Best Ladies' Room Conversation Ever?

[JamieG]

Great story, especially this bit: "Honey, I'm a boy. Being married to a woman is pretty easy for us!"

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Bree, You don't suppose that she was a natural blonde do you.
It sure sounds like she was.

[Erica Marie]

Bree that is a story we all wish we could tell. I bet it felt absolutely wonderful to be looked at as a female. She sounds like a very nice person. If we all had wonderful experiences like that things would be great.
Oh by the way you look wonderful in your $8.00 dress. Super bargain.

[Bree Wagner]

I'm glad I could give out a few laughs!

Lovly story Bree. Out of interest how male is your voice?

I think my voice is very male but I try pretty hard to keep it out of my normal register. I like to think I can make 50% of people guess at 10 feet but if I open my mouth it's all over. Maybe it's not quite that bad.

Does the mean that the younger generation are becoming more understanding and accepting?

I think so, but it's certainly still a mixed bag. You've almost always gotta play it by ear and let the circumstances dictate. There's no way this conversation would have gone the way it did without me getting a pretty good idea of how she'd react based on her questions and body language.

We all tend to go straight to that assumption in these situations, but frequently we jump the gun. Personally, I've worked on not jumping to that assumption, I don't acknowledge it unless they say it point blank.

Agreed, but this opportunity was too good to pass up!

Bree,

That was great. I guess that means you got it all. A great dress, personality, and passability.

Congratulations! You've graduated from Crossdressers high school.

Was that the final exam? I'm not sure I'm ready to graduate! I'm pretty sure I'm still acting like a teenager because of how new this still is to me.

I expect a barrage of slings and arrows . . . . . but it had to be a blonde!

No comment!

What a story, Bree! I doubt I'd do as well if suddenly approached by another girl in the ladies' room like that...I may have a good femme voice but I'd probably be too flustered and nervous to answer as well as you did!

I also have to give the girl full marks for not immediately running off screaming, "There's a MAN in a DRESS in the ladies' room!" She seemed to take it in stride. Perhaps one day that girl will be in a conversation with some woman who says, "Hmph! I wouldn't want any of those MEN pretending to be women in OUR restrooms!" and she can tell her, "Oh, I ran into one once. He, or she, wasn't being a perv or anything. She looked nice and was very polite, in fact. It was no big deal, really."

And one more thing...you found that dress for eight dollars? Yep, you're a woman, all right.

I'm guessing that gal was a bit of a bubble head Bree.

Amy, you're so right. That would be the ideal result. Even if she left saying "we can't be friends" I think I did OK.

I don't get it...

[paulaprimo]

very funny story bree! you probably could of sold her a bridge while you were talking to her.
sounded like you were talking to my ex, but you did say she was in her 20's...

[AmyGaleRT]

Amy, you're so right. That would be the ideal result. Even if she left saying "we can't be friends" I think I did OK.

Oh, that was just her being jealous over the great deal you got on the dress. And I don't blame her!

[vikki2020]

Funny story! I'm always kind of amazed by how nice the girls are in the restrooms!

[SaraNZ]

wow...it is a great dress!

[Lexi Moralas]

Sound like a great interaction! And that is an amazing dress!
I love good will ! Find a lot of great stuff there for very little money

[secretlyme]

Too awesome; your posts inspire me. Maybe one day I'll be at a place in my life to venture out. I'm just not quite there yet. Great story and great find with the outfit.

[jenni_xx]

Great conversation.

Of course, it's all from memory, but we get the gist of it all, even if it has been a little "romanticed".

[Eryn]

Great conversation, but I don't think that I would be up to "breaking the fourth wall" as you did. I never assume that I've been "made" for the reason that Persephone stated above, there's still a very good chance that I haven't! In a bathroom/dressing room situation especially I don't want a GG possibly freaking out over the discovery!

[gautier_nikolai]

Great dress and great story.You come across as a laid-back, fun, cool chick Bree!Rock on!

[Diversity]

Good story Bree! I quite enjoyed it!

Thanks Secretlyme, I hope you get what your heart desires sometime. It always warms my heart to hear that I'm an inspiration, because I sure don't see myself that way. I stand on the shoulders of giants...

Oh absolutely not! It sucks when that happen. It has only happened to me once where just walking into a dressing room a woman lost it and ran away. I felt awful and went scurrying home and I hadn't even said a word. This time was a matter of just reading the situation and having a pretty good inkling that it'd be OK. I'd never want to incite anything or make anyone else feel intentional discomfort in a situation like that.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for pointing it out.

[Sometimes Steffi]

I keep thinking about it from the GG's side of it.

No offense intended Bree, because you looked wonderful, but was she wearing "beer glasses"?

Can you see her going back to her table and telling her GFs, "I met this woman in the ladies room who was wearing a beautiful long dress. She didn't even want to tell me where she got it, because she said Goodwill. She she told me she was married to a woman. I figured that she was lez, but she insisted she was really a dude. I'll believe that when pigs can fly."

Unless you were really doing the "bloke in a dress" thing it is unlikely that she ran away simply by looking at you. If that were the case she'd be running away from a lot of GGs because quite a few have masculine features. There was probably something else going on with that individual.

Last Monday I was in a Dress Barn trying on clothes. The dressing rooms open to a common area and it is normal for several women to be there looking at each other's selections. I was asked my opinion on clothes and even asked for assistance with zippers. One lady whose skirt I critiqued headed back to her dressing room and nonchalantly unzipped the skirt on the way to the door. If this 6'2" lady with rather angular features caused her any concern she did a great job of hiding it!

I think that the biggest hurdle we have with this thing we call "passing" is simply accepting ourselves as women. GGs have no problem with this because they know in their heart of hearts that they are. We aren't quite so lucky, but the attitude can be learned.

[AllieSF]

Well said Eryn. I have had similar experiences in the dressing room and take the same attitude.

There certainly could have been something going on with her. I don't think I was doing a 'bloke in a dress' thing, though I wasn't nearly as practiced as I am today. The woman started to say "What do you think of this?" and it turned into "Are you a man?" as she ran back into her stall. All of that was from 10-15 feet away without me saying a word. I wrote about it last year here and it includes the visual evidence.

Things have sure been better recently and what you said about accepting ourselves and the attitude that shows on our faces is the most important part. A big smile goes a long way in every situation.

I went out in public for the first time Monday night and I was scared to death. It wasn't anything major, just drove around and then noticed I needed to get gas, and had to stop and get out. I was so nervous someone was going to say something but was not even noticed or at least nobody said anything. I am hoping to get to where you all are one day. You all inspire me and I am so thankful for this site.

Bree

I looked back at the older post and there is quite a diference. If you don't mind my asking, what do you do to get such a cute, feminine look now?
