Being read by tenage girls

[Courtney A Anderson]

Tonight I got all dressed up and went out shopping. Got home from work early.:happy: At the first store the sales girls went out of there way just to say hi, and to see if I needed any help. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
At the second store, the sales people were also great. But, some teen girls(3 of them). Were talking very loud and I herd one say "look over there It's a crossdresser." then they started to follow me around the store with constent giggeling. how embearesing .:sad: Has anyone else had this problem, and what's a girl to do..

[Phoebe Reece]

Usually they go away if you just smile at them and give a friendly wave. They normally hang around only as long as they think it is bothering you. I know it can be intimidating if you haven't been out very much. I look on it as an opportunity to educate. I enjoy talking with them when given the opportunity.

[Theresa(TGirl)]

Just look and wave, a lot of times trying to ignore that type of annoyance is hard, and leads to greater annoyances from them.

[Joy Carter]

Turn around and start following them. You just might turn the tables on them. :D

Teenage girls are great for crossdressers they help us develop character. Crossdressers should seek out teenage girls, if we can get past the teeny bopper gauntlet we can survive most everything.

[Cyndie]

Yes, it happen at dinner one night. They all had to find someone to show . A bit of pointing and giggling. They got tired and went away. I've been out much, but that was the only negative experience that I have had.

Charollette has it spot on. Try to join them and they will dash.

Teenage girls. Ya I avoid them. They can always pick you out in a crowd. They are harmless but, they do get very curious. Like all the other ladies said, Smile and wave.

[Lindsay Marie]

There's a girl at my salon who's only 18 and oddly enough she isn't like that, in fact she is a very nice girl. I let her do my pedicure last time and she was very professional and quite fun too. She recomended a nice glitter polish to me for my toes and even gave me a nice tip on where to find some hot larger sized shoes that I hadn't thought of. I usually have the opposite experience as everyone else and this time it was a positive one.

[Deidra Cowen]

I had problems in the past, but on my last time that I ran into some teenage girls at a convience store I just smiled at them with almost a smug attitude. :heehee: Made eye contact and then walked right past them to get to the checkout. They did not react at all, besides making way for me. :devil:

It was one of those nights where I totally was happy with my outfit and how my makeup, wig, all that turned out so I was probably more confident than usual.

[linnea]

I have avoided them, but I appreciate the advice that I've read in this post. I think that the smile and wave are what I'll try next time I have the problem. Then I think that it will be the question about clothes. Overall, they are harmless but annoying.

[Juju GG]

Maybe you could have asked them help you pick an outfit out or asked them what they thought of one that you could have picked out. If I had seen a CD (if I had realised) while I was a teenager I wouldn't have made fun of them in any way. Good on you for going out in public!:happy:

[Kate Simmons]

It's probably about their own insecurities. I mean, if a guy can look THAT good, they are probably wondering what they are doing wrong. I'd welcome a confrontation. I'd really have some fun with this thing.:happy: Ericka/Rich

Not that thier all bad, It,s just these 3 girls realy got to me, it hurt. I cut my shopping trip short,and went home early. Hopefully this wont stop me from going out in the future. And thanks agin for all the words of support.

[goofus]

I don't know, I think they were just being, well, teenage girls. Think back to when you were a teen; would you have behaved much differently? They're immature, stuff like that is to be expected from teens, male or female :2c:

[Joni Beauman]

I always thought teen girls had special perceptive qualities that no others had; a sort of secret view past the presentation. You mean everyone reads me and they are just more mature about it? I thought it was just the girls! Sigh...Joni

[JenniferMint]

I've heard that teenage girls tend to be more aware of the presence of males around them, as a defense mechanism.

[Bridget]

I don't know. I spend practically most of my time on campus and in town around them, and I don't feel they have any special extra-sensory-crossdressing-sniffing abilities.

[janedoe311]

I kind of think that teen girls are a transition between child and adult like a caterpillar or pupa. They seem to be in a different world and a different Species. I have too girls one 4 and one 8. Even my 8 year old sees teen girls as a different species.

Am not looking forward to them becoming this transition species.

[Kimberley]

Invite them to a makeup party? Lingerie party? Clothing party? Oh and make sure you have as many transpeople as you can find there. The teens could probably use the makeup and dressing tips.

I've told this story before, long time back. I had to do a photo shoot and needed to get a garter belt for it. So I called my fav lingerie store, told the manager what I needed, sizes colour the whole bit. She came back and said she had just what I needed and in fact could take my choice of 2 different styles. I told her to put them aside and I would be there in a couple of hours.

