Great thread and to be honest "well put". I am one who dresses to blend when she goes out (femme cloths, wig, make-up) but I hold no illusions that people look at me and say "girl". So while I may not be sporting a beard with my dress, people still see what I am . . . a guy, dude, man, homme, hombre, bloke. Very few of us truly pass when complete en femme. However, I have come to terms with that and accept it as who I am.
Is a guy going out in a dress very much different than those of us with a wig and make-up . . . with the exception of an effort to disguise the fact we are guys . . . no. We all do what we need to do to feel good about ourselves so who am I to judge. I might wear make-up, sport a wig and don jewelry but in the end I am just a "guy in a skirt". This is from a TG/CD perspective and before anyone gets insulted I know that it is very much different for our TS sisters in that it is not about dressing it is about being.
