When I first started crossdressing my worst fear was that I would run into someone I knew and they would recognize me.
That was followed closely by a full on outing and scene in a public place.
Neither of those ever happened – it’s amazing that what we fear sometimes never comes to pass.
What is your biggest crossdressing fear?
I have to admit I've never been out to a public place dressed, probably for fear of recognition & ridicule. I know that when dressed I look like a man in a dress. I've no problem with that but I'm no that but I'm no trend setter & am very self conscious. That being said I have gone for a drive dressed before & I've started wearing makeup (in male attire) when driving to & from work (I used to be very nervous doing that but have found myself getting more confident). I take it off before going into work or into the house, which I hate having to do xx
Like most of the comments here, i too fear being caught or seen by some one who recognises me. Being agoraphobic doesn't help either. I also live in a small town and have done for 22 years. i have some friends here who know of Bronwyn but have never appeared dressed in front of them. The only give away to my cd life is my long manicure nails which i don't put colour on except a clear glossy coat. I also have 2 earrings in each ear and have hair long enough to wear in a pony tail.Being a big person [6ft and 180lbs] makes it difficult for me to blend in if i was dressed. Bronwyn
my worst fear is comeing into contact with a hostile persom that wants to get fisicale because of me being dressed its not that i can't defend myself because i can. part of my training is to not fight and i truelyget angry with myself i hurt someone i want embcrace people not damage them.peace and hugs Rhae
My fear is the fear itself. I am planning to go out for the first time in two weeks on a business trip and am scared. I am aware of all the things I need to do, to wear, etc., but am so nervous. I haven't worn a dress or skirt since I was 13, when it was totally natural to do all the time. Decades later, I worry. And I'll be in a huge city, with no idea where to go with, or who to go with. Any suggestions are wonderfully appreciated.

My greatest fear is not looking acting or sounding feminine enough. I know I shouldn't worry, but I do. I so want to be seen and treated like I was a woman. DD
It would be the lack of support. I would not consider such a thing unless I had some kind of peer support; and in my case it would need to be a woman to provide that; in a sense she would be a role model, if you would, for the occasion. She would also have to apply her cosmetic skills for me since whoever that woman would be she would, I would assume, have plenty of experience in that area.
It would be funny, though, if on that "date" that we would attract other guys. Could be a comic story line, no? ha ha And let's say I would be the target of some guys affections in a restaurant or bar (though I do not drink). Could be halarious for a guy to try to hit up on me! So, that is where the peer support would prove valuable. lol
Being hit on while dressed as Rose would be incredible!
My biggest fear? That's a good question. I think if you boil it all down, it's not the fear of getting caught but rather the fear of rejection.
My worst fear would easily be getting arrested!
I live in the UAE and cross dressing is illegal here, so any appearances by Amanda have to be at private gatherings.
I recently went over to a friend's place fully dressed. I was nervous as hell leaving my apartment and taking the elevator down to the car park and my stomach was in knots driving over to her place, but I arrived without incident and confidently strode into her building and signed in with security as Amanda. It was risky but I'm glad I did it.
That would be okay with me 🙂

I guess my biggest fear is bumping into someone who would tell my children. I have gone out in public numerous times and never had any real problems. I had a vehicle accident, got stopped by the police, had my car break down and had to be towed, etc. Each time it all worked out. All those fears we have are usually about things that are solvable. I used to be so nervous about buying clothes and then i realized that the worst that could happen was that the salesgirl would laugh at me. It never happened. When you go out be aware of your surroundings and you should be ok.
