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,

I do go out at least once a week dressed entirely in women’s clothes. It may only be in yoga pants and a feminine top to go to my yoga class, made up of 80% or more other women. i know that it is not my intention to “pass”. But it is my intention to embrace my feminine self as much as possible, to put aside the constraints of needing to present as a male. i consciously work to include at least some aspect of my femininity each and every day and to gradually extend myself as at least a feminized male. Each step is both affirming and liberating.
I love going out as a woman! Of course, I love to shop (what girl doesn’t love that?) and have visited many different stores. My favorite store is Burlington Coat Factory, the sales associates there are very, very nice. I love to go to the mall, I like to see how many girls are wearing a skirt like me!
I only dress occasionally. I have been out many times. I have shopped at the mall during the holidays, went to private parties and out to various clubs. I would dress everyday at home if I was able. My home situation, though my girlfriend is extremely supportive and knows everything about “Holly”, doesn’t allow me to dress freely. I don’t see myself transitioning fully physically but, I really really want breasts! I have a great sense of fashion and makeup and would so love to wear what I want but have to take the moments I get. Also, nobody but my girlfriend knows about my dressing. That has to stay TOP SECRET.
Dear Lucille,
In response to your poll, unfortunately I had to answer I have never gone out ” dressed’. That is why I found you. It is high time I made that step. And I am glad you are here for the guidance to help me be able to do that. Decades of being ” in the closet” really needs to be overcome. The very pretty woman inside needs to step into the light. Thank-you for your understanding and dedication to help Ladies stop wearing mens clothing and pretending for a closed minded society. Sissillia
Well I’m full time female name and gender legal to séance feb,15,2012 was full time before then mar,29,2011 when I was 23, now I’m 27 and the best thing I did fore my self is transitioning even know there was hard times and good times was worth it.
I have been full time séance sometime in 2011. And it was the beast decision I have made for my self. I’m 31 now and the happiest I have ever been in my life despite my genitalia, I’m happy the way my body is now.
I answered “occasionally”, but my actual answer is that i’m slowly increasing in frequency.
Until now, I went as a woman only when going with my therapist. But the other day I went to the cinema with a couple girl friends and it was absolutely faboulous!
In fact, day after tomorrow it’s my birthday, and i’ll go to a restaurant with some friends, entirely as Cassandra.
Sadly, it’s still only “occasionally”, but I’m working on it.
It is amazing what confidence and “plain old having fun” will do when dressed. I love it but pretty much stay in the “gay” areas…..much more accepting and fun.
“Angie”…”Very Sexy”…Being “Pretty and Gay Is A Wonderful Life To Live !!!
I unfortunately have to “crossdress” when I go to work as I can’t find a job as my female self. The only male clothing I have is 5 work shirts and a company jacket, everything else is female. I don’t always wear makeup when I go out and it is quite surprising what you can wear if you choose you clothes wisely. Jeans one size larger and boyfriend or androgynous shirts and tops, but my boobs are very noticeable in t-shirts. Now that I’m in my 50’s I want to live “my” life and not that of one society dictates I should live.
