Taylor,
I second what others have said about safety..if you are not sure how people in your area will react if they discover you are a crossdresser, please choose the area carefully, and have an escape plan if anyone gives you trouble..safety first!
Also as others have said..blending and passing are two very different things.
If you dress appropriately for your age, body type, and the location you will be going to, blending is not too hard..if you keep moving and don’t engage with anybody one-on-one…unless you are 6-4 or built like an NFL linebacker...then it’s unlikely!
PASSING is virtually impossible for all but a tiny fraction of crossdressers..
..passing (my personal definition anyway) means you could have a 10 minute conversation in bright sunlight with a teenage girl and her mom, and they would never suspect that you weren’t born a woman.
For this you either need:
-a totally convincing female voice (if they couldn’t see you they would still hear a woman), somewhat feminine facial features (think actor Orlando Bloom or similar), great makeup, and either your own long styled hair or a killer lace-front wig (for which you need a feminine face)..if you have all this, you could wear a baggy sweatshirt and sweatpants and no shapewear and pass just fine
..or..
-a decent female voice, and be expert at hiding any strong male facial structure with hairstyle and makeup, and distracting with perfect shapewear and clothing selection..even then, unless you sound and look female from the neck up, anything else is moot
So Taylor..if you’ve never been in public crossdressed..go where there are people and you are sure it’s a safe area, and be happy to blend in. Save passing or close encounters for the future..if you are one of the lucky few who can really pass as a woman..you will know when you are ready.
Have fun, be safe!!
