Diane. I'm with you regarding skirts. I keep seeing statements on the forum that women don't wear them any more. However, I see them every day at lunch or at the market, even in my rather remote...
I can attest to the fact that wearing a skirt, even with tights and tall boots, in sub-zero weather (plus wind) results in very cold knees.
Definitely, when I go out as Julia, I have the basics to convert back to my male self. My thought process is that if there is a family emergency when I'm 50 miles from home and I won't have time to...
I suspect that I didn't pass today, but I still have a smile on my face. I was out for some shopping, and needed some calories, so I went to McDonalds drivethrough. After I paid I had a flashback to...
Whatever you do in the bathroom at home, discipline yourself when you go out and use a public restroom. I'd suggest sitting to pee at home and going through the girl routine just so can build...
Partial dressing at home (then put on sweats) and fine tune in the car. I love my new truck, but the vanity mirror has a terrible light.
I'm one of those who focus more on blending than passing. In either case, I judge my success in passing/blending in terms of distance. In general I don't draw attention at 20 to 50 feet (except for a...
The irony of all these discussions is that most of the situations that we face aren't covered by any law, for or against. Wearing women's clothing? Nobody can define women's clothing, or men's...
I'll join the chorus who said it was exhilarating but somewhat scary. Stopping to pump gas I could only imagine a carload of good ole boys deciding to harass me. It didn't happen. In fact, nobody...
As they say, clothes don't make the man. Neither do the skirt, wig, or bra size. Be yourself in the way that you feel on a given day or even different times of day. If you can experiment with...
I wouldn't go for long (like shoulder length), but I like something in between that and pixie. So, kind of a full look with the longer sections of hair reaching almost to the collar works for me.
Great post with great advice. Thanks.
One thing about "passable". It's a matter of degree. I've found that heads don't usually turn at 15-20 feet, but when someone is just 5 feet away they know I'm...
I could see this happening at my desk. I admit that when I'm wearing a maxi skirt I do give it a bit of a lift going up and down stairs, particularly with heels. It ain't worth a broken neck.
The lipstick on wine glass: Perfect. It makes me feel like I'm home. I love the sound of my heels too, but they often are accompanied by the thought "don't fall". After all these years I still...
Absolutely, although I wouldn't consider it "trading" men's for women's. Other than my male-cut suits and a few other things, those "men's clothes" aren't that different from what many women wear...
The big difference is in how men and women acknowledge each other on a daily basis. Listen to women in any office, cafeteria, social gathering, etc. They compliment each other on the other's hair,...
Sorry, I can't put a number on it. I see one version of me in the mirror, but I'm not sure what others see.
Not a fan of panty hose. They are a pain in terms of logistics at the waist, like in a bathroom stall. Thigh highs look nice but getting the right fit is tough. They slide down without a garter, even...
Great thread! Thank you for bringing it up. I was stunned when I started going out in public en femme and I got compliments from sales clerks on my shoes, my bracelets, and my necklaces. They would...
Do what's right for you. Many of use wonder if we should purge, and if we made a mistake if we did it. What you might not see on this site are comments from those who did purge and never dressed...
Went to First Event, a conference for trans in the Boston area, a couple of years ago. Met a few people in sessions. No follow up though.
Adding some pink lettering and images to my camo wouldn't make me feminine. Yes, there probably are some hunting clothes that are cut for a genetic female body, but I don't have that shape. Plus, for...
Knees together is a must -- decency! Walk: Good sort of low/straight posture (shoulders back, gut in, boobs out), and one foot in front of the other (not lurching side to side). Voice: Sorry, not...
Yes, that type of remark (or the woman who pokes her guy/friend and points at me) are upsetting and hurt my confidence for a while. It does take a bit of metnal rebuilding. But those are the...
Absolutely go for it.
