There is a lot of legwork which the Transgender community has done simply by doing part of our treatment plan, RLE Real Life Experience. For those of you who dont know what this is, it is when the TS/TG person has to live and work in their target gender; in my case that is female.

We dont always have the benefit of months on hormones to feminize the body, we dont alway have the money for electro or laser. We do the best we can and take those first steps with frear and trepidation. I have found that in most cases as long as you look reasonably feminine (hate to admit this but my bra is still padded)you will pass as long as you have the right attitude.

The biggest test seems to be using the ladies room, my solution, just walk in like you own the place and have every right to be there. The other women in there are too wrapped up with what they are doing, both in and out of there, to pay you much never mind.

Hold your head high, move your shoulders back some so your chest doesnt sag and walk with pride. No leading with the head and shoulders it will give you away no matter how bombshell you are.

Oh yes and get some help with a good female voice…

Peace and Love
Joanna

I really appreciate your site and the information you are sharing. I have recently chosen to cross dress in a safe environment. I have wanted to do this for a long while (decades actually) but I’d kept the desire pushed to the back of my head. Your site has helped me to take the first steps and I am loving it. I have decided to start a blog to chronicle my journey and explore my female side. I have added a link to your site so that others can share what I’ve found here.

Many thanks!!

You could argue that anyone who walks a slightly different path to the mainstream or who looks different from the average, puts themselves up for misunderstanding, mockery and otherwise.

We, trannys (TVs, TGs, CDs – pick your label) get to hide under the radar. We don’t stand out (when dressed like men) and I wonder if that is holding back the acceptance movement that other folk (black, gay, etc) went through.

Perhaps ours is a velvet revolution, just a slow shift towards the general public just not caring. Yes, there will always be bigots and danger, but TG people do walk down the streets. Sometimes people’s glances linger, moreoften, they walk by caught up in their own little world.
