I have my own niqab and hijab. I love the experience of being covered and feeling feminine and submissive. I was lucky enough to be taken out in public - in one of the most Asian parts of London - by a Muslim family I was working for. I was also allowed to do the housework in their home dressed like this. I haven't had the courage to go out alone. I might get some funny looks in Edgware Road, as I'm white - although there are some white women who have converted to Islam and become niqabis.
My dream would be to find another Muslim family to serve in London, so that I would be expected to wear my niqab whenever I went out, even in hot summer weather!
I'm inspired by your courage, Blodwen. It would make me so happy to have the confidence to go out every day dressed as a niqabi. Perhaps I could find voluntary work with a Muslim organisation, although not all Muslims accept transgender girls (but I know ladyboys are accepted in many Asian countries).
I would love to meet up with any T-girl niqabis or hijabis in London.
