mannerisms. I just like the clothes and the process of getting dressed up. Once that's done, I'm just me in a dress :) besides which, if I went out dressed where I live, it would not end well!

[Alisonforme]

About once every year, and always in a place where other CD's are meeting.

[JohnH]

The only time I don't present myself like a woman is when sometimes I wear a man's coat, tie, and trousers on Sunday morning. I have hair longer than shoulder length and a bust. My voice however, is anything but feminine as my singing voice is bass.
The great majority of time I wear dresses and painted fingernails. That includes shopping, church, and doctor appointments. For formal occasions when I am dressed en femme which is most of the time, I also include heels and makeup.

About 6 or 7 times a year, working on getting out a little more often.

[Robin777]

I have never been out of the house presenting as a woman. That was the agreement I had with my late wife.

Robin,

Take small steps outside, it opens up the world for you.....get a bra fitting at a lingerie store..they love us....

Somehow I seem to have missed this thread. :(

I'm out perhaps 8 times a year. They all coincide with meetings of the local CD group I belong to. They have monthly meetings but some months I just can't make it because of travel and other scheduling conflicts. I enjoy every time I get out!!!

Robin,
I have gotten virtually no pushback for presenting like a woman.

[Katherine L.]

Never. I have only been fully dressed four times, each during a private makeover.

[JocelynJames]

3x ever so, not too often. Nothing dramatic or traumatic happened, I just don?t do it that often. Maybe someday when I?m not working a 50 hr week

[Ressie]

once or twice a month

[Kitty S]

I have not been out in public but do dress daily in makeup, forms, bra, panties and women's clothes. I haven't really had a desire to go out in public, not sure why but I am happy in the home being a housewife and taking care of the property.

[Melani65]

I'm getting out about once a week right now. Would like to go out more but for now that's all I can manage.
