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 have been crossdressing since I was 7 years old I am now 64 years old. I have been in the closet for many years and been through many changes . have been marred for 36 years and my wife does not know. I have been out in puplic for short walks. I would come out to everyone but there are so many against transgendering. I do have several shoes all heels above 3.5 inches. I can walk in them just slower. best way to learn to walk in them is at a parking lot on the stripes for parking.
Can’t recall exactly my first time in public. Probably some walk on beach late evening. But my last one was two days ago. I allowed myself a little pampering for my birthday. I went to a beauty salon for another facial photoepilation session… enfemme of course. I go out enfemme regularly, cafeteria, markets, beauty salon etc.
My first time out in public was EXHILARATING! My SO was the one who had the idea and planned the evening. We went away for the weekend to the Cape. She helped me get ready and made suggestions on which outfit to wear. I ended up wearing my corset to help give me a more feminine shape, a burgundy top with long sleeves that flared a bit at the end. My gaffe, silky panties with pantyhose under stretch black leggings with a bit of lace along the side. My simple black leather flats and my wig to complete the look! It felt amazing!! I’ll never know how well I passed (if at all) but I thought I looked beautiful and could pass if no none looked too closely. It was a night time excursion to a movie theater pub. It was a perfect place to go for my first time. I was so excited and scared at the same time! It was like a dream! We drove to the theater and when I stepped out of the car I was on a pink cloud 9! We walked under cover of darkness into the din lobby. My SO purchased the ticket so I didn’t have to speak. Then we entered the theater and found a table. The theater was also simply lit so I felt that I was not clocked! At least that’s what I told myself. My only real concern was when I had to tell the waitress my order. My attempt at a feminine voice was iffy at best, but the waitress didn’t bat an eye and away she went with our order. The movie was A Star is Born! The title seemed appropriate for the evening. I was so elated! The tightness of the corset, the slimes of the pantyhose on my legs sliding under my leggings was electrifying!! I kept slipping my shoes off and rubbing my nylon covered feet against each other! The sensations were exhilarating!! I’m not sure how I was able to follow the movie, but I remember every scene! My SO was amazingly supportive and loving! It has been WAY TOO long since we’ve been able to do something like it again but I CAN’T WAIT!!!
A thing I remember was when we were children, we would pretend to be adult characters, dressing up in our parents clothes. Choices included my mom’s nylons and heels or dad’s clunky toe-jam army boot. I could put on my mom’s perfumed dresses or my dad’s perspiration stained, cigarette smelling t-shirt. In the bathroom, I could either play with colorful makeup or I could scrape my face with a razor. Hmmm…what to choose?
