Why Dress Up and Go Out?
(by Felicia Conti)
Someone recently asked the question as to why transgendered women like to dress up to the 9's to go out on the town. Here is my attempt to answer that question from my vantage point.
Can you imagine having a magic wand and waiving it and entering through a port hole into a whole other existence that is filled with enchantment, glamour, excitement, and admiration from others? Women are such lovely creatures especially when they dress up and amplify their physical attributes. Honestly, I am envious and admiring of my true female sisters for they have been gifted with subtle influences that go beyond the obvious power of domination that males possess.
For me, going out enfem has to do with attaching to the power of the experience, to have a piece of that magic that women possess through their feminine beauty and charms, to morph into a higher essence.

My sista speaks so eloquently... truly for many of us we shed the cocoon of a drab existence to one of carefree openness when we dress up... glamour and attention that seldom exist on the other half are now ours to command.
I cannot speak for the genetic girl more comfortable in a cap and jeans...plenty of them out there...but I do know most of them take their grace quite for granted...although many work toward a societal > view of beauty - waxing, diet and fashion, you are accurate that a tgirl will go to even further extremes...
For me, I am more than happy to spend whatever it takes to reach my image of beauty because this is who I am. In some ways I am my ideal girlfriend, having a bigendered view point I am able to see what both genders ideally would like to see as far as beauty goes.
I have some of the best qualities to express in either gender and almost create a third sex all around by incorporating my duality into one. I have always found feminine clothing to be much more interesting, textile friendly and fun in general. Although more than half of my clothing is form fitting and generally considered sexy overall, I am more comfortable in this expression when out and about because not only do I garner more looks, and hence more energy, but it is an overall statement on how I perceive myself and my own confidence levels.
Now if only I could do this at work....
As for the genetic girls out there...they - all of them possess a natural feminine beauty already. Whether they tap into it or not, the potential for them to express it is only one of the many reasons > why the female gender deserves to be celebrated more than it is.
Most of my best qualities came from my mother and grandmother and I seldom ever saw them done up to the nines. The option was always there for them, but they did not have to do it - it always was already there.
The subtle influences that Felicia speak of below exist for every single genetic woman I know. And as I learn more about my other sisters out there... many of the tgirls I know are incorporating such into who they are as well - albeit perhaps in a less than subtle way...giggle...
It is about 'having a piece of that magic' that makes me desire to 'dress to the nines'.
I wouldn't have it any other way...

It is amazing actually how when I really go to a great effort to doll myself up how people look, but seldom talk to me... when I dress much more casual such as when I flew out to Vancouver en femme... I was more warmly received...even my wife said it was nice to see me not dressed like a slut... course she was just trying to be nice... perhaps the short skirts, knee high boots, tight tops and pvc just scare people off...
Who knew?
