Saw A Guy Crossdressed At My Local Bus Station


Beverley

Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago my wife and I were in the central bus station  in our town waiting for a bus back home after shopping.My attention was drawn to a young man between the age of eighteen to twenty four.He was standing at the coffee kiosk and was dressed en femme.He was chatting with great confidence to the young guy serving behind the counter and a lady member of the bus station crew.He was wearing a sweater and a pair of white pants.The outfit he was wearing was a little bit too old for a person of his age.It certainly would not have been my choice when I was that age.But that's not the point.From where I was sitting he looked as if his makeup had been a little bit carelessly applied.But then again  he did a better  job than I could ever do.When I am in Beverley mode my wife applies mine .He may have  been known  to the guy behind the counter but I am not sure of that.My wife didn't notice him at all.When we got home I told her about the young crossdresser.I said to my wife that I really admired that young man for being out and about dressed as a woman.We live in a former industrial town in the South Wales valleys.It's a nice town but some people who live there are a bit rough and ready.And there  is a tendency towards close mindedness  particurlarly with some of the older generation.Kudos to the young crossdresser  for being so bravet.The nice thing is that every other person waiting at the bus station apart from me was oblivious to the young crossdresser.I haven't seen him since that time but I look out for him.I wish him the best of luck.Although I wasn't keen on his outfit I sincerely thought that his purple handbag/ purse was lovely.I told my nearest and dearest that I wouldn't have minded having it myself.

What makes YOU so sure it was a cross dressed male? :dunno: Women come in so many different shapes and sizes, skin texture and so much else.  :dunno:You say your area is pretty compact, but it may well have been a Cis female.  If the person was a CD though, we still give them the benefits of female pronouns BTW.  When we first come out we do have our Trans radar on at high volume, I have been there myself and every little thing sets us off.  We are looking for perfect in our lives and in our public interactions.  The fact that your spouse and the others were not "reading" the person as Trans, or giving them a strange eye makes me wonder if your Trans-dar was on overload.  On the other side, if they indeed were Trans (I include CD there) then they are a good example of both where you can be less than too perfect without harm and that many of your fears for Beverley do not need to be as great, which actually makes you safer in the long run.  I am glad you had fun there,  I am playing Devils Advocate a bit up there at first, and not giving you a bad time, but the huge take-away is that women are in so many shapes and sizes that we can make mistakes, and same for men.  You can look at my gallery pictures and you will easily see that I could be seen either way, but I have never had any real problems, except on my way into a Trans Club one time years ago, and that had more to do with it being a Trans club than with me.

Beverley I don't believe Vicky posted to cause you distress.  Please get back into the conversation.

Welcome @Beverley! Glad you're here. For me it has been awkward learning to present outwardly as the woman that runs my mind. I stumble through it, some days good, some not so much. I'm happy for you with your wife supporting you. I hope you find the wonderful support, advice & acceptance here as I have.

 

Hugs!

      @Mia Marie I agree that it seems most of the focus is on Trans Youth.  And maybe that is in part because of protecting Trans Youth from the political environment, and to give them a chance to transition at an earlier age.  Many of our generation have been cloistered for most of our lives by societal exceptions and I think that has made it more difficult to be Visible ... until Now. So I guess my answer is ... Be Visible and seek out, or even start, support groups in your local area.  Planned Parenthood does provide Gender Affirming Care and therapy in most U.S. regions (and they take Medicare!).

      As a registered CA voter I would be HAPPY to vote against this bill ... BUT as @Carolyn Marie mentioned it has little chance to make the ballot.  Hopefully this will put the Death Knell on the bill.   wrt Parents Rights of notification.  I would agree if there was potential harm to a child, or if the child was involved in potentially harming somebody else.  BUT, that would not be the case in the preponderance of situations.  The decision to Come Out to one's own parents should be up to the individual child only.  If the child does not feel Secure or Safe in their household then it should not be up to the State or School to make that determination. If the child did feel safe and secure they would have probably already come out.  If they haven't ... then the situation seems obvious.  Protect the Child, not the System.

      Great news!  We ARE starting to receive more public support and visibility in opposition to these types of horrendous and wasteful bills.

      Nice to meet you @mattie22 , and Welcome! Your feelings are very normal.  I felt much the same at the beginning of my Journey.  But, in fact it is a 'journey' that is unique to each of our individual lives.  There is not a specific or pre-determined destination.  That's up to you to discover as you find your way. You already received some great Encouragement here.  I hope stay with us, and you will both discover and contribute.  Deeps breaths ... one step at a time

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      This is a question I ask myself all the time. When I'm out I hope that I can some what pass

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved.
