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 don’t wish to become a crossdresser or become a women, I enjoy being male but I would like to increase my breast size. Not that I want to have large breast but larger than what I have now, maybe one or three sizes.
I love expressing the woman I was meant to be and showing off my style and fashion sense. I can be hard on myself when I think i’m not passable as a woman but when you are seen as one and treated as such its a weight lifted, a good feeling to become a woman.
Just a plain BEAUTY!
You have nothing to worry about, love your look.
It’s harder every year to keep up with you young Foxes….at 73 ( October).
I will do my best as long as I can
ENJOY Being You!

You are very pretty
Thank you Michelle
I am more of a “Closet CD” or if you prefer “Part Time Girl”. Having said that, I wonder if I would ever have enough guts to go out in public, even if it’s a spur of the moment, one time deal. But would love to have the confidence to be able to, should I desire it.
I have been dressing since I was young, but was in the closet until recently. I have started telling others and actually went out dressed for the first time. Now going and getting gas and getting a water may not seem earth shattering but it was a huge first step. The girl behind the counter took no notice of me, I think she had more interests in who she was texting, but. It was a relief. I am 5-5 150,trying to lose more, and find. It hugely important to attempt to be the best woman I can be. This is a goal I take serious and expect to succeed. Now I am still new and learning the ropes but have goals for I believe I was born in the wrong body and must correct that. Kisses Donna
While I have a very long way to go to be close to passable… it is still very close to my heart. I have a mental image of the woman inside me, and can see her clearly in everything except the mirror. That reflection that looks back at me with the all to square jawline, and weathered masc face, is the silver pin that bursts my ability to fully emerge. And lets face it, if you are going to do something, it just feels better when you can do it right… and right means passing inspection.
It’s not easy how we define passing. For some girls it means, to go fully indistinguishable from a genetic lady, for others it means to look good enough not to draw too much attention to themselves and look their best.
I personally know I cannot fool anyone to believe i’m genetic girl, too tall for that, too much testosterone in my blood. So, generally speaking, I want to look good and stylish and feminine. However, I also found that goal often contradicts passing in its original sense – if I want to give myself bigger curves and use heavy padding and a corset, or put too much or too heavy foundation to cover my skin deficiencies – i’m looking more pathetic than if I just enjoy my girl night out… I look more authentic, more secure, more enjoying myself and get compliments more often and negative comments very rarely.
Go figure 🙂
I think as long as you feel female and look like the average everyday woman on the street you are passing. It is when you try to hard is when you are outed!
i’m able to express my inner femme of compassion and love and beauty and interest even if i’m not presenting myself as female … and i love that. but … to be able to look as beautiful as possible and to be part of the female community when doing so is liberating! plus … i just really like working with the make-up and wardrobe to be pretty!
