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 try to be passable, people tell me I’m pretty. But I’m still nervous to go out in public.
You are more than pretty Jennifer. You are radiant. I can’t believe you’re not female!
I’m not sure if I’m passable or not but I would like to be so I could go out and blend in……I’ve been getting help from my neighbor who accepts me for me and she tells me how I look. Anyways, I want to pass so I can venture out.
I agree. It may not be totally realistic but the attempt is what counts and to be able to achieve it at least at some level does give me some sense of success. To at least try is what counts.
I think that the concept of “passing” varies with the reality of our individual situations. The simple truth of the matter is that some of us are at an age and possess a physical structure that makes “passing” an achievable and exciting goal. For others, it is something that is simply not realistic and unwise to pursue. Contentment is something that comes from within rather than from perceptions or values from others. Not being able to pass doesn’t equate with being less able to sense the fulfillment that comes from realizing our feminine natures. If we achieve this privately, it’s no less rewarding.
Very well stated Brenda !
To be or not to be;
that is the
reality.
I love to dress up as a woman and go out in public and pass as a woman.I am also very proud of being told by natural woman that I look great as a woman………….
Hi Lucille…..I can no longer remember the first time I bought your voice course. Forty years I’ve been closeted. I bought, I purged, I bought. Finally, in twelve years I’ve built and maintain a real closet with fine clothes from major women’s retailers. Suddenly this Halloween, for the very first time, I walked through Los Angeles in broad daylight, fully dressed – but with serious face paint. Today I went to work as a man, dressed in only business appropriate female clothes and no “face”. In three weeks I will attend a huge company party fully dressed, with clean honest makeup and hair. I will participate with my female voice. For the very first time in my life I’m presenting. And I’m giving honest thought to who I am and who I might want to be. Thank you for being here all these years as I’ve followed my path at my own pace.
Lucille,
I am so thankful for you and your support. I have always wanted to be ACCEPTED in public as a woman. It is very important in my life to “pass”as a attractive female. Thanks again for helping us “girls” fulfill our dreams.

You should be accepted! You are gorgeous…