So, in I go and she (the manager) is busy so I wait. Meantime I am getting the "Ewwww he's one of those!" looks from the teen shopgirl. So, I start playing her (too easy). What do you think of this?, How about that? all the while dragging her around the store. I am giggling because I could see the manager fighting the urge to laugh. I was really playing this one to the hilt. Gee Richard Simmons would have been proud of me. So in the end we get back to the counter and the manager gets the goods, I make the selection and she tells the shopgirl to wrap it and ring it up. So now I let this kid in on the fact that I am a photographer and this is for a photo shoot. Then in the next breath invite her to do a lingerie or nude shoot for free... I thought she was going to die.

Ahhhhh retribution.

Oh and yes the manager suspects I am a dresser but we have never actually discussed it. Really doesnt matter anyway.

Hugs.... K

I think teenage girls are great , I just give them a cute smile and wave
some may giggle , but most just ask me what school do you go too :eek:
thier great source of fashion tips I know a few where I live .....

[tekla west]

The only real bad thing about teenage girls is that the best ones are illeagal. Most are nice, and unlike thier moms - no baggage. Ahh youth.


And the best defense is a good offense. These girls are hyper sensitive, about their weight and looks in particular, if that doesn't work, accuse them of having sex with thier dad. That will always get rid of them.

[janedoe311]

I've heard that teenage girls tend to be more aware of the presence of males around them, as a defense mechanism.


Probally they are more sensitive to male pheromones, good thing to many preditors out there.

[Jasmine Ellis]

do what the other girls say look, wave, smile. you did the hard work going into the shop dressed good for you

[EricaCD]

Just remember that most of them are even less comfortable with their fem selves than you are. They are teenagers. I would not go back and re-live those years for Bill Gates' fortune, and I had it comparatively easy as a boy.

Don't be shy about letting them know you are in on the joke. Don't shy away or be self-conscious, and you will be just fine!

I was embarrassed. Yesterday. I was trying on several dresses in fitting room at my favorite thrift store, where they know me. Boldly came out to look in the bigger mirror. A mature woman holding some clothes to try on, headed for my fitting booth. I cut her off, and she said, "Are all the fitting rooms full?" I answered, in a male voice, "Afraid so." As I went into the room I looked back and saw her stick her finger in her mouth and make gagging noises. A minute later I wanted to make sure I had seen what she actually did and came out and said, "You don't like this?" "Not at all! Ewww!" Later I was talking the cashier and she said, "We don't mind if you shop here. But talk to us--not to the customers. That lady left in a huff."
I felt so bad for the rest of the day.

Maybe she wouldn't have acted that way if you hadn't have cut her off?? :2c:

I suspect it's usually younger teenage girls---13-16 years old hanging around the mall in groups that are a problem----alone they don't have the courage to say anything and even in groups it's usually point and giggle if anything---My advice is to approach them and say---"Excuse Me, did you say something to Me?" in a loud voice--then watch them slink off.

[julie w]

teenage girls are catty to other teenage girls its not just us, if you are new
to going out your more sensitive to their commments or other peoples comments , I think if you have thick skin and dont care what people think you will have more enjoyable outtings

[Dena]

One of my first trips out in femme was to a walmart. 3 teen age girls
were behind me when I entered the store, and I briefly held the door
open for them before I realized what I was doing! They were quiet, and
discreetly followed me around. I wish I would've talked with them,
something friendly to see what they thought.

No one needs any special perception to recognize me as male, as I'm
confident is the case with most of us here (I'm 5' 13" tall and 200#).
When this happened I wasn't looking horrible, but still had not discovered
what colors of clothing and make-up looked best on me.

[sparks]

It's the teen boys I mostly worry about. I always shop in drab so I stick out like sore thumb in the lingerie department. The girls giggle the older boys get defensive then maybe offensive. Looking at bras threaten the machoisms of all males in the area. Some feel the only alternative is get in your face about it.

[MsJanessa]

Maybe she wouldn't have acted that way if you hadn't have cut her off?? :2c:

I agree---If you hadn't "cut her off" then probably nothing would have been said nor anything happened---I find when I act like a lady people treat Me like one---when I act like a B#@%h, then I get one of two reactions---either they back down and run away or they get mad and want a confrontation---to avoid confrontations don't start them, particularly by "cutting off"(your phrase, not mine) an old lady in the dressing room. Next time just smile sweetly and let her have the room.

[Calliope]

It might be helpful to remember that, biologically and emotionally, teen girls are going through upheavals we can never hope to comprehend.

If you're not ready to be read, you're not ready to go out.

Teenage girls are great for crossdressers they help us develop character. Crossdressers should seek out teenage girls, if we can get past the teeny bopper gauntlet we can survive most everything.

After you conquered that, you can face the hundreds of elementary school children on a field trip to the museum you are visiting.

Teenagers, I smile, maybe wave, and might even giggle back. Lots of times it's because they really do think I'm cute.
