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,
Lucille

Well honestly quite regular
Hi Lucille, and everyone else too,
Though I do not go out completely dressed as often as I’d like (or need) to. Be it just wearing ‘womens’ jeans or a little eye shoadow, or even a little bit more. I do get out with some little things done everyday… And even though most of the time I won’t get the satisfaction of being recognized as a women, those rare occasions that I do, mean the world to me and lift my spirits tremendously! A huge part of what has been preventing me with my transition has been my work, it just takes up too much of the day and usually leaves me exhausted at the end.
One of the other major factors that has plagued my progress, is the hypocritical conundrum of when/where other people think it’s “appropriate” for me to dress and what not. And just talking to them about the subject, without them coming to any false conclusions on their own. So they may wrap their heads around the subject. A big assumption I find I am constantly fighting against is the thought pattern that I am just a “queer gay person that likes to cross dress”, rather than the truth of how I identify myself… As a trans-sexed woman, meaning that I am a woman, that happened to be born male. That also needs to change my outer appearance, to get the social acknowledgement, recognition and respect (think of the old adage “Judging a book by its’ cover) that I require and deserve, as a woman.
Sorry for ranting here 😀

Dear Lucille,
Thank you so much for the things that you have done to enable transgender women like me to live a much more satisfying and happy life.
I made the decision to accept my gender in January 2013 and, since starting hormone replacement therapy in August 2013, have been living my life as a transgender woman. I now live my life 24/7 as a transgender woman and am very happy about making such a decision.
I am inspired by the stories of other trans* women that I hear of through your work. Once again, thank you.
Regards
Andi

I have only been out in public once but I loved it and want to go out again as soon as I can however not having an understanding family or workplace makes it extremely hard to co-ordinate a night out. But when the stars align be sure I will be dressing up to the nines and out I go
I had my name legally changed in March. It was one of the last steps I had waited a long time for . I had been living as a women for over 18 months beforehand so I was so happy the day I got my name changed. I enjoy my life now much more than In did before. I’m fortunate in that the owners managers and co workers are all very supportive of me. Its not ideal all the time it is life and nothing is ever perfect but I live every day to the fullest. Life is to short and I plan to enjoy the rest of mine. P.S this is my most recent self portrait . Love Amy
I am always so afraid of going out in public. I have gone out fully dressed only a few times, to meet other CDs at a private club and once for my therapist. Time is ticking away as I passed a birthday milestone this year!
Still working up the courage to go out in public, especially when you know you are not passable. Nobody wants to be just a guy in a dress, or worse yet, a tired old queen. I want to be pretty.
I get out once or twice a month – not as often as I would like to. But I always have some piece of femininity on me at all times 😉
How did those beautiful breasts ???
You are one sexy Babe!
Megan, you are very pretty! I would love to hang w you!
Megan, I agree with Holly. You are beautiful and I would also love to hang out with you.
