I lived in a very small town at the time - about 5,000 people - and there were no clubs to go to locally. I started by going to my local bank first, as I knew they had cameras running so I felt safer there. I later went farther to get to other places I knew had cameras, like Walmart and Target. Once I felt confident then I went to the local grocery store (yes it was so small a town they had only one.)
The 31st of this month is a perfect excuse to test the waters! I went out fully dressed the first time on Halloween in 1979, and I have NEVER looked back!
I went out for the first time back in '07.
Jean and I were in Atlanta and we were going to our first Tri Ess meeting.
Before the meeting, we went to dinner with another couple that we know that live near us and have been going out for a while.
Kandi is a member here and this is where we had our first contact.
It was nerve-wracking and exciting all at the same time.
I think it was in 1998. I don't really count going to the gay club though, that is easy.
So basically I was overdressed in this black dress that was kind of ugly really. I went to the grocery store and also did laundry after at some laundromat. And of course like most say - I didn't get any comments or stares.
Just for the "first outing" or whatever outing, dress conservatively yet look nice.
During my time of figuring this all out, I learned the hard way that if you wear mini skirts and look like a street walker, that is what draws attention. You go out conservative looking, no one really notices. Even if they do notice the TS/CD, they don't say anything if you are actually covered decently.
It takes a true Erin to be a pain in the assatar.
Hi,
in 1958-9 , age 10+ i was dressed as a girl with 3 others for a end of year do for our church, some 80 or more came , so yes i was dressed full on & my Mum was there as well , so my first time was my Mum did dress me in my lovely clothes a cream dress just after i was born ,
Other than that not in the way you mean. tho im a woman intersex, my real dressing days would have been some 15 years ago. or the start of.
my interaction has been over the last 9 years with women & how im accepted , tho theres a lot more behind that,
Going out in our Village we have less than 5.000 & our next two Towns have 16.000 & 38.000 people & i just mixed with people to start with , the bigger malls are a good place to go. find a eating place & watch others see whats going on & if like myself i just up went shoping as tho there was no difference just like every one else nice clothes a little make up & just enjoy being there, with other people no dought you do that any way wether you or how your dressed wont make any difference , talk with the sales people , oh the voice , forget it who cares, no one really , dont put stumbling blocks in front of your self, or fear of the unknown forget it,
I mixed with some 200 people more if i counted every one. no drama if i can with my looks or lack of then you & others can .
I have mausculine features facial wise, that say so. yet im acceped for who i am by many people because i had the guts to over come many issues & one that has been my in my eyes undoing is my lack of looking female / woman. if i had allowed that to stop me i would not be where i am now,
Hey it would be lovely to look more femm what ever. well it wont happen not for this kid,
. so just go have fun enjoy your self & be who you are,
So what if some people look may be you have some nice clothes they like so people will look . no big deal.

My first time out was a couple of months ago. I drove from West Virginia to Tennessee enfemme, stopping for gas and food on the trip. I was alone, unfortunately, but I look forward to going out again with my girlfriend real soon.

I'M FREE, I'M FREE! I GET TO BE ME!
Hi there why would it be good to be my first time out at halloween. I am guessing u mean a witch
I always liked to dress as a Woman for Halloween as a kid because it felt very natural and i was comfortable. It continued more often as i got older.
Halloween 1976 (dressed as a nurse)
I would like to get out more but so far the only times I have been out femme is around halloween. The first time I went out was to a club called Trumans it was in Indiana.

About four years ago, we (I was with my partner) were on a long week-end break, and I was terrified. We walked out of the hotel and onto the sea front, I was positive everyone was looking at me, but my partner kept on telling me that no one was taking a blind bit notice, but I was not confident, and to be honest I was glad to get back to the hotel. When we did, it was then that I noticed that I had put my shoes on the wrong foot! The feeling was a mixture of fear and excitment, we have been out many times since, restraunts, pubs etc,. Whilst staying at a large hotel a little while ago, a gentleman opened the door for us as I passed him I thanked him, he said patting my rear "My pleasure" like most women I carried on as nothing had happened, but at my age I took it as a very nice compliment!
My best wishes to you all,

1st time ever? 1967 - I was 10 and we (aunt/cousin's) went to a local Krystal's hamburger joint, then the grocery store. I spent the following 3 weeks as the newly created Jennifer.
1st time I did it on my own? I was 15 and spent the day working for my Grand-dad at the Community Chest. He dropped my off that morning and picked me up that evening. I spent the entire day unpacking boxes of clothes. I spent most of the day in a maroon/velvet shorts set and go-go-boots (except for my "lunch hour" when I tried on several wedding dresses). I spent the majority of that summer as Jennifer after that (another long story). First time I did it and not at home? A trip back to Georgia before I went to college. I spent 2 weeks with the GP's and the aunt that created Jennifer. Within 2 days of being there, I had made the switch back to Jenn and then left there for college. I really hadn't planned on being Jennifer at college...the 2 week trip to the GP's and aunts was to be a final fling. BUT...when I got there, the dorm I was assigned to was kinda co-ed as the girls were on one end of the hall and the guys on the other. Seniors got the first rooms, then it went down from there. Since I was a lowly Freshman and late to sign up, I ended up with the last room of the guys before the girls rooms started...which within an hour became the last girls room before the guys started. But I digress...

