I guess being caught can be just about anything by anybody, but how often is being caught involve being recognized?
No doubt if you are caught by your spouse she will know it's you, but how about being g ouy in public? Some times we are caught crossdressing by random people who dont know us from Adam, so aside from possible embarrassment, no harm no foul. How often has anybody been out and seen by a friend, relative or aquantence?
I suspect that unless we are in a real small community or going to familiar events it is rare. When done up with hair and makeup and dressing totally different then we normally do few would be able to recognize us. Just a hat and sunglasses does wonders for hiding ones identity, so I would think when are pretty unrecognizable when dressed. That is not to say that we might be called out as Male in women's clothes, I have , in a nice way (the guy wanted to get up my skirt. I declined.)
I just started going out in public for the first time since I was a teenager I have recognized that most people are on their phones or just to busy to care I worry about being clocked but I am not scared about my safety it might not be lady like to say but I think I could still fight in a dress and Pantyhose and heels I would be more afraid of getting a run in my pantyhose LoL 😜💋
I live in a suburb of Charlotte, I doubt I would be recognized walking Charlotte business district or most bars/clubs (not likely to get me in the door). I do worry about local, I drive some less common cars and not ready for that but, caught by my wife, that is beyond my comprehension in how bad that would be.
As for personal safety, if I have been out it is usually an unsavory place and I do have a tendency to act out some with no intention letting things get too far. Being who I am, I try to be "nice" to everyone.
Some guys have seemed seriously frustrated, and there is a dark parking lot to get back to the safety of my car. Just a thin skirt and panties I have felt kind of vulnerable.
Last year I was in shiny pantyhose, platform wedges, short summer dress, nice firm breasts, pretty blonde hair and mirror sunglasses. I felt like showing my legs off so I headed out to do some errands.
One of m stops was the ATM. I backed the car into a spot across the parking lot from the ATM. One reason was I would be facing people who could see my legs when I opened the car door to show them off. The other reason is if things don't go well driving forward out of the spot takes less time.
I opened up the car door. I was admiring my sexy legs in pantyhose shining in the sunlight. I took a while reaching over and fumbling in the glove box, presenting a different view of my legs. Then I got my bag and made it look, like I was looking for something in it while further displaying my legs. I closed up the bag and stuck my legs out of the car. My feet were on the ground and my already short dress was hiked up even higher. I leaned over reaching over to my bag spreading my legs a little for a teasing up skirt. I got out, stood up, straightened my dress then bent over into the car to get my bag. No doubt those who were watching me got a glimpse of my pretty panties.
I closed the car door and walked across the parking lot to the ATM. I had to wait for a few cars to go by. OK. Maybe a few more saw and enjoyed my legs. I got to the ATM. Put in my card and waited for the money. When it came out I put it in my purse then turned around to go back towards the car. I noticed, right in front of me someone I knew very well. My first thought was to greet him as we always did. But oh s**t. I was Patty. I just walked past him, got in the car and drove off. I saw him a few weeks later, not in Patty mode. We talked and laughed as we always had. I was waiting for a little private conversation about what the hell were you doing? It never happened. he had to notice me as Patty. No way he couldn't, but didn't notice Patty was me. I was caught but not recognized.
As far being out in public I have zero concern for being caught or recognized and have actually put Recognition to a test before. The test went much better then I anticipated.
Now there is one aspect that is of some concern and it's what Jamie St George said about "less common cars". Out of my 2 common driven cars one is very distinguished in all aspects including customizing and I do drive this in fem though not often. The other is more common but has personalized plates-been thinking about ditching those!!! Once after Sandy was out and I arrived home my wife had left a note out for me regarding a friend of ours calling. Note had the basic message scribbled on a card but also written on the card was "Who was the woman driving (guy name here)'s truck?" Not sure if she talked to friend or this came off the VM-I didn't ask. I am in a large community and was likely driving in Tacoma at that point which has a lot of people.
Overall I have no concerns when out whether on foot or driving...
Sandy
FYI, wife never brought it up.
