A Positive Impression

June 29, 2005

I was asked the question, how do genetic women feel about crossdressers? I don't think the feelings of genetic women about crossdressers can be generalized. It depends on the situation, the people, the culture.

You might be surprised to know that some of the looks and whispers from genetic women are positive. Although they may realize you are a crossdresser, they could just as easily be whispering that they love your shoes or some other aspect of you.

All of the genetic women friends I have spoken with about my new found love for transgendered women are initially quite in the dark about the whole topic, as was I until a few short months ago. When I explain that you are doing this out of your love for femininity, my genetic female friends have responded positively.

I would venture that the vast majority of women you encounter will be ignorant or neutral about your situation. This does not mean they will judge you negatively. It might instead mean that they are like blank slates, waiting to be impressioned. Or perhaps they already have an impression, and could benefit from seeing your example.

My best advice to you is this: when you go out en femme, carry yourself with pride and dignity. Look people in the eye, keep your chin up, and smile warmly. Don't feel guilty because you are out in public representing woman-kind, feel honored and let it show. Just by your presence, you will enlighten many people around you. You are not like the stereotypes they may have been exposed to... you are a proud, beautiful, classy woman who dresses because you respect and love the feminine gender. Women can't help but recognize that, even if only subconsciously.

Every person who sees you will be changed in some way. You have the power to influence this change by your actions, demeanor and appearance. Going out is an opportunity for you to help enlighten people. That is a very credible purpose for which you should be proud.There are also women like me out there, who approve of what you are doing, and admire you very much. If more women had the opportunity to understand you, our numbers would grow.

I am hoping that as a collective group, we can find ways to show people the truly beautiful spirit in which you and others like you are crossdressing. Every time you go out dressed you are taking a step for progress.
