Have you ever had issues when going out En Femme?

[Tracii G]

One thing I think might be helpful to the OP, is if members responding state whether or not they go to TG friendly places only (support groups, GLBT clubs, etc), or if they are out in the mainstream.

If someone says they've never had a problem and they only go to support groups and/or gay/trans friendly areas with other CDers, it can be misleading to someone who wants to go to a grocery store in their neighborhood. :p

Likewise, there's a difference between living in a small town where the inhabitants aren't accustomed to a diverse population, and living in a major urban area where it's fairly easy to be anonymous. It's all relative.

This is a great point thanks for posting this.
My city has a population around 300k so not much chance of any one my friends clocking me when I'm out enfemme.
I stay in busy areas to be safe and never do late night strolls alone.
Grocery shopping, going to the mall or out to restaurants has never been a problem.
I dress to blend in not to stand out.If out at night I will dress nicely to match the situation or event I may be going to.
My current GF and I went out and had a great time she really made the night seem more natural.
It was her first time out with me enfemme so a learning curve for her but she did very well and enjoyed it quite a bit.

A few times I have been out in guy mode wearing femme clothes and had some teen boys give me a hard time.
They were talking about kicking my backside for being a freak.I talked smack right back and told them bring it on one at a time or all at once because I love to fight.
I think the smile on my face in anticipation made them think twice.LOL
I learned that day that blending in was a better idea.
