Cross dressing in general -
If you want to wear a dress n heels fine go right ahead, but either do it proudly with your beard [as a man in a dress] or do everything and try to look and act like a real girl.
But for frack sakes, don't plaster 10lbs of makeup on top of a 10 o'clock shadow and have a hairy body with 44DDD's covered with a tube top and equally hairy legs barely covered by a micromini skirt that looks more like a belt and then try to tell me, or anyone else your a lady.

You want to dress and act like Brittney Spears fine - but if your not 22 or just don't have the body for it then Please keep it to yourself and at home.

Breasts -
What is with all the talk about getting breasts???
Come on - Really?? What the f*ck are you thinking?
Unless you are a full-time cd'er or a ts you don't need breasts.

And what are you going to do when you get them??
Ask questions like - can I hide 45 DD's under a sweat shirt while at work??
Or maybe ask the transguys how to bind them during the week

I may want breasts, [because I'm a TS that's why]
but not because I think they would be cool to have or fun to play with.

Relationships -
There seems to be an overload of whiney its all about me me me posts lately.

Here I am pretty much avoiding a relationship right now because I don't want to heap all this transitioning crap I'm going through onto some poor unsuspecting person yet all I see are posts about how you are the victim all the time.
Never do you hear someone say YES it is all my fault, I take full responsibility and I am sorry for putting my wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever through all of this. And I learned my lesson and will not do it again. Nope, just all back to me me me, with a new SO and how do I tell them its been XX months now.

Shopping -
Either say proudly - YES this is for me, or use the present for a SO or whatever other excuse you may or may not need to get you through the day.
But don't spend an hour in a store pawing through thongs with a look of - I left my overcoat in my double parked blacked out windowless van outside.
Oh - and the "I get stares while in the woman's section - BS!, and I will tell you why, next time your in the mens section take a look at how many stares women get from other men for being there. They don't just stroll in without no one caring, you just don't notice it, or even think your doing it when you give a woman a look while waiting for her to get out of your way to shop. Think about it.

Dressing -
In short - dress your age - or just go sooooo over the top you cant help but to be looked at, at then be proud of it, don't try and do both, or again weight 285lbs while trying to pull off a Brittney schoolgirl look and NOT expect to get looked at.

Clothes -
Figure out your size - 2 sizes 2 small is never a good look, and for fracks sake buy your own clothes - nothing says creepy x100 to a girl then to have her walk into a room and seeing you wearing her clothes.
Never come between a girl and her wardrobe, never, lol.
That is like borrowing your friends snap-on tools without asking. :D

Most women I see have little to no problem with CD'ers, if its done well or at least with a genuine effort.

Was this helpful hints or just a late night rant? That is for you to decide,

[SIZE="1"]Disclaimer: I am not saying what I wrote pertains to every CD'er, these are just my observations from this site and my thoughts regarding them. Some may pertain to you, some may not.[/SIZE]
Excellent!!

Rant or no rant, it's all true..

And finally at the very least an very honest post saying it as it is, which I also just so happen to agree with..
