One of my regular readers, Tia, suggested an interesting topic: how do you get out of the house en femme without tipping off the neighbors? Are you sneaky about it or do you simply walk out with your head held high?
I must admit that I have never had much trouble leaving my house while dressed. But that won’t stop me from writing about the subject anyway!
It Depends on Your Situation
The answer obviously depends on your living situation. If you are out to anyone who might see you leaving, you can simply walk out wearing all your feminine finery. Perhaps your home is situated so that the neighbors cannot easily see who comes and goes.
Others may need to be more discreet. If you live in an apartment, condominium, mobile home park or another densely populated setting, your neighbors may see you coming and going regularly. That presents an entirely different challenge.
Sneaky Ways to Get Out
If you must be careful, you have a few options.
Perhaps the easiest—but most expensive—is to stay at a hotel for the night. Pack everything in a suitcase and check in as your male self. Then change in your room before heading out en femme.
There can still be a few tense moments. The front-desk staff or other guests might see you coming and going. You may even have to share an elevator ride, which could put the quality of your femulation to the test!
Another method is to get mostly dressed at home, then cover everything with loose-fitting male clothing. Carry your wig and makeup in a bag, put on a hat and sunglasses and hurry to your car. Drive somewhere private or secluded where you can complete your transformation.
It may be a little nerve-racking, but it gets the job done.
Or you could simply take a deep breath, hold your head high and walk confidently out the front door. After all, neighbors usually have far less interest in our comings and goings than we imagine.
I’ll Be Back
How do you get out of the house en femme? Do you sneak out unnoticed, use a clever strategy or simply walk out as if it were the most natural thing in the world?

Started with sneaking but evolved to just walking out the door. I do have a garage with automatic doors so could just pull out without wig and put it on later. But that was the old days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for responding Donna. Glad you are able to get out with minimal issues. JJ
DeleteSneaking out while "en femme"?
ReplyDeleteYou might say I do the opposite. Yesterday morning I went to church "en femme" while wearing a dress, makeup, and heels. Nobody reacted as that is what John does. I also go shopping, walking, to doctor appointments, etc. while wearing dresses.
I don't get hassled or threatened in any way.

Good to hear John! You own it!! JJ
DeleteUsually I get en femme any place but at home. First, I don't store my girly stuff at home, so there's that. I rent a room in a house along with another CD. There used to be three of us that rented this room, which is basically a lot of clothing dressers, and racks full of dresses, mirrors and a vanity table, and a bathroom. Everything a boy needs to change into a girl. Even the neighborhood is perfect for coming and going, dressed as either sex . One of our roomies passed, so any gurls out there who need a private, secure place to store their finery and get en femme, in Mineola NY, let me know, we need a third to share the very low rent. email me at tamifeminine@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteI also have gotten dressed at dressing services like Femme Fever, and at 'regular' salons, but never at my place of residence.
Interesting solution Tami. Hadn't thought of that one. JJ
DeleteI always thought it would be fun to walk openly out the door and give the neighbors something to talk about. "Who is that beautiful woman he is seeing?" Although I've never fully 100% femulated and left the house, so this is just a hypothetical fun idea.
ReplyDeleteFun ideas are the seed from which beautiful experiences grow. JJ
DeleteDuring day or simply under sunlight, I get mostly dressed at home. I carry my wig in a bag, put on a hat and hurry to my car. I drive somewhere I can complete my transformation. Under the guise of night I am a little more brave. It is all so difficult as I identify now as a trans (there are many different) and not out other than to my adult daughter who simply tolerates and wants my presence to be private to my granddaughter and persons of share awareness - with the exception of one lady who guessed as much.
ReplyDeleteThe complexities of family certainly has an impact on how we get out. Thanks for sharing your experience. JJ
