Stepping out publicly as a woman is a powerful way to validate your female self.
In fact, I recently published a poll asking “How often do you go out in public as a woman?”
I was happy to see that the majority of my readers (transgender women and crossdressers) go out at least occasionally.
No matter how often you do it, I’m sure you can remember your first time presenting as a woman or crossdressing in public.
Since this is such an important gender-affirming step, I’d love to hear about it!
When was it? Where did you go? And what was your experience?
Please share with us in the comments below!
And if you’ve never been en femme in public, I’m sure you’ll find lots of inspiration in these stories.
As always, thank you for reading and participating!
Love,
Lucille

I’m now transitioned and go shopping at several dept.stores. My first time out was making an appointment to a hair dresser. He never said anything but was completely gentle and talked small talk.
That really got my confidence up and I knew then I was totally free to transition.
I love wearing dresses, tank tops and now that I’ve grown from a C cup to a D cup, I occasionally turn heads, but isn’t that what guys do when they’re checking you out?
I love being Catherine Nicole and feel comfortable in my feminine life. Hugs and kisses to all!
I am in my 70 wife passed two years agoI would dress around her now what
I used to sneak out at night. But just the other week I got the nerve up to dress up and walk though Walmart in the middle of the day. Been walking on a walking trail dressed with my wife in the early evening a couple times a week and I must say got a couple of looks but no one made any comments. Some even said hello or good evening.
I try to go out several times per month. I love being Annie and I find myself getting braver each and every time. The more often I go out, the more often I want to. I regret not being able to be Annie, my authentic self, full time.
I have always felt girly but kept it from my wife. Our marriage didn’t last. I was looking at stores that sell clothing for us gurls. I found one that offered transformation services,and quickly made an appoitment. The lady who did my transformation did a wonderful job. It was a long ride on the freeway back to my apartment. I noticed some truck drivers looking down at me from their cabs.This got me a little excited. I decided to put on a show for these guys. I would strike my nylon encased legs, put my hand between my legs, grabbed my breasts. It was so exciting seeing all these horny truck drivers. I felt good that I could break up their boring day. I had so much fun I still give my truck driving boys a show on the freeway every now and then!
Hi Lucille
Went out in town full hair and make-up first time yesterday, see photo, this was taken by my stylist!, she says most Women would kill to have my legs!, was read once, it was fine, totally unfazed, but lots of acceptance, told I was beautiful by a lady shop assistant
I worked at a small retail store and they encouraged their employees to dress up for halloween.My store had a 6 employees all women i was the only guy.They all came up with pimp and hoes with me being the pimp.My reaction was why do you all have the fun what if i wanted to be a hooker?To my surprise they said ok you can be a hooker to.After work i told my girlfriend about what happened she was more than willing to help me.She took me shopping at thrift stores.On my next day off we found a red leopard print dress that came up to my chest and had slits on both legs.We found a belt that had BAD GIRL written on it.On the way home we stopped in wal-mart for black tights the GF said she had everything else i needed.The night before Halloween she gave me a bottle of hair remover and told me to take a shower and use it and shave my face really close.When i stepped out hairless as the day i was born my GF asked me how does it feel?I just said weird really really weird she got a good chuckle.In the morning it was time to get ready the first thing she handed me was this one piece bodysuit thing.It had a bra and panties built in and a tummy shaper to suck my gut in.After some wiggling i finally got in it i then realised the built in panty was more of a built in thong.Next came the tights nylons on a freshly shaven legs is an experience no words can describe you just have to do it yourself.I sat down while the GF was doing my makeup and hair I had long hair at the time so no wig for me.I made boobs the night before with dry rice and a old pair of the GF trouser socks.I then put on my dress and belt when i looked in the mirror i was a hott woman.My GF Ran to get a pair of boots i was thinking a pair of her knee high.She bought a pair of 6 inch platform heeled thigh high boots.I was told they might be small but if i just wear the tights and no socks my foot should slide in and she was right.When i arrived at work i had a guy hit on me as soon as i got out of the car(to be fair i was a hot blond driving a red 68 mustang who could resist?).When my coworkers seen me they was speechless Rest of the day people was taking pictures with me,hitting on me one guy asked his wife why don’t you dress like that for me.A former employee showed up said she was on the other side of town.She heard people talking about the hot tranny working and knew it was me.One cashier was being really flirty with me she finally admitted she thinks i look hoot and would i like to come over after work?
At the end of the night i had gotten a couple of number from mostly guys and a few girls.I was invited to start doing drag shows.On my way to the car my good friend pulled up and wanted to show me off to her girlfriend and her mom.
Wow, that was a home run, would you mind posting a photo of that night?
So cool
Perfect pose and nice car.

My first time out, it was Halloween, I was 8 or 9 yrs. old. My school was having a costume parade with a prize for best costume. That morning my mom says just wear an old bed sheet and go as a ghost. But I didn’t like that idea because it was like that Charlie Brown cartoon. My mom brought out this red one piece…something…like a majorette outfit with tassels all around, like something Betty Boop would wear. I had been wearing my mother’s clothes as long as I remember (without her approval) and so the opportunity to wear this with my mother’s approval was fantastic. I put it on, she gave me a wig, clip on earrings and she did my makeup. I can’t recall about the shoes. I was a happy camper and off to school I went. I really didn’t think much about it. I just thought I was looking good, until all the kids including my teacher started making fun of me and they all laughed. I spent the whole day in school dressed that way and even walked home. By that time feeling hurt from everyone laughing had faded so when I got home I decided to leave it on because I enjoyed it so much. Then my dad came home and when he saw me, he was furious. When he found out I went to school dressed like that he was totally outraged. My father was a Sargent in the military and this was to much for his manly ego. He stopped talking to me after that.
Be who you are
Very nice
Your welcome. Can I see more pics
Thank you for your compliment, Ashley!
I am so sorry to hear your story. Why can’t people just be happy that they have friends and children that are healthy. Your dad should have just laughed at your costume and have said something nice.
I think some people have no happiness within themselves. Can’t give what they don’t have. Thank you for your kindness Ralph.
You look so beautiful sweetie.
That’s very kind of you, Kenzie! Thank you.
It’s a shame your father treated you that.
Yeah. In retrospect, maybe I should have gone with the bedsheet.
You are very pretty.
Thank you, Christine!
