Thankyou for your kind words. I'm curious about that family you worked for, they sound incredibly understanding and brilliant. I've heard that there is a gay/lesbian Muslim sub-culture in London a comedian did a gig for them and said that most of them were covered up. I don't know how you'd find them, but there must be some trans or crossdressing Muslims in there too.
I don't know how Muslimas do it in full Prudah. It can be quite stressful with the constant staring and occasional verbal abuse.

Thanks for bringing that up. It was something I sub consciously wrote it seems and I didn't have the intention of sounding like I was up to no good.


Generally I'm getting the vibe that people are worried about what would happen if I am caught. I didn't realise that I was carrying the responsibility of crossdressing as a lifestyle whilst doing this. After reading a lot of these posts I'm questioning whether I should continue wearing what I wear. Being more of a casual crossdresser I don't want to give far right swinging people an excuse to deionize trans and crossdressing people, so I've put the modest dress on hold for now. However I maintain that crossdressing in niqab is something that's helped me accept myself and prepare myself for what may happen if I went out in a saree.
