I understand the discrete nature of some who want to hide their identity, but isn't those suits and such hot as hell? As for the ones that go out do you guys wear that stuff out also? Just curious?

i am a little limited on how i go out so the mask gives me some limited freedom to be dressed and wander around fairly desolate places. when i am clean shaven, i don´t use it. I have never tried to be anywhere that i would need to interact but that did happen once by accident.
As for being hot, not so much outside but in the house there isn´t as much air circulation so it does get a little warm
I don't wear any kind of mask when I go out dressed enfemme! Just a guy in a skirt and pretty top!! With of course the usual lingerie underneath!! Otherwise, I am all man!!

Its all about outward expression of the inner being. We just do it in different ways. Some do it because they are not comfy without something between them and the rest of the world. Its like sunglasses.... I know ladies, including myself, that always feel more comfortable when out and about if they have a big pair of sunglasses between them and the rest of the world. Yes its irrational and a bit silly, but if it brings someone comfort and the opportunity to safely express themselves then more power to them.
And yes those suits look like they would be horrendously hot.

The masks frankly creep me out. They are lifeless, and in some cases ugly. Sorry but that is what I think. The only times masks work are for superheros, or theatrical presentations. Another character that a mask works is "V" is for Vendetta. But he had one helluva reason to be wearing that.
The only mask i use is makeup. And i also have to makeup my mind what to wear.
I do not get it and a part of me feels that by wearing a mask it gives others the impression that being trans is something negative and should be hidden.
Very good responses ladies especially pythos. My take is if you are going to do this do it, don't hide behind a wall or plastic just because it is convenient. Do the best you can to make a good impression while representing us TG individuals. If I were a city, county, or government official I would investigate ya ass quick by whatever means necessary if I seen a person in a mask. You never know what is going on in peoples minds.
Mask? Hey, this isn't a mask girly! :D
Does anybody find it a little ironic that someone who is constantly whining about "society's" unacceptance takes the first opportunity to trash a group of people because they dress differently? LOL!
Wigs and corsets are hot too (in more ways than one.)
---of one kind or another!"
Except for a rare few like Jive Turkey, who goes out in a dress and nothing else fem!
Thank u, Hun! I owe u a toddie when we meet!Originally Posted by Karren Hutton
Kiera, I can only speak for myself and the few others who wear masks I'm familiar with. We r closet dressers and don't go out masked! (Unless u count Halloween, Disneyland, costume parties, and the SCC!):brolleyes:
Let me just add that, those of u that go out dressed without;
makeup, wigs, forms, shaping devices of any kind, etc., etc. U have my respect! But, that's NOT to my taste!
Just as Sherry's faces r OBVIOUSLY not to yours and some others, Kiera! U CERTAINLY have the rite to your opinions, too!
Now, let's discuss girls who r AFRAID to post an HONEST avatar/signature pic!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Okay, as much as I agree with others on how 'weird' it may appear or scary for some.. and yes, I don't understand it at all..especially if you do choose to go out that way and except society to not have some type of reaction.. me? I'm thinking a stick up
But I have to give it to Sherry, she is right..at least she shows her body..and not a cartoon face or signature..we all have some type of masks..just some more than others..

Hi.
A mask is used to hide the real you . is it not. make up. hair, as said glass s apart from a mask for a fancy party or a marsked ball.
Iv done all of them . the masked ball was our Edwardian group end of year do dressed in 1900 to 1910 time. tho every one knew who i was any way. 11 years i wore one of 3 wigs to hide behind, not any more , im open faced . so people see me as being open as in my pic.
as to glass s just a nice pair not black tho just a light see through . to stop the sun glare .
my history is all out there so no hideing,
...noeleena...
As long as it does not hurt anyone who cares what others wear. Your happy I am happy for you.
TO OVER WEIGHT TO POST A PHOTO, MY wife tells me I look like I am pregnant
I wear a mask. My mask is that of a male. It is an old mask, it hides my real identity. It is a mask given to me at birth. I put it on with my clothes when I go out in the morning. When I come home I take my mask off. It does get hot when I wear my mask. The heat generated is from the fear of being revealed as a guy who wears a dress. A respected guy within my community who has two lives, one is personal, the other is public. I have a cartoon avatar, I have a profile that does not say much, I fear losing my identity. Is it a crime to wear this mask? Label me whatever, may I label myself? I am a crossdresser.
Masked or otherwise I'd trust my life to most of my friends here and you can take that straight to the bank Hon.
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
If you don't like masks, don't wear one or look at those who do. There are lots of reasons cd's wear masks. Some prefer to have beards in guy mode but like to occasionally like to dress up and want to see their mirror reflection as something more feminine-looking than a bearded guy in a dress.
I wouldn't be caught dead in an ankle-length skirt or dress. It just doesn't do it for me. I may not even understand why anyone (gg or cd) would want to wear one. But I don't have to understand it in order to accept the idea that others like it. We all dress the way we do for our own reasons. So let's give the mask wearers a break.
well docrobbysherry, i do agree do what you want not what others want you to do.
me i would over heat in a sec in a body suit like you do. but i also must put up with a body that screams man...such is life.
as for no photo, it is cause i just do not have a good photo to post up. i am a bit camera shy (in all of my life) in 51 years might get one photo every two years. even missed one year in high school. sometime next year (pending money) i would like to get down to a real photographers shop and get a photo shoot going.
I think they would get uncomfortable after awhile.
If I knew where it was going to take me I probably would have put my mother's panties back.
I'm fine with whatever anyone in our community wants to wear. For that matter, anyone in the world. And I have to say, there are girls like docrobbysherry that ROCK the mask!
When it comes down to it, we all wear masks of one sort or another, and I feel that anything that one of us is sharing with the community, or the world is a pretty darn cool thing.
Like Nicole said, there are things that all of us have that we would never wear. For me, its gladiator sandals.. yick! but, SO?

I personally am not into masks.. but to each their own you know? I'm not going to tell others what do do or wear.. If you like wearing whatever, then do it that's cool with me. Some of the opinions posted here were kind of harsh.. As for not having an avatar etc, not everyone wants to put on an avatar pic, it's not necessarily out of fear or anything. I think mine is pretty honest though, haha I'm a hippie cat at heart!
Like any other community, we are a rainbow of flavors. Corset wearers, mask, tutus, jeans. We all might not understand each other but hopefully can respect each other. As mom always said, "I agree to disagree"
We all wear various masks throughout our lifetimes and even throughout the day. Who is the real you? Is it the you that others see? That varies according to the one perceiving you. Is it the you that you think you are? You may think you know who you really are but could it be that you are identifying with the false self that you and this world have created? Could it be that the real you is a stranger to even yourself? Make no mistake about it, we are all hiding behind masks of one sort or another. The only difference is, some masks are easier to see than others.
