Do you go out in public as a woman?
If the answer is no, you’re not alone. Nearly 75% of my readers rarely or never leave the house en femme.
While going out en femme can be exciting and empowering, it’s not the only way to express your feminine side as a crossdresser or transgender woman.
Whether you choose to go out or keep it private, both options are valid!
This is an important topic, and I’d love to know what you think.
Where do YOU present yourself as a woman?
- Strictly in the privacy of your own home?
- At select places – like nightclubs, meetups, or conferences?
- Anywhere and everywhere as a full time woman?

After many years of struggling with my depression and GID and after 20 years in the military I was at the end of my rope and was seriously contemplating going to talk to GOD personally. But, I decided (after 9-1-1) I was going to finally be myself. That incident gave me the incentive to seek advise and be MYSELF. I stayed that way and 18 months later I was post-op and feeling a lot better about myself. My motto is: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF… and give yourself a HUG.. YOU deserve it… – YOU will feel a LOT better..
Rachel, I’m with you, gf. I, too, was in the military and covered my female self up with all the alpha maleness as I could…. being the M-60 gunner, and always top in everything I did as a Marine. Wrestler, martial arts, body building… you know the drill, ma’am. I’m now a transgender cyclist and still competing as a woman for my SECOND year! I thought of going to see God as well. But, as a Christian, I feel this is my “thorn in my side;my infirmity “ that I am meant to deal with so I CAN be a shining example to others. Stand tall, warrior woman. I shall salute you, enlisted or not.
Very well stated, Tonya. I would love to meet other Christian girls to talk and spend time with.
Dear Tonya Annalise, I can sympathize with you about being a Christian, and being Transgendered. Christian, I feel this is my “thorn in my side;my infirmity “ that I am meant to deal with so I CAN be a shining example to other as you said in your quote above. Listen I have a friend who is Catholic, and he turned his back on me. My philosophy is Live & Let Live. None of us a perfect & God judges us for what good we did while we were alive.

Thank-you for your thoughts… They are greatly appreciated.. I feel the same for you and the tribulations that you also have to go through. I believe this was a calling – to what, I do not understand. With great pride I salute you back.. HUGS
Good for you girl! So happy for you! 🙂

Hi Lucille,
I enjoy reading your polls, as for where I go It’s pretty much within my support group, tg conferences, masquerade balls, and other TG parties.
I’m very fortunate to have a variety of places to go. And I understand how daunting it could be for a closeted girl.
The only way to know is to take that first step and learn as much as you can.
It’s always special to get dolled up and have a place to go with my sisters en femme. Thanks for reading my reply.
Hugs,
Lynn
You look gorgeous, very feminine and very happy.
You’re a beautiful woman Lynn!
Carpe Diem. Go out and enjoy yourself. Chat on the bus into town. Have your hair and nails done. Do some shopping. Treat yourself to something new. Have a coffee or glass of wine. Be a lady. Enjoy.
After many years of staying at home dressed en femme, I finally decided to venture out a little at a time. With my herbal feminization program and daily breast massage I had developed into C cup breasts, and I wear all day, every day, a waist cincher and padded panty. I have a very feminine shape. Men’s clothing just looks wrong on me, so I went full time. I started out by having my clothing orders shipped to the stores so I could pick them up and meet the women who worked there, go into the dressing room and try on the clothes. It was easy and a very enjoyable experience.. I would go down there wearing a pencil skirt, blouse, panty house and heels. I now go to the nail salon, hair salon, spa, women’s organizations meetings, and women’s studies classes dressed as a woman. I have no choice. All my clothing, shoes and undergarments are all women’s. I love it! AT the hair salon last weekend I got compliments on my shoes and manicure. At Lane Bryant the sale lady said she had the same skirt and blouse as I was wearing, and it looked better on me!
It’s currently something only my wife and I share, with occasional late night outings to see a movie.
I only crossdressing at home .I don’t go out in public.
I like dining out and taking in a movie with friends. I have been to the Opera and live theatre, but typically I will end an evening on the karaoke stage at a local pub. I have always been treated as a woman, with courtesy and respect, and absolutely love being en femme as often as I can manage. Confidence is key.
From the deepest feelings inside me I am compelled to be out in public as Cathy at least 4 or 5 times each week. I spent my 20s 30s and first half of my 40s dressing once or twice a month home by myself for an hour, maybe two. Second half of my 40s I ventured out from my hotel on business trips to other cities and simply walked around for 4 or 5 hours – but didn’t talk to anyone and stayed in crowded downtown city or mall areas. Early 50s I simply HAD to start interacting with people as a woman, and so began my shopping at Macy’s, Talbots, Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack, Dress Barn, Kohls, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross. Then eating lunch and dinner at restaurants. Then going to a movie. Then finding new friends thru online networks before arriving in another city, and then meeting 1 or 2 gals in their bookclub, or dining out club, or a church ladies’ group – presenting myself as “a TG gal early in my transition process” and I found LOTS of friendly, kind, supportive women happy to make my acquaintance. The last 4-5 years I’ve now gone bridal gown shopping with another woman friend three different times in three different cities. I have volunteered as a woman to be a greeter or “ask me/information” helper at various art shows, theater productions, music concerts, antique shows, and academic conferences. It’s THE best – to be completely Cathy for 3, 4, 5, even 6 days in a row uninterrupted, and related to entirely as Cathy by everyone I meet. I love it and continue to find more and more ways to be out/make friends/do things with others as a woman – accepted by others as Cathy.
I go out whenever I can. At 68, I am not concerned with the thoughts of other people. I am 6’4″ and 215lbs. Not real passable. I go to local tg related conferences, I always go to my therapist dressed. I will stop at the market, or elsewhere that I need to go. I work to appear and endeavor to act as ladylike as I can. I almost never hear any negative comments, and even get compliments. Luv, Sandy
