Caught underdressing

Ive had to undress whilst wearing a bra and panties to doctors and hospital appointments (and i also remove all my body hair) and have never felt that i was 'caught out' z but i can understand how someone would feel that way.

I think there (hopefully) comes a time in all crossdressers lives where they dont feel awkward when these encounters take place,.be it, doctors, airports ect.

Maybe its a question of confidence - after all, clothes are just material that covers our bodies , and i doubt any doctor is that interested in what someone is wearing.

Given that I wear panties and a bra full time, I have been caught as you describe it too many times to count.

I have been patted down by law enforcement on multiple occassions without issue. While most of these were for security upon entrance to court or airports, one occassion was when I was being booked due to a misunderstanding with the court.  I was actaully surprised that officers said nothing during that occassion given how security and safety conscious jails typically are.

As for doctors, nurses, and other medical staff, none have ever made any comments aside from a few compliments and inquries where I had purchase a specific item.  The most humorous occassion was when an x-ray tech asked me to pull my bra strap down as it was interferring with her attempts to image my shoulder.  She chuckled that it was not a request she thought she would ever make of a man.  I responded that breasts are breasts, and comfort is comfort.  She had a good laugh with that.

I did have this happen while at a routine doctors appointment, the nurse said ok you are getting a shot today so pull your pants down at your hip, just a little butt cheek is all I need for the shot. I did as requested knowing she could see my panty line!

I didn't get caught so much as revealed myself. And it was only toenail polish. Small thing I know, but I've just begun letting the word out.

At 6 month check up, I Didn't expect to have to take my socks off, but nurse practioner told me to take my pants and socks off. I'll be back.
Had my socks down to my dark polished toes when she came back in.

"There's something I need to tell you"
I told her some of the back story, including its connection to my lifelong alcohol abuse. She said
" Mental health affects physical health.

Nurse comes in to do ekg. I guess you see this. She hadn't noticed before that.
We end up talking about nail polish.

Something I had feared so long was in reality, a very positive thing.

Bad things are always possible, but the truth CAN set you free.
As you know there's nothing like that freedom.

Yes, accepting yourself and having confidence are game changers.

Still feeling that fear of recognition attracts more attention than going about your business self counciously.

I once had to have a procedure and, although I don't underdress, I shave my body. The nurses just got on with the job and one commented about my hairless legs, and only the legs, commenting on it. She asked if I was a cyclist and I just mumbled yes. She then followed 'There are always reasons' and did so with that'look' women have. She knew.

I woke up one morning and forgot to take my makeup off. I walked across the street to the corner store for some coffee, and the guy I talked to almost everyday was looking at me very strange…I went home and walked in the bathroom and froze when I looked in the mirror. I was pretty embarrassed at the time but I continued to go there and he never said a word to me and things continued as normal 🤷‍♂️

I had a dermatology appointment a couple months ago.  I was nervoius when I went as I shave from the neck down and my toes were painted pink.  I had to undress and put on a gown.  When the nurse came back in the room she told me how nice my toes looked.  The PA who saw me didn't say anything and neither of them mentioned me being shaved.  I was worried about something I shouldn't have been.  (Being a retired nurse I should have known that but when you're on the other side it's different)

As I regularly present fully as a woman in all public settings including work and work related meetings, and pass very well for most, I can't really claim I've been caught underdressing. But it has provided for several occasions of surprise, ranging from awe to disbelief from people whoo previously knew or had to be informed about my birth sex and legal status as male, both privately and professionally. As recently as in late March this year I travelled from Sweden to US to attend the Keystone conference in Harrisburg PA, bringing only female clothes for the five days trip.

"She asked if I was a cyclist"

When I was in my early 20s, I did race bicycles and did shave my legs. Too bad that I didn't realise that I was on to something. 😀

Recently, I had an inguinal hernia repaired. My hope was to get open surgery with a wire repair, the Shouldice way, but the woman doctor that eventually did the surgery used mesh. I had prepared for the open surgery by eliminating my groin and abdominal hair.

Come inspection day, I was ready to present my bare self and wore dark panties (not sure that she noticed). She was professional and didn't mention a thing about either. Not sure what I will wear to my follow-up inspection.

On another occassion, I almost got caught wearing pull up stockings at a doctor's office, but I hope to learn from that experience.

I am sure doctors and nurses have seen all kinds of things, but I didn't expect to see the police (above) being so nonchalant about it. Live and learn.

Not of which I’m aware.

Here's an extract from my CDH article on "Transformal was great, but I wont be going... back".

Back in 2017, I was at my second CD conference at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, when I had a reoccurance of my long standing back pain problem and had to find a chiropractor on a Saturday afternoon.

From past bitter travel experience, I do carry some heavy duty painkillers for such occurrences, but of course next day, I’m not much use to anyone! Especially when the painkillers wear off the next day. Thus, instead of joining in all the interesting Saturday day events, including volunteering for a bra fitting, the wonderful Carrington Hotel reception staff found me a chiropractor who was open on Saturday. So, she who does not own a smart phone to find one herself, is into the car for yet another one hour drive!

Of course by this stage, I’ve got the false nails firmly glued on and I’m wearing my blue “two day” wristband. I’d also left what I thought were some “unisex undies” on. But when the chiro pulled down my jeans at the back to adjust me, his exact words were “Oh Boy the undies”. Hey, at least I’d taken my breast forms off. Plan “A” was to have them attached all weekend!!

Caty.
