Going Public
With Robin Jean
Anyone Can Pass
Anyone can pass! That may sound like a profound statement but I believe that anyone who is determined and prepared to make some compromises can pass as an authentic woman. It's important however, to know your capabilities and limitations and possess the determination to function within those parameters. We should not define passing simply as being extraordinary beautiful or having a super figure or wearing trendy clothes.
All too often what we wear and how we make ourselves up is guided blindly by our own personal fetishes rather than what makes us look womanly. Natural hair versus a wig, Mini Skirt rather than something conservative. Slacks, long sleeves, makeup or no makeup. These are just some of the things we should keep in mind in determining what will create our most credible feminine image
Wearing ones own natural hair is extremely important to some girls and may be of greater significance than actually passing. However, rare are those among us who are fortunate enough to get by with natural hair and the desire to do so can cloud ones ability to make critical decisions about how they look. A masculine face will look softer and more feminine if framed by a large full wig
Most of us fantasize about being glamorous and having curvaceous figures. We like to show a lot of leg and wear very high heels. Many of us have those special little personal things that make us feel womanly but give little thought to the fact that they may be detrimental to passing.
We need to extract the most from the equipment nature has bestowed upon us. If ya aint got it ya can't flaunt it. If you don't have shapely legs then it is imperative that you cover them, at least most of them. If you have manly arms wear long sleeves, unless showing a lot of skin is more important than passing. If you have narrow hips all the cinching in the world isn't going to hide those wide, out of proportion shoulders, you may need pads Honey!
As I approach senior citizen status I have had to make sacrifices which I must admit were long overdue by the time reality finally hit me over the head. The quantity of slacks and long skirts in my closet are slowly overtaking the miniskirts of years gone by. Today I wear mostly slacks and long skirts and actually feel more comfortable being just another lady in the crowd rather than attracting attention by exploiting a sexy outfit.
There are things we can do to make our not so girlish legs look shapelier. My approach to this problem is to wear boots on those rare occasions when I feel like doing a little showing off in a short skirt. Boots are not only very sexy but will accentuate the remaining exposed part of the leg while camouflaging what for many of us is the most unfemine portion of our legs between the ankle and knee.
On the other hand there are those who may feel that passing is impossible because of physical characteristics, too tall, too heavy, too manly looking, etc., etc. Women come in all shapes and sizes and obviously not all women are attractive. Consequently, it is not necessary to be a raving beauty in order to blend in with the feminine gender. You should proceed with and perfect the physical talents you have rather than trying to achieve some impossible fantasy. Determine how your shape and size can most effectively be transformed then work on perfecting your ideal image.
It's a hit and miss proposition, not everything you try is going to work, but don't be discouraged. My closet is loaded with items that have never seen the light of day. Observe what well-dressed women who are in close proximity to your size are wearing. I get most of my ideas from watching genetic females.
There is no reason why anyone who has the desire, should not be Going Public.
