Busted by the cops...in girl mode

Allys0n I would have needed to change mu undies cause I would likely have peed myself! Congrats o handling yourself with poise and grace and representing the community well!

Cyn

Thanks Cyn, it was a ruff note, but I persevered, just kept my cool and answered the cops questions, no animosity, etc...Hope this helps others in the community in future encounters as well...A

Oh my goodness Alyssa!!!  I would have been an absolute nervous wreck, so good to read that you were able to keep it together and work through it with them.  I have gone on a handful of outings en femme so far, and I had the "what if I get pulled over" thought in my head each outing.

All we can do is just be honest with the officers and answer their questions honestly like you did.  It would not be easy AT ALL, and I am quite certain it would involve tears on my part.  I think it would be so hard to explain to an officer why my ID doesn't match the person they currently have in font of them.

So glad you made it through it without incident!  Thanks for sharing this with us, it's tremendously helpful to know how to approach and handle situations like this.

Thanks for your thoughtful response Lauren, very caring in tone. The takeaway is to be relaxed and poised, no sudden movements, answer all questions, think of a club or event that you were headed to, and be polite and calm. Be careful out there...and safe. A

I am not sure i should have read all the scary stories concerning driving while dressed.  Last week for the first time in my cd life  i drove my car wearing my short denim skirt.  Felt nice, but the thought did occur to me  "what if i got pulled over by the cops."?  May do it again tho.  Bronwyn

I know the feeling, Bronwyn...what if?? The irresistible pull of a CD ride in a nice skirt and sexy pair of heels is too much at times, just be careful when changing, stay alert and you'll be fine. Keep smiling, A

I have heard so many stories about girls driving around en femme and overall very, very few have experienced problems. In most places I am aware of there is no actual laws that prevent us from wearing what we want to. Thus it's likely that only our actions can get us into strife.

One thing some girls do, especially those who can't dress openly at home, is to find a quiet, secluded area to change/dress. The problem there is that when we do things like that if we are observed we can seem furtive or suspicious. I know of a case of a CD who left a support group meeting one night and drove almost all the way home before stopping in a deserted car park to change. Unfortunately her car had been seen entering the car park and driving down behind the now-closed stores. She was partially changed (and thus quite undressed) when a police car arrived. Thankfully she was able to explain the situation, was willing to identify herself and so there was no further action. The police officer though did suggest that "next time" she find a "safer" place to change.

Sometimes our fear of being seen can actually place us in the greatest danger. Be safe ladies. Crossdressing shouldn't be a dangerous activity.

Almost all officers I've met (full disclosure: none of them while en femme) seem like very reasonable people.  Getting questioned by an officer, as long as, as you say, we're forthright with them, would sort-of be the least of my worries.  I worry more about collisions.  I've been involved in three of them, all minor/relatively low speed.  But I always try to tell myself that's only maybe 2 hours of time out of 25 years-worth of driving, so a very, very tiny amount of time by comparison.  Plus only one of them was my fault at all, and very near the beginning of those 25 years, when I was inexperienced.

Yikes, this is one of my biggest fears so I always have my sweat pants and shirt near bye . But driving around dressed up is one of my biggest pleasures , I just feel so damn sexy looking down at my shaved legs and short skirt and the seat belt across my breast forms is such a turn on. I love coming to a stop and applying some lipstick as others look on.

I know what you mean.  One night/early morning, I drove home from the laundromat in a denim miniskirt.  The sexiest ride I've ever had.

I was in the middle of now where this summer and came over a hill to see a police car on the side of the road about a mile ahead and two cops standing in the middle of the road. I panicked and yanked my wig off , yanked the seatbelt to the side and pulled my t shrit over my dress. I grabbed an extra skirt, threw it over my legs and tucked it in like pants legs. I yanked the seatbelt back in place and pulled up to the motioning to stop officers. I asked out of real curiosity, if they were looking for someone and a seriously beautiful lady officer quickly placed her self safely behind my driver's door. Stuck her head in the window almost to a kissing position to my lips and said, " No. We're doing a seatbelt and sobriety check." I busted out laughing and replied, "Well I haven't been drinking and my seatbelts on!!' She was smelling my breath and said, "Have a safe trip" and started laughing herself as I drove away in my high heels, dress sleeves sticking out of my t shirt and the wig on the front seat ! LOL.    PS I did feel bad about the seatbelt thing.

I got stopped at a roadside sobriety check once while I was just out for a Friday night drive. All the cops were male, and rather large strong looking men.
I had done saline injections in my lips, and big pink or red lips does a lot for making my face look more passable. I was wearing a pretty dress under a belted 3/4 trench coat with a nice scarf, and really All Done Up! ...shaved legs, patterned tights, nice light brown shoulder length wig, platform heels, nails done(I think they were blue? acyrlic), wearing Taylor Swift perfume, purse on the front seat, water bottle in the drink holder. I didn't want to have to get out of the car and show them that I was 6 foot 3 in those heels - lol.
I spoke softy in the best femme voice I could muster. They barely bothered with me, shined the flashlight through the car quickly, and waved we through. I don't know if they even knew that I was cross dressed.
But in the city I am from, I'm sure that they see at least a couple of cross-dressers and transsexuals at every road check.
To be honest, I wasn't all that worried about them finding out my genetic identity, because I wasn't breaking any laws.

I am an extreme supporter of our law enforcement officers and the job they do, but I have come across at least one that was a jerk. I had a very bad experience coming home late one night, totally sober, dressed in a mini skirt, low cut top, heels, breastforms, and full wig and makeup. I saw the officer as I passed and he immediately pulled in behind me. He continued following me about a yard off my bumper. I hadn't done anything wrong that I was aware of but I pulled over on my own because he was obviously interested in me for some reason and was making me nervous. He approached and shined his light across my chest then at my legs, while asking me what I was doing driving so late. I told him I was going home from a friend's house and he advised me there had been some "burglaries" in the area so he wanted to know who was out and about late at night. Reasonable as far as I was concerned. His initial attitude was businesslike but friendly, even slightly flirty. He kept shining his light from my chest to my legs as we talked. I didn't mind too much as both were looking pretty good and I don't mind people showing appreciation. My problem began when he asked me for ID. I gave it to him and his demeanor instantly changed when he realized I was not who I had appeared to be. He became very condescending, and started accusing me of being a hooker and looking for "johns". Another officer arrived and the first officer had me exit my vehicle while he expressed his distaste for my lifestyle. The other officer was very professional and appeared very uncomfortable with his partner's behavior. I held my tongue and tried to be as cooperative and ladylike as possible. After several minutes, I was released. I was very humiliated and angry and was going to file a complaint but let it go.

yikes!!! How exciting though!
