Do transvestites take more of a risk going out in public in womens clothes, rather than dress as a woman?

Question

Sometimes I just don't want the makeup and the longhair, I would rather just wear a top / jeans and high heels. But I guess society still ain't ready for that and believe you are straight. Is it worth then, trying to dres fully and pass as female, or just go with what you think? after all when women started wearing trousers I think the sane majority did'nt think that women were trying to be men - it was just an item they wanted to wear.

I did actually go out to a few places and it seemed fine, but as one YA put it, it depends on where you live. I know we live in strange times so will be careful. Thank you for all the solid and fair views.

Answer 1

yaokay, you made a point which not many other people would make, but does 'dressing fully' mean you pass as female, because you can wear women's clothes without dressing as (or looking like) a woman at all.

~edit
i think people would think pretty differently of you if you went out in 'normal' women's clothing, or things that you could wear everyday as opposed to like, a ball gown or something. they would probably take you more seriously or have more respect or something, i don't know, i hadn't thought about it.
but you would get a lot less attention, but some people like the attention, i suppose
actually rereading it it's a good question

men can and do wear saris, it's an indian thing. i think it's a western attitude that only women do, probably because they could be kind of like dresses

Answer 2

For goodness sake it you wish to wear ladies top and jeans do it. Believe me people are more concerned with what they are about than what someone passing by is wearing. I have been out in a maids uniform, evening dress, a nurses uniform and the only time anybody took any notice of me was when I was wearing a scarlet rubber cape and hood with gold buttons.
I saw a guy one day in Stroud market place sitting on a seat wearing a sari. No make-up, wig or anything to make him look feminine. I intended to have a word with him but I needed the loo rather badly and when I came out he had gone. However I did not notice anyone being concerned or taking any notice apart from me and of course as I was interested I did look round for that sort of reaction

Answer 3

very reliable element. maximum transvestites suggestion centers advise human beings a thank you to look convincing like a woman to 'bypass' and if everyone 'surpassed' no person may be attentive to they have been adult men dressed as women human beings, so as that they does not could face up to the reality. Transvestites could positioned on what they like, how they like. i be attentive to a minimum of one that went into Burtons dressed as a guy, they seem to be a adult men's outfits shop, yet that they had tennis skirts, so he bought one, positioned it on and walked out the save donning it. It takes each style. The transvestites in Little Britain, even the only with a moustache, are completely appropriate.

Personally I think it should not matter hun, what you wear, how you wear it, and what you do. As long as you dont hurt others does it really matter. Sadley not everyone shares my views, and there are people out that that feel they occupy some kind of moral higher ground, and wont accept anything that is outside of some so called idealogical norm. This means you have to obide by things that are all way way messed up! I say just sod it and do what you like, but you do have to be aware of these people, who will can and do make things hard for you hun x Good luck any how !

Answer 5

You wear what you want ,it,s only you who has to live with it and you harm nobody.You cannot tell a proper ladyboy,they are normally undetectable.Many items of female under wear makes the male items look prehistoric.there is nothing worse looking than a pair of wrinkled badly fitting y fronts,positively agricultural gear.The materials used in womens gear is vastly superior,but the men are getting better materials these days.

Answer 6

Dressed in jeans or a dress makes no diffrence, i go out in what i feel like wearing and have done so for the past 50 years

Answer 7

dude, i just say to wear what you want. Yes, you're going to get people who stare at you, maybe even someone who says something. It's a shock to a lot of people, especially those who don't get out. But there will also be people who just don't care what you're wearing. Besides, the more you do it, the more you won't even notice people looking anymore, and the more comfortable you will become.

Answer 8

Transvestites take a risk of harrasment no matter what they go out in public wearing. Some outfits will attract attention more than others and some locations will attract more attention than others. While I advise caution, I also advise you to wear what you want to wear. And to be comfortable enough with yourself to wear it.

Answer 9

You should be able to wear what you like. As a 100% heterosexual man I couldn't care less what you wore. There are a lot of opinionated, bigoted idiots out there though.

Jim Davidson anyone?

Answer 10

I am all for you wearing what you want, but I am not sure society is
