How many of us go out "dressed" in public with our wives or girlfriends??

[Megan70]

Curious to know with the myriad of acceptance and non-acceptance level of all of us out there.
Now I wonder how many who ARE passable, wife agrees with that to tag along etc, goes out with them as two girlfriends in public.

I've been doing it with my wife now since 1972. We go to movies, museums, ethic restaurants and definetly mall shopping. I stay a distance back from her shopping at the mall or we split up and arrange where to meet...(more so now since she is disabled and in an electric wheelchair. That in itself draws attention ) ....this is so should we run into someone who knows both of us. Hasn't happed yet, but she did have 2 different people come up to her that she did or used to work with with.
Both times were either in a restaurant or mall food court. I just sat queitly as she introduced "Megan" and nodded my head.

Like to hear all your true life stories of interest out there. Where do you go? What do you do together as "girlfriends" out???
:daydreaming:

My wife and I have been out in public worldwide since 1981. This morning we presented to a university class educating them about transgendered persons. November 29 we will join some of our other transgendered friends and their significant others as we sail among 2500 other passengers from Barcelona to Galveston/Houston - 15 marvelous days and nights of being enfemme. Now I have to decide what to pack. Life is so great especially with a loving wife who accepts me no matter what I am wearing.

i have many female friends that i go out with. but none that i can say are boyfriend / girlfriend or in my case girlfriend /girlfriend.
we tend to just hit the mall do lunch ,window shop for us it's the social thing the movies ain't cheep it's better to rent a movie and have a quite time home.

[avril findlay]

I have an outing usually once a month (occasionally more) with my elder sister and a GGfriend, shopping, for a drink, or a meal.
This weekend I'm staying at my sisters. It's great being able to spend some "girl time" with other women.

[Laura C]

Hi This week I have been out with my gf 3 times. We have gone shopping and to lunch. We also went to the casino last nite. We have been going out together with me enfemm now for 3 years. Last week was a first for me when I picked her up from a meeting enfemm and she came out with another couple. She introduced me and we all went to lunch together. Now that was different.

[Sandra Dunn]

Whom ever I'm with we go togehter and if we run into someone we know we handle it as the situation dictates, I am introduced as Sandra and we take it from there. So far no problems. I do try to get out as much as I can. Today I was in the Veterans parade as me the bellydancer(female).

HUGS Sandra

[bridget thronton]

My wife is very kind and does go out with me dressed when we are away from our home town

[Lilith Moon]

We go out together every few weeks, usually to TG friendly events and we will often walk together from a hotel to the event with me en-femme. We are both a bit nervous on these walks but it gets easier each time.

[Lora Olivia]

From the first time I was out the door she has been with me. Fact of the matter is she gives me the confidence. We go anyplace that 2 girlfriends would go together ie. shopping, lunch, movies, casino etc.

[Kristen Kelly]

My ex GF would go out with me often and the girls would love to have an accepting GG around. When I first told her she was accepting but as time went on I let it take me to a place where she could no longer be comfortable with how I looked growing out my hair and my new found confidence that I could go anywhere, my friends know about Kristen as well as her family now.
I am now dating and have put my profile on a dating site as Kristen http://www.plentyoffish.com/member9272377.htm and have met some accepting GGs as friends and gone out to alot of different places but only as friends, I know in time I will meet the right person out there for me.

[debbeelee1]

My 8 times or so out and about have all been with my wife and sometimes a FTM friend and his GF. We've only been to GLBT friendly type bars, but have had a great time for the most part!

[Magickman]

Dressing up for me is skirt, tights, heels, turtleneck or henley shirt, acrylic manicure, and earrings. Short hair, no wig or makeup, except lip gloss.

No wife, but I socialize and date in public while dressed. On dates and out at dance events, I am dressed, and if my date doesn't like it, she knows where to find the exit door.

Some women do not like my style, but that is not a problem for me, because they do not stick around.

I dress for my own pleasure and amusement, and rarely does anyone take issue with it.

Last night at Karaoke, a married gal told me I could not attract women while dressed. Not her, it seemed, anyway.

Otherwise, I meet women while I am dressed, and most do not seem to have serious issues with it.

