crossdressing in public?

Question

I am thinking about taking my crossdressing self out in public but want to be able to pass how do i go about this?

Answer 1

Before you step out in public, observe genetic females and their mode of dress. Once you have a general idea, dress in a like outfit and check yourself out in the mirror. If you are questionable about yourself. Get someone who knows about you and your cross dressing to check you out dressed and ask for their honest opinion. Once you are ready to go, do so with the same gusto you would do in male attire. The first time you stop and feel unsure is when you will be read as a male in female attire. If you have a masculine face you may want to use cosmetics to give it a more feminine look. when you go out do so in Conservative clothes, only hookers go out dressed to the nines and heavy makeup. That is a sure give -a- way. I know all this because I am an inter-sexed person who was raised as the wrong gender and now I live 24/7 as a female. Enjoy.

"passing" is difficult in the best of times. Unless you have very feminie features and a voice, it's difficult to do and you have literally years of male posture and walk to overcome. Find someone to give you good makeup tips and check out several different types to see what really looks best on you. Don't go totally femme (short skirt, high heels, tight top, etc) unless you want to "be read" by everyone. Look at how other GG's are dressing and dress to blend in if you want to pass. Many CD/TV's find that most larger stores have taught thier personnel that no matter what it looks like, if it has money, treat it special. Also most good salespeople would rather have a sale than potentially lose thier job! If you know any cosmotologists or costume makeup people, they can be great sources. Some great insight can be found at www.crossdressers.com and it can put you into touch with others that have gone out for the first time in public. Good Luck and enjoy!

Hmmm...shave your legs if you're going to be showing them, and make sure you don't have a five o'clock shadow. Wear some makeup, but don't overdo it. At least wear some foundation, because men and women's skin can have a diff texture. Since I don't know what your hair is like, I can't give advice there. I wouldn't try a miniskirt or minidress the first time, because guy's legs look diff from girl's legs--and miniskirts are hard for anyone, girls included, to pull off. It takes us years of training (i.e., all of junior high and high school) to get the hang of it. :)

What gives a lot of guys away is their posture and style of walking, so practice that before you go out. Stand up straight, and try to tread more lightly (I'm not sure how else to put it). Maybe walking in heels will help you get the hang of it, if you haven't spent a lot of time in them already. Get a girl friend's help if you can, because she'll be able to coach you. And ask a few friends (guys and girls) to watch you walk and see your outfit, and they can give you pointers too.

Then if you still feel nervous, start gradually and build up. But I think it's cool that you're doing that--a guy I know crossdresses (I'm not sure how much in public). We had a class together last semester, and we would sit around trading compliments on our outfits and tips on makeup. I admired him for being able to talk about it so comfortably, especially since he didn't know me all that well. So kudos, and have fun!

Make yourself as passable as possible. There are plenty of great sites to help guide you on this.

work with your g/f or a good female friend.

try it out in a large city where such practice isn't unusual, and get comfortable and confident doing it in a place where no one knows you.

get your girlfriend to help.