My actual first time was when I was 16... 1968ish.... Dressed up in my mothers clothes and makeup and took a stroll around town one evening. Really a rush and scared to death!
My first time out dressed was about 1 month ago. I met up with another CDer and a GG friend of thiers. We took seperate cars and drove to Mobile to a gay bar. Was an easy first outing with a couple of accepting people with me. Also, when we walked in, there was a drag show going on, which really put me at ease. I definately want to get out again while dressed.
Having CD'ed at home for several years, I decided to try a CD makeover specialist in a remote city. She dressed me up (From bra/forms to slip to garter belt) and made me up, selected a wig and even jewelry, shoes, purse, perfume and coat. Then she and her CD friend and I went out to a nice restaurant for a casual dinner. I felt very self conscious all through dinner and even when paying the tab and walking out through (by this time) a very busy place. My biggest problems were walking in heels and keeping my voice falsetto! Quite an experience!
There were several stages of my going out en femme:
- out of the house -- walking and driving but keeping pretty much hidden (so what was the point?)
- being seen in public - but only by strangers - so if read it wouldn't be a disaster
- going into shops (like wig shops) but still shy about it
- going into a tg-friendly club, where it was ok to be seen as a crossdresser
That's as far as it has gone for me. I don't have any burning desire to be seen as or living as a real woman (successful passing in any setting).
The first time for myself going out in public for any extended time was in 2001 when I attended my first Renaissance TG meeting. It was in a different city so I had to interface with a lot of different folks along the way to ask directions. Seemed to be a positive first time experience. Plus when I finally did get to the meeting I was treated with dignity and respect as it was at a UU Church and I had to ask members where the meeting was. All in all a good experience.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
I'm honestly trying to remember my first time out. I think it was when my wife & kids were out of town. I needed some gas in the car, so I headed to a special gas station where only members could get gas. The station did not have an attendant, it was all on credit card and usually no one else was there when I stopped for gas. It was about 10 PM so I thought, I can do this. I put on a short tennis skirt (it was summer) and my regular T shirt. I cautiously got out of my car when I arrived. My car was between me and the main road, so I thought no one could see me well. About half way through my filling up, I saw a car go by and slow down. A minute later it came back, pulled into the station - with three young guys in it leaning out the window looking at me as they drove past. I was Scared! I quickly put up the hose and got in my car and drove away.
Now that I look back, that was NOT the way to go out first.
My first time out trying to be full femme, I got dressed up and drove to a near by K-Mart. I did not pass, but I was determined to do it. I got out of my car, walked into the store, feeling very nervous. I got a couple stares and a little laugh. I walked around for a minute and headed straight back to my car.
My how far I've come.

Other than dressing for a function at work it was shopping at Rose's dept store. The next night I went to The Lipstick Lounge in Nashville, its a great place where they make you feel welcome. Billie Jean

I was 15 the very first time. Went across the street, and bought a newspaper out of the vending box. I had to walk past the corner store that I we shopped in every day! What a rush! After that, I would get home from school, before anyone was home, and take walks around the neighborhood, getting bolderr every time!
"And if you want some fun, sing Ob-Bla-Di-Bla-Da!"
Well if you count going for a drive en femme going out then for me it was back in '98. However, one time I had a planned out dress up day whereas I was forced to leave home due to an unexpected situation. I had no time to change back and was dolled up in a black pencil skirt, high boots and a black sweater. I had to stay gone for several hours. I just did it and went to a mall, get gas, lunch, and just spent the day en femme until dark. What a rush. Funny thing is, when under pressure, we fold or go for it. I went for it.
The first time I went out totally en femme with the intent to encounter humans was on Halloween. I wore a mid calf jade and black long sleeve print dress, black stockings and strap on heels- and a brunette wig. I had on full make up. I went into a Winchell's doughnut shop and bought some doughnuts. The young woman complimented my presentation. The second outing to encounter humans was also a Halloween. I wore a knee length black dress with black stockings and heels. I wore a blond wig and had on full makeup. I went into a Safeway and bought a bottle of Coke. An immature young guy cracked up and actually made an ass of himself. A third time I drove to a different Safeway on Halloween which turned out to be closed. It was the time before 24 hour stores. I was dressed in a knee length white sleeveless dress, beige hosiery, white strap on pumps, blond wig and makeup. A local cop pulled up next to me at a traffic light and looked me over. Although there was no reason for him to initiate an encounter, I nearly died.
If you're wanting to get a taste of being out as a woman, I'd go en femme on Halloween. There is an element of psychological protection to one's ego. I would forget the Halloween costumes and dress as the inner woman you are. And with Halloween on a Monday this year, there is the opportunity to start off with bay steps on Friday and work yourself up to full encounters on Monday.
I know my wife would not approve of cross dressing outside the home, so I'm stuck at home handing out candy. When I made my Halloween forays those many years ago, I could never figure out why my wife didn't miss me on my side of the bed. With hindsight I guess she figured it out.
Now I mostly take drives
The mall. It's one of the few places that a woman can go to alone and not be out of place.
I only underdress. The first time I went out wearing a bra and panties under my male clothing was to the grocery store. I actually forgot I had the bra on and left the house. I must admit it was a bit nervous about being discovered. Now I wear panties and a camisole with a shelf bra every day.