Curiously, I have better luck with women while dressed up, than I do in ordinary male wardrobe. In drab, I am shy and retiring, not outgoing. Dressed up, I am the life of the party.

Go figure.

[BeckiB]

My wife and I have been out countless times together. Actually I have only gone out once without her. We do all the stuff a drab couple would do, go out to dinner, shopping, sightseeing.

[Rachel Morley]

My wife Marla and I go everywhere together. In fact, it's her who is always pushing me to go out on my own sometimes, like to run everyday errands, like going to the grocery store, go to the post office and whatnot ... all when en femme of course.

I do go out doing these sorts of things nowadays but 95% of the time we always go out together as two girlfriends, and always when we are socializing with our friends. All the people we like to spend time with are either in the community or are not in the community but are friends with my wife and they already know about me and seem to treat me as if I was a woman. :)

[Jonianne]

My wife is the one who got me to go out in the first place. She said "Joni needs to feel the sun on her face". Our neatest time out together was last spring when she and I went to Niagra Falls and I got to spend a day there dressed and a day traveling on the Amtrak dressed.

[jillleanne]

My gg and I go out regularly together everywhere except her parents house.lol From the day she accepted me we have gone out together. She will not however, let me wear extremely short skirts which I love but in reality, she is right to put her foot down.

[Bekka]

My wife and I have been out countless times together. Actually I have only gone out once without her. We do all the stuff a drab couple would do, go out to dinner, shopping, sightseeing.

I too have only been out once on my own, but my girlfriend and I go to TG events about twice a month. My girlfriend is always suggesting many places to go but I only seem to have the confidence for TG friendly events.

[tamarav]

My wife and I go out fairly often. Many times she will show up at my work as I am getting out and we go to dinner or a movie. When she is out with me dressed she actually seems to be sillier...

[KimberlyS]

My wife has been going out and about with me about 4 years or so. She decided to give it a try mostly because I needed to get out and about again. We picked a large metro area far from home and those people we knew. We have been out over a dozen times. She has done it, and her comfort factor with me being out enfemme has grown and her comfort factor has increased. But it is not her thing and she does it for me and to be able to spend time together. So I do not push it on her. I mostly just get out by myself and some times with other TG friends. I let her know when I get out and sometimes it is at her suggestion. While I would like her involvement more, I do not see it being much more. It is my thing. Kind of like guys night bowling except mine is guys night enfemme shopping or doing other things.

[ReineD]

My gg and I go out regularly together everywhere except her parents house.lol From the day she accepted me we have gone out together. She will not however, let me wear extremely short skirts which I love but in reality, she is right to put her foot down.

Same with us. Actually the problem was with a tight sweater dress! :) But I did stop feeling threatened by it eventually. :heehee:

Oh, and we go out everywhere too, but not in our home town. She goes out on her own as well, of course.

[Miss.Ing Pieces]

My gf is quite accepting of my dressing, But I think a fear of being seen keeps us from actually being in public. the closest I've been to going out is for a drive around the town with her.

And thats about where my comfort level is currently.. need to work on my passing..

[susie evans]

my wife and i have been going out together for years as two girls and it's fun

susie

[Holly]

My wife and I go out together regularly. She's my best friend and I always have more fun with her than without her.

[Ellie]

My GF and I go out as girlfriends every so often... mostly on halloween but some other times

We tend to go to casinos since they have great security and mostly ppl are just watching their cards/machines/etc. Though this halloween I got lots of reactions.

[Tracii G]

I have 1 GG friend that I have been out with enfemme shopping a few times.

[Jennifer Marie P.]

I always go out with my girlfriends like shopping, eating out ,going to the movies and go get a makeover and other girly things.

[Christie ann]

not a chance.

[BlUeDrAgOn]

not a chance.

