Your typical male crossdresser will occasionally wear woman’s clothes. Perhaps a single article of clothing, such as pantyhose or a bra. Or perhaps he’ll go all out and get dressed up, even wearing makeup and a wig. Some of us go to the next level in our quest to…
Pass as a genetic woman
I felt I had to write that in large font. In my mind I hear those words echoing like the booming voice of a fake god on a cheesy television show. As if passing is a judgement we must face, a test we must pass or face the crossdressing shame of ridicule.
Okay, enough melodrama for one post. I was thinking about some woman who go further, perhaps permanently or semi-permanently altering their appearance. To put forth a more convincing feminine appearance, or perhaps to feel the luscious covering of feminine silkiness throughout the day.
Personally, I have pierced my ears, and have had laser hair removal on my face and most of my body. I used to wear my hair long, before my wife lovingly convinced me that she preferred to see me as a man every once in a while 
Same story with my nails, though to tell you the truth once they got much longer than a quarter inch it became tough to do everything things as easily. I get my eyebrows waxed on a fairly regular basis in a high arching feminine style, and make sure to moisturize regularly.
That’s a few of the things I do to go ‘above and beyond’. I don’t take hormones, which would probably help my femininity even more. I try to incorporate feminine movement and voice tips, such as those in this crossdressing how to, though I’m not as diligent as I could be.
What permanent or semi-permanent changes have you made to your body, voice or mannerisms to appear more feminine?
Which change were you most apprehensive about?

Vanessa is a happily married 30 year old transgendered woman from Seattle. It's been a long road to acceptance for her, despite the fact that she has been crossdressing for more than 25 years. Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror she longs to see the girl that lives
within her.

I’ve moisturised for as long as I’ve been shaving. I think I tried after-shave the once, but as Golumn once said: “Aaah, it burns! It burns!” So never again
I have very short hair now although in my teenage years it was very long (it was the 80s). I’ve never had my ears done and while I think it would be a change to wear different styles of earrings, I’m in bloke mode more than not, so I don’t bother.
I don’t like my nails to be too long because, as you say, they get in the way of doing things. I remember trying false nails one weekend (I think most TG people do) and even after shortening them to a more reasonable length, I was surprised how difficult everyday tasks became. Typing was a complete pain!
Hehe, indeed
When I got my ears pierced a few years back I thought everyone would a. notice and b.freak out. Neither actually happened, and while it was a moment of courage to go into the local Claire’s and get them pierced it opened up the “world of earrings” to me
Hugs,
Vanessa
P.S. I did figure out how to type with longer nails (~ 1/4 inch) by keeping my fingers nearly horizontal to the keyboard, it made a pleasant clack, clack sound as I typed.
Hi,
I usually try to help loved ones and friends. For example, shopping can be a major issue and it’s hard to find small boutiques that feel comfortable helping “us.” So, i’ve found a few sites that are welcoming and if you call their offices they are very sweet, compassionate and understanding to the taller cross dresser.

I’m freaked out by my cross dressing bf. I’m ready to leave him
but I love him too much! help me.
Hi Wendy,
Can you tell me a bit more about you boyfriend? When did he first tell you he was a crossdresser, what does he share with you?
It’s only natural to feel a bit shocked and overwhelmed the first time you find out that the one you love is a crossdresser. For many crossdressers it is one of the first times they’ve told someone else, and they’re feeling both vulnerable and elated at the same time. This may mean that he will go a bit faster than you would like, perhaps showing you more of his crossdressing side than he would otherwise.
A good place to start is to have an open conversation with your boyfriend. Let him know about your fears, but also let him know how much you love him.
Good luck hon.
Hi Wendy,
I remember “coming out” to my wife – it was very hard on both parties and, to be honest, still is. I love her, she loves me, the bit that’s hard for her is that the me she loves incorporates the “female” part of me, without that I wouldn’t be the me she loves (hope you got that bit!!). Once the cat is out of the bag, it can never go back in and I do sometimes “assume” she’s more ok with it than she is – I realise when the caustic comments come out followed by “I’m joking” when I know she isn’t. It will be a hard slog for both of you, I know it’s a shock, to him it will be a relief as hiding it is very hard work – very stressful – I’ve regularly thought I was losing it and there were 2 people in my head – now I accept it’s all just me. All the best to you both and please, I understand it is hard, very hard, but do try to understand – don’t let him run roughshod over you, but don’t try to force him to give it up – it’s part of him, and forever will be……it’s like asking him to rip his heart out (well, that’s how it feels to me). It’s only society’s prejudice that causes the problems, how long was it before women in trousers were accepted ? I know it’s probably a pipe dream but the old adage of “clothes do not maketh the man” really is true.
Good luck and I sincerely hope you get a good outcome for both of you.
Rachel, you bring up a good point on assuming that sometimes she’s more okay with it than she actually is. I find this sometimes myself, and I need to be careful not to assume it’s okay. Sometimes wearing makeup or women’s clothes in public will make my wife upset. If I’m not paying attention she’ll get upset because I didn’t notice she’s upset. I guess she has the right to expect woman’s intuition if we’re dressed as women, huh?
I am growing my hair long as I have straight hair and will look really good when its longer.I will have it combed back during the day and let it down at night when I dress up.I have ALWAYS wanted real long hair and now I am gonna let it grow as i love the feeling of hair running down the sides of my face.By this time next year it will be near the length I want it and may get blonde highlights as I am a brunette.Since I have been using conditioner more often it has been growing like crazy 3/4 an inch a month, a bit more than the average growth of 1/2″ a month.
Nice Kelly! I’m growing out my hair as well – blonde highlights are tremendous fun!
