How to Pass as a Woman in Public

I'll start us off - smile! You'll not only be more approachable, but have you ever noticed how men seem so serious, and woman smile more often?

As a side benefit, you'll feel better too 🙂

One from Emma on Twitter, "just wear old trainers, baggy jeans, plane top and zero to very little makeup. Like 99.9% of women do.."

I feel that when women do this they don't appreciate the awesomeness of wearing some makeup to look beautiful and the pretty clothes / outfits they can wear.

I have dresses since 1957 I was cought be mother and taken to a shrink who had me dress all summer 100% of the time I enjoyed that time several girls visited me dayly did make up etc and I learned to service girls as a lesbeon The experiment did not work I wanted to dress all the time. I got the guts to go to Trenton and ask the owner of a bra & girdle shop to fit me in a girdle she first made me buy panties then she measured me and we talked of breast size she advised B I went with her advice got 2 allinonegirdles red & bkack stockings & red pumps 2 in heel as I stood in fitting room I was offered a deal ten hits on my girdled ass with a wide leather belt for everything above free. And I would leave the shop wareing 1 outfit under my street closes I did it and gave. The. Shop owner a big hug and thank you she told me I needed straping and she will do it for me in exchange for underware a super deal for me Bought shirtwaist pink dress across the street at Lane Bryant size 18T. With my long hair and make up I passed on the street. I married my life mate at 25 and was steralized with in a year as I did not want a child to be like me. The down side was watching wife screw to get with child yes I was secured in a mission style chair each time a stud was found. Raiser 2 girls both very smart they truly love me yet they were told early on of there father they have been a great help with my feminazation and stand close to this date(2015) I never wanted to sex change I did hormone and got natural tits not quite a B 40. It was fun as things happoned the 3hr with breast pump for 4 years
Today I live 7/24 as fe male and pass wife is considered a sister where we live and we have no regreats as to the last 55 years at home I am always in a allinone stockings and 3in pumps ware plain shirtwaist dresses to go out life has been a ride but I would do it all over. Jessica anne

From Google+, Harley says, "Living " full time" I personally "pass" at a glance. even for a few minutes. Genetics played a bit of a trick on this preop transwoman. Even after 5 years hrt I am still not exactly the built femininely 5'11" makes for a good sized girl even at 165lbs. No matter though, whatever others think is for me irrelevant, though I understand the concern many have. These are the same feelings that I experienced early into my transition. What I would like to highlight hear is a simple thing I have learned. With very few exceptions what Churchill said long ago. "We've nothing to fear but fear itself". If you are comfortable with how you present yourselves. Few will do more than look right through you. Most will respond no differently than they do to any friendly outgoing person they meet."

When you go out en femme "act" like you are supposed to be there! That will help you to blend in.

When going out, like shopping, or lunch, walk in the place with a smile and head up. Walk in like you own the place. Look at a sales clerks or waitress name tag, call them by name. Make eye contact. And most important dress to blend in.

Quickest answer is simply I don't care if I am read or not. If anyone has a problem with it its exactly that their problem not mine Simply be yourself..be the woman you think and know you are. Would she slouch? Would she not look at people or smile? CERTAINLY NOT! Dress your age, dress to blend in to the surroundings. I have been stopped a few times by police but was always treated professionally and with courtesy. The same goes for going into stores or wherever else. Remember most people don't notice what is right in front of them unless you appearance is jarring for some reason chances are you wont be remembered after a few seconds.. If its your first time out dressed go with a friend.......

I agree with the other ladies... My first time in Public was nerve "racking" to say the least... I should have gone with someone with me... but I ventured alone... Drove to the local Taco Bell down the street fully dressed in a rental car and "tested the waters"... so to speak...

I went thru the Drive-thru and ordered in my best enFemme (falsetto) voice and then went to the pick-up window... the girl and boy at the window collected my payment and handed me my purchase... with a smile I said "thank you" and they replied "Have a good evening Ma'am"...I was thrilled!... I smiled and drive back to my Motel room ( I was out of town on a jobsite)... it was most thrilling... I was so nervous... even the front desk clerk (a girl) was very receptive to my attire... she smiled as I walked past to go to my room... I expected stares and snickers... Just was acting like I was tired and hungry but a Lady regardless... and they seemed to believe it... I hope everyone has such a wonderful experience... but be careful it has been a few years since I did that... and people are acting pretty ignorant in some areas.

What works for me is just be "yourself" i dont want to do a "put on" to seem female....Im just me and just be yourself i feel

Hi, I used a theme party to go out in femme for the first time. It was a great way to test the waters, it also gave me confidence. The funny thing is I thought I looked terrible, but the comments I got was anything but, some people couldn't even tell. In hindsight I believe we are our worse critics...as the night went by I became more confident and relaxed, in the end it appeared that no one really cared.

The first few times out were the hardest 4 me, but regardless of how you look, you've got to f'ing OWN IT! The way I see it, when I'm out in public as (Slutty) Krissy, it becomes MY world. From the moment I step out of the safety of my car, in this episode of life, I'm gonna B the central character! That's right, they're in MY world, and I'm the STAR!! And I JUST GLOW because I am so F'ing UNIQUE!!!! I'm no drone, or Lemming..I am Krissy and one of a very SPECIAL group of people who are brave enough to EMBRACE their innermost desires. And that carries over, and people pick up on your happiness, and Life just turned GOOD for the rest of your outing. U R in da ZONE, baby!!! PASS!

Wishing YOU the very best in life,

Krissy

I like your style..cut right to the bone!

I'm a first time crossdresser I'm 52 years old I've only been doing it now for maybe 4 months can anyone give me pointers for going out PLEASE !!!