Same here :o

[Christina Horton]

I hear a lot of you girl and your SOs are afraid to go out in your own towns. I have not gone out with a girl friend yet cuz, I was not ready to go out dressed then. I have not had a girl friend foe 7 years.POOOOOOO. :cry: I tell all my girl friends that I CD and all the ones I have told (the last 6) all loved it and wanted to dress me up and go out. You girl's whom drive to another town, WHY, Is it a small town, You know you friends, boss, coworkers, will see you. Or are you just nerve-viss about what other people will think. If you look at my pic you will see I don't pass but People treat me like a woman. I dress in town I go the the bigest mall hear in BC and I have never even gotten a bad look or comment. I think you all over think it. If you go out in your home town you may find (if) your spotted by people you know that most of the time they will be fine with it,when they see that this is not a joke. If you live in a realiy small town like under 1000 people, It might happen more ,but small town get a bed rap I think, for being bad for CDs. I came from a small town and If I still lived there I would dress out in public more. But that's just me. See I don't care If people for work see me , It's there problem not mine.Well that my :2c: It's all up to you all and your SOs. HUGGS :hugs: :canada:

[Terra_Branford]

I never go out without my wife along. Really, I can't imagine doing it without her.

[Jenny Beth]

I haven't been out in many years but on almost all of my outings my wife came with me. In the beginning we just went for walks but as my confidence grew we found ourselves shopping for clothes, going to restaurants and even a few gay bars that were TG friendly. I don't think I could have done any of it without her. We keep saying it's time for a girl's night out but so far it hasn't happened for all sorts of reasons. If and when we ever do get out again it will be like starting from square one, for one I've got to build my confidence up again and two, my makeup techniques need serious updating.

[Annette_boy]

When my wife was alive we often went out as girlfriends She knew my seceret before we were married I was up front and she was cool to the max with it , We even wore matching nighties on our wedding night she helped my confidence greatly .She passed 4 years ago and is greatly missed and perhaps that is why I went 99% fulltimr about 3 1/2 years ago
Hugs Annette

[Janet Bern]

GF and I go out shopping while I am dressed. Try on and do makeup counters at Macys etc, we have lunch. I plan to go out by myself soon after the new year.

[kim85]

Me and Joanna-Louise have only been out twice once for a walk around the block and another was to meeting with some girls from another site both of them in the past few months. We are hoping to go out more often in the coming months

[Ronni Seymour]

My wife and I go out a lot, shopping, resturants, etc., but we always go out of town. She has been a sweetheart and been very helpful in getting clothes for me and the right look. She's
a good critic!:battingeyelashes:
I'm blessed to have her.

[jan croft]

You are so lucky! I don't think I could ever pass & so would never ask her - though she has suggested it.

[RikkiOfLA]

My wife and I go out with me dressed every day. We have gone all kinds of places--from dates to errands, dressy to casual.

Yesterday we got our hair done together. Our new hairdresser complimented me on my outfit--especially my tights (which she referred to as "sexy stockin's" and nail polish).

A couple of months before we were married she saw me dressed male (the last time I did it). She saw how uncomfortable it made me, and asked me never to do it again. I had no trouble complying. :)

Some of the people who meet us seem to wonder about us, as one might expect. We get asked if we're friends or what. Some people we tell, others we leave guessing. It depends on how close we are to them, and how accepting they seem to be. She has a very good sense of whom to tell. That really helps!

Word seems to have spread around the church we've started attending since we moved. It's the local Episcopal Church. At a recent meeting, our priest (who knows about us) mentioned that he had seen a show on TV about "those transgendered people--seems unusual to me!" No one murmured in agreement! We realized later that was his way of telling us that we are accepted. And indeed we are--everyone is very friendly. We have scheduled our open house/house blesssing for Sunday, January 11. If you'd like to come join us in Palmdale, California, you're invited, as are all our friends and neighbors. We've told one neighbor, but all our neighbors are very accepting.

[Suzy Harrison]

I've been out with the girls from work to the movies, restuarants and shopping. I've also flown with one of them.

I've also been out with my favourite girls from this site: TxKim, MJ, Joann07, Deja, Tracy, Tammi and Dita.

[goofus]

Great stories in this thread! I don't have a girlfriend at the moment, but maybe someday I'll have one that's as accepting as some of your wives/girlfriends are. In the meantime, maybe I can go out with a gg friend or two sometime. I have hung out with gg friends before, but so far only at TG friendly places (i.e. gay bars :) )
