So, you want to Pass as a Woman!

[Michelle (Oz)]

But weren't you disappointed that people could read you? I thought half the fun was the ability to pass in order to be treated like a girl and I was under the impression that being read is the worst, most disappointing fate. So if they know you are a man in a dress, does this not negate the experience and take away from your enjoyment?

It sure is nice to be treated like a lady. Validates the effort in presentation and practice. It doesn't mean that we pass or even need to pass though, just that we receive respect for effort in presentation and a willingness to accept that is how we perceive ourselves so people willingly 'play the game'.

If I wasn't prepared to be seen as a man in a dress, then I could never speak and therefore couldn't interact. How boring! It has taken a while to get to this level of comfort.
