Hi everybody!
I guess that I am not the only crossdresser who is employed by the army, but yesterday I was asked how this ungainly combination works for me. I could explain it quite simply by saying that it does not work… -However I will put some more effort into it and explain a little about myself along the way. Hopefully it will be more interesting to others than my self… -I’m quite used to the fact that my crossdressing is incompatible with my professional occupation.
First, I have a lot more experience as a soldier than as a crossdresser. My crossdressing debut was less than a year back whereas I have been serving in the army for more than 12 years. I was worried that somebody here might not take me seriously because I do not go out dressed en femme, but all of the wonderful girls from the threads answered in ways which quickly convinced me otherwise. I don’t go out en femme and I don’t (at this time at least) want anybody to know that I am crossdressing. I do not even feel a great need to wear any female clothing under my everyday clothes. I’m awfully sorry if I am disappointing anyone. I’m not dressed in sexy lingerie under my uniform… -I even feel quite good being male when I’m at work.
However, when I am home and want to dress en femme, I would look awful with all the body hair and I would never survive without having both ears pierced. I would also like to have some really feminine tattoos on my lower legs and my ankles and that is where it starts to become a little problematic. I do not really try to hide the fact that my ears are pierced three times each. I just make sure that nobody ever sees me with anything but surgical steel jewellery like the rings I have in my nipples. That way most of my colleagues are more likely to think that I am just into body art, rather than crossdressing. I have some tattoos that are not feminine and together with the surgical steel rings that helps me avoiding the suspicion of being a crossdresser.
Body hair and feminine tattoos is another story however. I don't have any feminine tattoos, however much I would like to. But I cannot refrain from having my body hair removed. So when I am in the showers with my colleagues, I always have to worry about what they make out of the fact that I do not have any body hair at all. I hope that they are just thinking that I am weird or perverted or something.
The army in which I serve is definitely not the place where I want to be famous for being a crossdresser. It is not because people are cruel to each other or anything. Danes are probably the second friendliest and most tolerant people on this planet, right after the Dutch and ahead of the Swedes (who are hypocrites and will claim that they are way ahead of Danes). But the problem is that Denmark is such a small country (100 by 300 kilometers) and that the army is even smaller (approximately 60.000 employees). The army is a small community where everybody knows each other. That goes especially for the soldiers who are not privates (in the Danish army you can have a great career being a private until you are 60 years old!). I would say that I probably know the face of some 50 % of all officers and NCO’s who have served in the army for the last 10 consecutive years. If anybody were known or suspected of being crossdressers or gay or something like that, everybody in the entire army would know within a week.
I know that there are bankers saleswomen out there who would never dare to have their ears pierced or have visible tattoos like I can in the army. But on the other hand, the army is really a workplace with a distinctively macho atmosphere. Being a crossdresser would probably make a person more notorious than if the same person were a neo Nazi or a Satanist… -Sad but true… -It is NOT because any of the latter are accepted by Danes or Danish soldiers in general. However, being a crossdresser would clash more with the macho image which is still important to all soldiers in all of the armies in the world.
So that is how I think it works for me to be in the army while crossdressing at home… -It don’t… -I feel that my crossdressing have to be a very closely guarded secret and I just hope that I will not eventually be hear stories about myself from another part of the country because remove my body hair.
Finally I just want to mention that I don’t want to whine about my situation. I chose the army myself and I loved every minute of it so far. Nobody is forcing me to stay either and further more I am perfectly aware that there is so many of you out there who have much more limited opportunities for crossdressing than me. At least I can have my ears pierced and I can dress like a bimbo when I’m home alone or with my girlfriend around.
Yawn! What a lengthy and boring post this ended up being… -Glad I started a new thread so I will not be forcing a lot of people to browse through it in anther thread. To those of you who read this far, I hope that it was interesting in some way.
Lots of hugs to all of you!
