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,

I would love to be called Ma-am when I’m like this, but more often then not i get a sir! I come to except the fact that i am a guy in drag, so i have come to except the sir, when in girl mode! but inside it still make me sad when they do call me sir! so what i’m going to do about it?
they are what they are and i am what i am!
As a trans woman, I really do care a lot about passing, but at the times when I do get “clocked”, I take it in stride and let it go, which is something I had to learn to do because I used to get pretty frustrated when it happened. Of course, those times are when that happened much more frequently but now that I’ve been on 9 months of HRT, my body and face has changed tremendously, so I tend to pass a lot more easily. But despite that, I still get clocked at times.
This picture is the first time dressed in total femme.
Don’t forget about accessories, like these Michael Korr’s Sunglasses. Tasteful accessories can help a lot.
30 years later. Left: Macho man, Rower Country Champion, thai-boxer, rock-climber, soldier… playing such sort of roles, fighting against himself. Right: Just Me. 🙂
Wow, amazing transformation! Those are some great accomplishments. Hope you are proud of the both the “before” and “after”!!
I have a better pic that If I walked in public in this dress I would be passable.
When I came first time to my therapist, she told me: “Only one thing you must accept. You are really tall woman. And the rest is possible to change.” It was the great motivation but I didn’t believe it… Now after 9 month of HRT, I agree. I am passing. Voice training, social training, make-up training by YSL Head make-up artist… etc. Hard job 🙂
As several ladies stated above, a lot of us wish that we were more passable as women but older we are, harder it is. I had a young woman in the salon tell me during a make up session recently that it is hard to hide my maleness due to my bone structure and my OLD SKIN. If I wasn’t married and old than I would most likely go to a reconstructing plastic surgery clinic, also if I had Bruce / Caitlin money but most of us don’t.
I have a lot of wigs because I haven’t any hair on my head,but I love wearing blonde wigs and make up. It makes me look more beautiful. I always wanted to be passable to walk in a mall looking like a woman. At present I wear women’s underwear,stockings and boots under my clothes.
i suppose as a typical (i think) crossdresser , you set so called goals .
but , you can only achieve what your able too , even with “help”
reality kicks in gender asside no “genetic” male will ever be female or vice versa.
but i have to admit its,good/fun or other adjective you you might bring into use !
however i did ask for my GP to refer me to the “local gender clinic”
never had any reply yet . but i not in any hurry , on the high side of life cycle , must be getting more courage 🙂
