How are you viewed in drab?

I am just an average guy. Mid build, mid-height, just another face in the crowd. That is partly why I like to dress. Even if read, I stand out a bit, which is fine by me. While I try to pass, I don't really care if I do or don't. Dressing en femme makes me a bit unique which I enjoy.

Regular guy bordering on alpha male. 6'2" 200lbs hard to to hide.  Have always wished I had a more fem look.  I am now working to bring out a bit more of stephanie out side the home with some body shaping pierced ears and other jewelry.  At 64 taking definite steps to realize my dream. Better late than never.

I mirror you in size shape, 10 years older. Clock is ticking faster for me. So my changes seem to come faster, thus friction in the marriage.

I'm not a macho dude for sure, average shape and size but with long hair. I don't know if I project as the sensitive guy that I am, but most people I come in contact with seem to be able to open up to me and some times share more than I need to know. I'd rather that than to be unapproachable.

Average looking 64 year old guy.  Grey hair, clean shaven.  need to lose 20 lbs.

"Apologies for MTF CD bias but that seems to be the overwhelming majority on CDH"

No apology needed Megan.  Effeminate guy was the closest option (not very).  Woman (why are you dressed as a man) doesn't apply because I don't own any guy clothes.

Being part of the small trans minority on CDH, I "male fail" regularly.  Meaning I get gendered female....usually with little or no effort to look female.  26 months of HRT will do that.

I have a women's pixie but colored blonde, always carry a women's designer purse, am usually in women's sandals with red toenails. There is no way that I could be mistaken for an alpha male LOL

I am a big Sissy and proud of it. There should have been another category "Super Sissy".

This is a very good question - and one that is terribly difficult to answer.  I think I probably come across as just an average male, but I hope I come across as sensitive or even evolved... though that may be more a matter of how I dress rather than how I come across as a person... maybe?  Based on my normal boy clothing, no-one is ever going to think of me as anything other than... well... let's be honest - the ultimate slob.  Based on my general personna, however, I hope that sensitive is the least I come across as...  Just glad that I look (I hope!) better as a girl than a boy...  Not that that is saying much...  Holly XXX

Just an average Joe who is age appropriate.

I am viewed as a Woman!

Like Emily, I am a trans woman, I am also an intersex female, I haven't presented in drab for over 18 months. I don't think there's a single piece of male clothing in my home. If I were to wear any drab attire I would be viewed as an effeminate guy.

I'm seen differently by everyone. The only time I wear guy clothes is when I'm working on the car or house. I wear wemens cloths even when presenting as a man. For example at work. Sometimes on the weekend Sarah covers for Dave. Yet during the week I wear things that could be male but they're not. More often I just don't care and wear something that obviously came from the wemens dept. Other guys at work  have confided that they dress at home. I've been thanked for being me. Other people glare at me like a disapproving father. Those that don't talk to me probably see me as gay. Those that do find a sensitive, caring guy who looks hot in a dress. In the bedroom I focus on my patners needs. Male or female. Let me know what you think ladies. I'm not sure which choice above fits me.

Sadly, my crossdressing life remains personal and private, so even though in my earlier years I considered myself "passable" and did go out into the public, fully dressed, as in my male presentation, I choose to just "blend into the crowd" and not "stick out" as that sore thumb...the only difference, as a male, I'm considered "loud and obnoxious" by those who know me.....as "Tiny"..."seen but not heard"....!!! I envy all of you who have the freedom, strength and independence to "just be the real you", 24/7 or as often as is possible...I can only dream of the time I might be able to have this experience....yet, I'm happy with all that I DO have...taking whatever I can get at this time in my life...!!!

You're so very pretty, Holly Marie...!!!

I selected regular Joe. I'm usually in jeans and an appropriate shirt for the weather. At home I usually hang out in shorts or sweats . weather dependent. I have been told that I can some across as intimidating, I guess 20 years in the military will do that.
