Traveling opens up new perspectives and can be especially freeing if you’re a crossdresser or transgender woman.
When you take a trip, it’s a chance to express your feminine self without the routines and expectations of everyday life.
Being your true self in a fresh, unfamiliar place can feel incredibly empowering!
Considering all the benefits of taking a transgender or crossdressing vacation, I’d love to know: Do YOU travel en femme?

I have flown a commercial flight as Cathy 4 times total on 2 different airlines. I checked-in at the ticketing counter with a signed formal letter from a therapist friend of mine explaining my “gender identity dysphoria” and how I self-identify as a woman and the airline has allowed me to fly with driver’s license ID and boarding pass both in my male name, but I dressed female. I am 100% sure that what helped was that I was not wearing some outlandish heels, make-up, short-skirt, etc…
Instead all 4 times I flew wearing skinny jeans over thigh-highs, flats, a long-sleeved knit top in a light pink or ivory or powder blue that would “show” my bra underneath (but like any average everyday woman), and I had a cute scarf and very average sweater or jacket/blazer, same for shoulder purse. I kept my make-up very average-everyday, same for jewelry, perfume, nail polish, and my own hair is shoulder-length and I flat-iron it into a very basic feminine style with feathery bangs and a big hair-clip up on one side. I settled into my exit aisle seat each time, smiled and said “hi”, got out my book or laptop and read or did some work. Flight attendants came thru with drinks and I was very average and blended in very well so no drama there either.
Thanks to 5 years doing Lucille’s F2F program, I have very feminine 36B (very full B-cup) breasts and try to always wear a padded push-up bra to create very obvious cleavage and soft, bounce just above the deep scoop-neck or V-neck tops I like so much, and showing some breast tops like that is also a great way to divert eyes + attention to what is a very obvious female look, even if my face is not completely passing. But my own long-styled hair and chest help very much.
I also don’t try to attract attention to myself and just blend in like every other 40-50 year old woman on the plane, and at the gate waiting area. I also walk much slower/smaller steps thru the terminal.
The only place my heart skipped a bit was in the security screening line, but again, there were lots of people, my clothes, make-up, hair were all very average, and I simply put my things on the conveyor, did the hands overhead in the scanner, and gently gathered my things and very calmly walked on to the gate each time. MOST IMPORTANT was to be sure I had nothing in my pockets to trigger scanner concern and then need to talk it through or get a pat-down. So I put my plain flats on the conveyor also and make sure my pockets are completely empty, and they’ve said my jewelry (5 rings, a bracelet, thin watch, earrings, and necklace) is never an issue in the scan.
It’s very satisfying to land, de-plane, walk thru the terminal, and feel so girly-feminine.
You are one classy Lady. Very admirable.Wish I could see more pictures of you.You simply awesome.

Hi. . I am not able to find another way to send this to you. Just want to tell you I just joined “crossdresser society” There is a great write up all about you there. Just thought you should know..

I am always as a girl “ou une fille”.
All my life, I have been wearing jeans (90 % coton with 10% spandex, they cling better), shorts (coton or lin), black mérino turtle pull (my favorite always wear) over a small linen camisole.
To feel a bit more érotique, I will wear a school-type-skirt and a white dress linen or cotton shirt with a black mérino wool veste.
Lately, I have been collecting small knee length white dresses for a comic book series that I am presently drawing. You can find it on my site-blogue-forumu that I had fun to colored-it up.
You know. Girls and women have a different conscience today. I wear at times, the “manga-type-school-girl-uniforme” mostly for how I feel at that moment. And I wear the small white dress to air my body and by nostalgie.
I normally wear female socks, underpants and jeans. If I could find a discrete unisex blouse etc., I’d wear that too. I’m also thinking of changing to female running shoes. I prefer casual unisex outfits that go unnoticed at this stage. I’m older and don’t really think much about it much anymore. These are just my clothes.
I too have switched to many items more feminine – jeans, panties, all kinds of hose, running shoes, some sandals, flats and boots. I occasionally find and wear a blouse that is more unisex. I too am on the older side of life and find it difficult to get my life partner to understand.
In my case, when I travel dressed as a male, I get outed almost EVERY TIME! Geez.
So yes, I’m seriously considering going full femme this summer, as it is useless to cover everything up at that time. It’s crunch time, so to speak.
I just wish I had a better fashion sense.
Also, I have changed so much in the past year, that I look at my photos from that time and see a different person. It’s like having two incarnations in the same body, and friends say the same thing.
I’m planning on getting the photos for my ID changed soon as well as all the details associated with that.
I occasionally travel as a woman. Only on a chosen occasions. Twice a year I attend cross-dressers’ festivals in Kerala and Tamilnadu. When I visit those places I visit them as a woman. I stay there as a woman for three or four days as a woman only.
