Crossdressing in Public

I dress at my work since I permanently work from home 🙂

I’ve not gone out dressed yet, working my way up to that.

Based on another thread on here actually, my next step is to answer the door dressed to the mail man, delivery driver etc.  My big problem is my face!

Apart from it not being that great to look at, I have a beard and am struggling to win the argument with wife to shave it off.  For me, that’s a hurdle as with a beard (well goatee), make up would just look ridiculous.  I’m considering wearing a mask to hide it as it wouldn’t exactly look out of place at the moment.

Only been dressing ‘properly’ since beginning of this year so hopefully I’m not behind the progress curve too much hehe.

Hi Jayla...

I’m dressing more and more in public and have reached a point where it becomes self-evident that I shall one day soon abandon all the various little excuses why I shouldn’t.
Today for example I braved the local pharmacy where I’m well known. I went primarily to reintroduce myself as Polly. The reactions were all surprised but affirming and positive. An obvious curiosity of course but nothing short of ‘well done you’!
I continued on to the supermarket and was complimented by another unknown woman for my outfit and all over appearance!
Tomorrow I have a meeting with our local Member of Parliament and I shall present as Polly... not the drab male that booked the meeting in the first place.
So... long story made longer... I am finding it more and more comfortable out in public as all of the contact I’ve had with people and friends have been nothing short of wonderful.

Hugs Polly

Hi Rachel, I had a similar experience with the beard thing... my wife liked my gotee but I knew I had to get rid of it..I’m 46 so it was starting to get grey, I let my wife know I hated the grey and i didn’t want to have to keep up with coloring it... I decided to slowly thin it out, over a couple weeks ( to get her and me used to it)  until one night recently I shaved it off completely... she is ok with it!

good luck

❤️

I’m not there just yet. I will get there reading all these stories actually is helping to build my confidence. Hugs Katey

Hi Jayla

The more you do it the easier it gets. I Wear a uniform to work so no joy there. Out in public I realised that the thing that probably made me stand out most would have been dressing inappropriately for the situation, and nerves. Initially was so nervous it was probably noticeable for example not making eye contact with people, suddenly changing direction to avoid groups of school kids, or men🤣, or fidgety in clothes. The more you relax and dress appropriately the more you enjoy it. Never had any bad experiences outdoors, mostly apathy, people are too wrapped up in their own lives. Best advice, stand tall be confident, and own it!

Hi honey, being in the UK it's essential travel only ATM. I dress most of the time when I leave the house. I work as Trisha, Shop as Trisha and strech my legs (wouldn't call it exercise just s post Covid walk) as Trisha. I'm yet to receive one negative comment. I know I'm made regularly as I haven't started working on my voice yet.

At work every one has been amazing. Not one person has an issue with my attire. The woman there always comment on my outfit, I'm actually starting to feminise the place. The conversation turns to make-up and clothing so much more often now. One woman seeing that I put on a show has sharted to show her clothes before changing into uniform. I work for a food chain. A lovely group of women have taken me under their wing. It's looking the happiest time of my life.

In public-Absolutely and all the time. If I dress I go out, solo or to meet friends. I find my time out living like a regular female to be rather intoxicating. The simple things in life are so wonderful.

At work-No and zero desire. There is not any reason that I can think of to dress at work. This said though I have done work in fem at coffee shops on my laptop. A nice way to spend a small amount of time but not a goal.

Only had a couple of times going out in public. I don't count the several times went out to stop at a nearby rest stop, to only be seen from a distance. This past fall went to Ulta to have my now shoulder length hair colored and afterward went shopping. Then the following week window shopping at the local mall ( wore a sundress). With the opportunity to hide behind the covid mask it was much easier.
I am hoping by spring I have recovered enough from my surgery ( had knee replacement 3 weeks ago) to go out to some of these places again.

I have noticed that once I go out enfemme I crave more of it. But as time passes between trips that craving changes to ehh then to nervous again. The chances for me to go out has been seldom but only because of schedule I have set for myself. Work and shop time has dominated the winter as thats when I make the cheddar so I can support my hobby. Plus I don't care much for winter at all. I have some terrific spring outfits ready to go and am not so patiently waiting for the weather to break.

Gwyneth, yep everyone says I look like a baby now 🤣...but I’m glad the gotee is gone... now I can play with makeup

I do get out as debbie at least one day a week and mostly more often depending on weather or mood. I go out now not thinking much about it as it is normal for me now. I did work en femme for about six months in a thrift shop which was a wonderful and natural experience but had to leave eventually for more money. Still thrilling but no longer nervous as time went by

I like going out, though I don't often get the opportunity. Work? Well... not exactly. I wear earrings that are increasingly feminine, clear mascara, brow makeup, lip color that's close to natural but not quite. Of course bra and panties, but nobody sees that. All the way? I don't see it happening.

Hi Jayla.

Grace goes out lots...I love the buzz, the rush. It really is a confidence thing...keeping calm, not panicking...don't think everyone in the world has the same mission...to look at you!!..

Everyone has their own agenda...is there a cd watchers club ???

I just go about my own business, if I'm noticed, I don't really care anyway...I'm grace, live with it...!!

Just my thoughts...huggs xx

My prefer mode of dress is more and more frequently to wear women's clothes. I rarely present as woman regardless how I may be dressed. My experience has been positive with the few negative experiences being few and far between. Work, however, remains one of two areas where my freedom of dress is most restricted.  To be honest, I often war with myself whether to speak to HR on that note.
