Do you think it’s important to “pass” as a woman? This is something a lot of crossdressers and transgender women think about.
Is passing really a goal worth pursuing?
I’ve shared my thoughts on whether or not I think passing matters in this blog post. (Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.)
But now, I’m curious to know what YOU think:
Do you care about passing as a woman? Or are you proud to be seen as the classy crossdresser or transgender woman that you are?
Please take my “Passing Poll” and share your thoughts below!
Love,
Lucille

It is of the greatest priority to me to know I can pass in any situation as a classy woman. I am proud of my developing bust (courtesy of “The Sublime Bust”) and I use ‘not over-the-top’ make-up; also I do wear my feminine clothing, when I am confident with the situation/at ease in the company of other people (such as work confidants). I wish I could just step out in female garb in all situations, without worrying about being shamed
The work you do for us, Lucille, is a real godsend.
For me blending in is the key word. This allows me to feel comfortable about expressing aspects of my femininity to a lesser or greater extent, depending on my mood and sense of self at the time. I am also aware of not wanting to let go of a sense of maleness altogether and for me therefore, passing is not really an option. Hopefully, this allows me to be reasonably content with being me!
“passing” can almost be considered a fraudulent perception. By that I mean when you have to “pass” you aren’t yourself. You are an image that society requires you to be if you enjoy expressing femininity and you are male. A construct that is sad, and unfortunately real. I simply do my best to make the best feminine expected impression with those that expect a woman to be. That’s me!

Yes, it is important for me to pass as a woman. I do not always achieve it but that is my goal and I keep working on it. I have been out in public usually going around the shops and usually I have not had any problems.
When I have had a good outing dressed without problems it gives me a buzz. I once went to Sparkle, a trans-festival in Manchester in the UK. I had a little outing into the ordinary shopping streets and I seemed to pass. I sometimes go out on my own but if there is someone I can go with then it is good. (This year’s Sparkle has just happened but I did not go this time.)
When I first went out dressed (also in Manchester) I did not have any problems although possibly one of the shop assistants may have read me when I paid for some make-up. At least she was very polite and did not say anything but she just looked a bit shocked! The good experience when I first went out encouraged me but I have had one or two rude comments when out dressed and I have just ignored them and walked on swiftly.

I am so happy that you are still here so you can eventually be the happiest you will ever be in your life. I know that living your life until you can be the real woman that you know you are inside can be difficult but the eventual reward after years of waiting is worth everything. BTW you look beautiful.

Yes i wont to become a ladyboy, as i have for a long time, it just i was cross dressing mostly behind close doors at home, as i thought that its was final time to open up about it to friends and family, so i did and i now cross dress around town, but still a little to scared about dressing in dress and high heels and make up people might think and say to me. So i wont to be a ladyboy to feel and wont more with my body, as i hate my body right now, i just wish i had of come out about it all when i was 20 years old, i almost geting there fully cross dressing and feel more and more like doing it now and i do bot warry about what the negative or nusty people say, i just do it and be my self. So i would like more, like as in B cup boobs, nice ass, nice hair, and just to be one and where things all the time like bras, high heels and other lady things and if i become a ladyboy i would feel right, and not have to warry anymore. I trying to get onto hormons and change my body. I did not think it be this hard to do it and when i get onto MtF hormones it will be very hard till i come full time, so for now all i can do is cross dress like a lady, i just hope it only take me a year to a year & half to go full time with a new name, i just wished i had of done it years ago, as im 31 tuning 32 this year. I look at my self every day and think to my self where are my boobs and bras, i hope this comment help you, by me explaining it all. Yes i have been with girls and had sex, i liked it for a little while but it did not feel right at all, so i would love to befor a very good ladyboy, as i can not aford the operation to get my dick taken away, so hormons might be my only option, so wheni do get on them i hope i pass as a ladyboy
Passing is not an option,too masculine, but that won’t stop me from exploring my feminine side.A little eye liner and mascara bring out my blue eyes. A professional pedicure with pink toenails in high heeled open-toed sandals and all is right in my world.
Hello Lucille,
These last several weeks it seems to me that I can pass as a female many of my coworkers have notice how my face is becoming more and more feminine and they have also notice that my nails are getting that female look so as for now I would have to say yes I believe I can pass as a female. Lucille thank you for showing me my true side.
