going out?

[Transboy]

hi everyone

i am 22 and live in brum uk,just wondering weather i should pluck up the courage and go out in a skirt/heels and tights without caring,i know i would never pass as a women.
what do you think?

[Amy Hepker]

Are you going to do makeup too, or just going to go out as a guy in girls clothes??? You really should take the time to do it right. Do the best you can and then go for it. You may attract the wrong type of people if you go out without trying to look female.

[Emily Anderson]

No. First spend some time practicing your look, and getting to know some other CD's.

if you live anywhere near moseley give me a shout - i am a bit older than you but believe me i look about 28 - i am pushing so hard to get out now dressed just have to remember i am alpha male - hetro by the way looking to meet girls only !!

[slamddoger]

[Transboy]

Hi shirley


yea dont live too far from there and to all the other girls i wasnt thinking of doing make up but just to go out dressed,i take it make up is best?

[Transboy]

does anyone think that going out in a skirt and heels but with a guys t-shirt and coat on will create problems if i went out after 10pm?

[Michelle S]

It depends on where you are going. Check out any places you hope to visit in male attire first. Would you be able to use the toilet? Also, just as with GG's you probably should not go alone. There are thing guys can do that GG's and M2F's have to be more careful about. If you are planning to drink remember that you are more vulnerable now so you might want to limit your alcohol consumption.

Do you have a wig or longish hair?

Why do you think you won't, with practice, be able to pass?

I go out in public as a boy openly wearing girl's clothes all the time, however I don't do it like that with just a skirt and heels. I dress in girly t-shirts, cardigans and jeans. (yes I do sometimes get people looking at me)

If you want to go out in public (even at night) in a skirt and heels but otherwise present as a boy, that's ok .... but it's a little bit risky (at night). I think it's more "in your face" if you bump into the wrong people, than wearing girly tops and jeans in daylight like I do.

I would recommend that you get some more girls clothes (tops etc) and if you don't have long hair get a wig and apply some foundation to your freshly shaved face. If you apply some eye makeup too , this will help more. You'll be amazed just how feminizing a wig and makeup can be ...especially added to feminine clothes. If you don't plan on getting too close to anyone you should be fine if you're fully dressed.

I'm not going to say don't do it, but I'd say think about what your doing before you do it. Going out in a skirt and heels but otherwise as a guy might get you too much unwanted attention. :2c:

[shirley1]

the problem is being read - if you are straight like me it will totally wreck your head !! i dont want male attention but want female attention - trouble is the places to go gay bars ect you just wont get it !! this lifestyle is certainly better if you are gay or bi - i dont care what anyone says !

That's up to you hun how bad do you want it. :hugs:

I say if something is worth doing, do it right. That means if you are going to present yourself as a female, do the best job you can. If you don't, that is what gives us a bad image in public.

Good adviice.

Perhaps you can try an Andro presentation FIRST, then work up
to a complete Fem presentation.

[tricia_uktv]

Far better to go to a friendly place where you can dress and experiment before going out in the open.

Yup, I do.

You can wear a guy t-shirt and say a denim skirt. Heels could really make you stand out though, but you can if you really want. But.... I recommend NOT going out after dark. Many cd's go out at night, and I'm guessing to reduce the odds of being seen by many people. For safety I recommend a public place in broad daylight. You might get stares and you might not, it's a hit or miss kind of thing.

Hi

Thank you for the advice,i think i shoudnt care what people think and just dress how i feel,i have been out dressed before with no wig or make up after 11pm only to the end of the road and back and it felt good.

i think i should just wear a skirt when i feel like it not sure about high heels.

[Dalece]

Practice at home wearing heels before you go out in them so you get your walk down pat.

[CD Susan]

I would try for the most convincing look that you can achieve. I had a bad experience out at night once so am very careful now. Day light hours are much safer, just choose the location carefully.

Hi there,
I used to live in moseley.. must be something in the water..:D
I would do it bit by bit, like wearing girly clothes with pumps. I would wait until you are confident in your heels before going too far in them! I reckon a visit to a TV friendly club night would be a good place to start.
I like your attitude!

I'll second that..there are several TV friendly venues with changing facilities in the Brum Village area a mile or so from you. Check out Club Nightingale, for example. There's also the Outskirts TV/TG group who meet in the area, they are a *very* friendly and active bunch. Here's some pics, actually rather a lot of pics.

I'm sure you would get a warm welcome there. :hugs:

As long as you know where the chavs are, and know you can avoid them, then wear what you like. It's been done before, even before the Queen.

[KimberlyS]

I have been out as a guy wearing a skirt and other feminine attire and had not problems in larger cities. Pick a safe place to do it and you need a strong self confidence to do it. I would also say you are a great age to do this.

Many CDers will push you to only go out looking like a woman. But my experience is that is is not needed. Yes you will get some looks, but keep it more tame the first times out so you can get others reactions and build up your confidence. Different people will react differently. If you have some friends to go along with you all the better.

[StacyCD]

Some here will never go out while others go out and about at will. Some can pass nearly 100% of the time while others pass 0% of the time. We're all very different. However, before you go out, I would suggest getting to know yourself and your reason for dressing better. I dressed for a lot of years before I became comfortable with myself and my reasons for dressing. Now, I care a whole lot less about being read and enjoy myself a whole lot more--the two go naturally together. But again, what works for me may not work for you! Good luck.

[skirt_guy]

I would never pass but like to wear skirts, panties and bras. I routinely wear panties and hose in public. I wear skirts in public on occasion, only when I muster the courage to take the occasional stare. I've never had anyone say anything to me, however I did get some personal help in WalMart when I couldn't find something and a guy decided he had to see a guy in a skirt.

Pretty harmless provided you go to the right places and can weather the occasional stare.
