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!

Hello Family?
i am proud to say that i have finally reached a point where it no longer matters regarding “passing” i am who i am and will always be me. It may sound like a snob and i’m proud of that too. i have spent waayy to much time trying to “qualify” or pass. it is a terrible waiste of time and energy. it leads to poor health as stress is the root cause of most illness. Disease = not at ease.
I am sooo much more happier without that issue. i found that the confidence i have gained too helps to ‘sell me as a female’. i would encourage all my ‘sisters’ to just try it as a accessory when dressing.
As always i thank you for your publication it has made the difference in my facing so many of the issues that we face. a fan called Rhonda
I really don’t see myself as a woman–I am a straight guy who discovered that I get off on the humiliation of being a sissy. If I had my choice, I would like to be with a woman–but I would especially enjoy it if she asked me to dress like her and double date with her. Is that weird? I don’t really understand it, but I guess I don’t really have to. I’m learning to accept it.
I would have to say that being accepted as female is all I need, I’m not trying to be a ‘knockout’ or some runway model. I just want to fit in. Its where I’ve been, it’s as far as I feel I can go.
I just adore females. I am jealous and captivated by them. They are beautiful. I have to do the female complete justice and regard it as my duty, if I am to dress as one I must do it as best I can!! I feel very feminine when I am dressed and girls that I have dressed with are often supprised at how feminine a man can be.
I entirely agree with the importance of blending in, rather than passing when this is not practical. This is what I always call being “credible” as a female.
I am aware I don’t pass as a genetic woman but I don’t really care until I am threated and respected as a lady. This is the case, normally, and this is fine for me.

I very seldom get the chance to wear lots of makeup and glamour myself up to look more like a real woman. Most of the time I dress up I look rather manly in the face but I do wear a wig. I am happy to be a crossdresser and don’t want to be a real woman, no surgery for me!! I like men who dress up in general and they don’t have to pass as a real woman for me to like them.
It is always a goal to be passable and indeed it should be so if at all possible .Some of us are lucky genetically to make passing less of an ordeal . If one is not going out in public or working full time as a woman then the inner feminine feeling and desire to be very gentle and maternal is then what makes us all survive .Inner happiness is as important as external appeal.Lets be happy and feel lucky that we want and aspire femininity rather than make it a task!
Hello again, I have always wanted to be a woman ever since I was a little boy. I have been a crossdresser for a long time but never complete in the feeling that I have. After my divorce of my fourth Wife, it finally hit me to not hide anymore and be who I was meant to be. I started to look into becoming the woman I am now. I found Flat-2-Fem and began my transition. Four years into the program I became more aware of my changes to become complete. I have never been this happy in my whole life not having to lie and having to make up stories of why I do what I do. It has been now six years living as a woman with new friends and allot of fun in my life. This has been a hard and sometimes very hurtful road to be on but very worth it. I am now under my doctor’s care and on hormones along with the herbs from Flat-2-Fem with no surgeries yet. I go out allot now with my new friends and invited to go places with them and their friends. I am accepted as a woman everywhere now and life is so wonderful.
very well put Dawn ! having a friend support group does make it easier to live life as you are. Lisa,
