Tonight I rushed home and shaved, pot on some pink panties, black pantyhose, a knee length black dress 5” heels some makeup and a brunette wig. Went for a drive, stopped to fill my truck with fuel then drove around a bit more. On the way home I went into the local Handy Mart to grab some beer. The woman at the counter said something about Halloween. I acted surprised and told her I didn’t realize it was Halloween, she laughed and said it takes a hell of a man to dress as a woman for Halloween. I’m not passable no matter how much makeup I wear or how good my wig is. I’m bald so growing out my own hair is not an option but I hate wigs. So that makes me want to ask you all a question. Does anyone go out without a wig or with natural long hair? I have gone into a store before 2 or 3 times in a dress or yoga pants in heels and a top sporting fake breasts in s bra and no one said a word to me. I’m thinking about ditching the wig from now on. Kind of like Liz Taylor on that one season of American Horror Story, she was my favorite character in that season of that show.
<p style="text-align: left;">Hi Keelee,</p>
I sympathize. At times I love wearing a wig but at others it can be a real pain, especially in summer. Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to just go out however you feel. Sometimes I love the whole process of getting ready to go out - doing the makeup, tidying up the wig etc. But sometimes I with I could just swap my trousers for a skirt.
I was out on Halloween as well (in full fem mode). A young lady complemented me in my "costume" and I said that I actually dress like this normally. She was very apologetic and told me how much my clothes suited me, which was pretty cool of her.
I guess this question is finding the balance of how much we dress to feel like ourselves and how much we dress for comfortable interactions with the rest of the world.
Halloween or not, for me, I am not ready to face the world in femme up close and personal but I have thought about it more and more.
As for wigs, I'm blessed for not having to wear one as my own hair certainly makes do but always looking for other ways in improving my looks. Going out and about is a wonderful thing as it does take time but when it finally does happens, what a remarkable feeling. I missed this year's opportunity for Halloween as it would be quite easy to blend in but any chances to venture is a wonderful time and especially if there's no problems. But no matter how it goes were always excited and looking forward to when it could happen it again.

I take one look in the mirror, and it's a wig for me.
My gender dysphoria says no way am I looking like a total man in a dress, it's not what I can tolerate in myself.
I've seen plenty of men, including men with beards in dresses, make-up, everything but the wig.
It takes all sorts to make a world, and no-one has a right to tell you how to look but you.
Enjoy your dressing!

I am also folicly challenged. Is that a word? But I have to put on a wig. It makes me feel so much like a woman. I've got to shave apply my makeup and get all dressed up. I just don't have the confidence to go anywhere without my hair! Well that is if I went out...sigh...lol

It's not the image I'm trying to create - and, before I got my first dress, I had no idea that I wanted the full image, breasts, hairless limbs and makeup - the image, not the reality!
I don't think that makes me a fake any more than a shave and a haircut makes other men fakes - or beard oil...

Keeler, you are a girl after my own heart. I tried a wig a few times. I absolutely hated it. I felt like I was hiding who I was. For me, I know now, it has never been about being a woman. It is about being me. I am a man and I don't want to hide that. In general, I dress how I wish to each day whether that is menswear or womenswear. And when it is womenswear, I am not hiding that I am a man. I have military short hair and a goatee that my wife loves. If anyone doubts that I am a man in a dress, they are beyond blind. That being said, I say go for it. It doesn't have to be about being a woman, but it should be about being you.

I've done both. I have been out in a skirt, +/- stockings, without a wig more often then not. Same on the beach, in a bikini with short hair and otherwise male appearing. I do enjoy a wig and full make up at times as well.
Find what you enjoy and are comfortable with. I love wearing a skirt, they are just so damn comfortable.
