Stepping out into the word as your female self can be incredibly empowering. It’s powerful validation for crossdressers and transgender women alike.
In this blog post, I want to dive into this topic and hear about your own experiences. How often do you present yourself as a woman in public?
Do you live as a woman full time? Do you crossdress regularly or on occasion? Or is the answer, sadly, “never”?
Please take my transgender / crossdressing survey and share your thoughts in the comments below!
Love,

Whenever I leave the house, other than work or going to the range, I’m dressed up pretty. Or as pretty as I get; being a fugly tranny has its ups and downs. But everyone gives me props for being out and accepts me wherever. Such is the life of a fashion victim who likes heavy music…
Have been going out “Dressed” once or twice a week for the last couple yrs now—It helps that I have a work schedual that generally gives me 3 days in a row off–I still work 50 or more hrs–but they are compressed into 4 days–
I find–the more I do it–the better I pass & the more confidence I have–My wife has been such a great help-
Some great responses. I have been going out as Diane for about 3 years now and usually feel OK. As of now, I have never felt confident to try any clothes on as Diane although I have made several over the counter purchases without any issues. My biggest fear is still the ladies room, not sure exactly why but there are lots of issues for me in this area. I wondered if anyone else had similar issues and how best to deal with them.
I always felt uncomfortable going into a men’s room. As a woman it is much easier going into a ladies room. Just put a smile on and walk in, do what you need to do and walk out. If you meet someone, make eye contact, smile, and go about your business.
Hi Diane – I always use the ladies room when nature rings! The main thing is to just do your thing without bringing attention to your self. I’m rather small so I seem to blend in as any other woman when I do use the ladies room. I have even talked to women at times. I guess I’m pretty fortunate. This is me recently at a Macy’s. Just be your self!
I live as a woman full time now.
I was living with family up until a couple of years ago. For quite a few years I was too scared to be myself around them, so, when they were around, I’d crossdress as a man, which was really disheartening. Then I moved out, and being on my own, I don’t have to crossdress any more and I feel free enough to dress normally (still working on swimsuits, lol). It was indescribably liberating and uplifting, and I enthusiastically went through all the legal hurdles for social transitioning (which wasn’t easy in a tiny North Carolina town)
Around the same time, much to my distress, both my parents found out I’m transgendered. I called my birth mom to tell her and though she said that she already figured it out, she was very accepting and supportive. I knew my dad wasn’t ready, but confided in my stepmom. For some reason she let it slip to my dad…who freaked out and, more or less disowned me.
I wish I had the courage to tell my mom years ago…I think my life would’ve been so much less stressful and I could’ve transitioned much earlier and more successfully.
Tomorrow morning I move up to Maryland to work towards getting gender confirmation surgery (can’t afford it in Virginia)…I’ll still be living as a woman, and I couldn’t be more terrified because there’s an abyss of unknowns between now and then.
I think the overused cliche is absolutely true though: Things work out better when you allow yourself to be yourself.
Wow! Good luck & I do so admire your courage! You did it when you could, that takes courage at any age!!
I Go Out in Public as a Woman not as often as I would love to do it , but I really enjoy it .
do you ?
I go out full time as a woman .. after several years of practice ..
I go out occasionally. It feels wonderful and totally normal and natural. I also date once in a while and have gone to restaurants where no one has ever made a comment. I feel very lucky to be able to be my true self out in the real world.
I lived full time for several years in the 90s, but sadly I never go out anymore. I made a choice to preserve my marriage. I get itchy at times but no problem.
