Coming out

Unfortunately most trannies think that the moment they appear in public will cause such an outcry as to make the effort not worthwhile. Let me tell you a few things about the dear British general public.

In England the stiff upper lip is king, it's rude to stare, to point and to remark on anything unusual about someone. Consequently, no one says a dicky bird to me when I'm out and about wearing whatever I want. What a wonderful country for trannies. The only exception I've known is in London, being more cosmopolitan people are less inhibited but still there is no hassle. I'd hit em with my handbag if there were.

The only time I can guarantee getting looked at or commented on is in a Gay zone or at a Rocky Horror Show. Gay guys say things like "Ooh I want those legs" and are generally most complimentary. Rocky Shows are like a high heels owners club so there is a certain kindred spirit thing going on. On the way to a show the streets are full of cheers of recognition when one group of tacky trannies spots another group.

Just in general though, I go into shops, gas stations, anything, and the more ordinary the place the more nonexistant is the recognition. The biggest reaction I ever had was at a late night service station, as I stood at the window a youth paid his pound for his fuel and a minute later I heard "TRANSVESTITE!", to which I thought "No shit Sherlock!" I turned around to see the youth and his friends all trying to scramble into the door of their Mini like a bunch of scared kittens all trying to get through a small hole simultaneously. Evidently they thought that I might go and bash them with my handbag.

Invariably when someone takes the trouble to speak to me it's in a friendly and curious manner, people are always suprised to find that I'm not homosexual.

What about coming out to a partner or wife?

For over ten tears now I've never hidden what I am and it's never been a problem for me or my girlfriends. When I went to meet my last girlfriend for our first date we were watching Eddie Izzard before we went out. I said to her that I was like Eddie and that I was a transvestite. She never had a problem with it.

The closet contains most of the worlds population, it is far too crowded, a lot of trannies believe that coming out will destroy their chances in a lot of things. A woman I know who loves transvestites told me that she very rarely gets to meet any as they're so hard to find, can you believe that? A close girlfriend of mine loves trannies but until she met me she had never set eyes on one.

Get out of that closet girls, you don't have to be gorgeous, you don't have to pass, I don't. Just come out and enjoy life.
