    Has anybody had any bad experiences whilst en-femme in public?

    The worst that has ever happened to me was when I got stopped for speeding. I was so scared as I thought I was in huge trouble. For a start I was driving a company car (would they tell my work) and also years ago in the UK if you were caught dressed up in public you could be arrested for “Conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace” – Luckily this happened just after I moved to Australia. The cop wasn’t bothered at all, didn’t say a thing, the fact that my photo ID was nothing like the way I was looking that night wasn’t a concern. There were no sarcastic comments, nothing. He just wrote me out a ticket and that was that – it was a pleasure paying the fine. The Aussie police are great. I was so happy to pay that fine!
    So if you’re ever out in your car and it happens to you please don’t try and bolt for it as you’ll turn a small problem into a big deal..

    Fortunately not.

    I drive much slower en-femme for a variety of reasons, including not getting caught speeding. In fact I am planning to sell my Subaru Liberty B4 and get something less powerful.

    We had similar laws in Australia until the early 1970’s. I have talked with several girls who have been stopped for the RBT in recent years and none had a problem with the Police.

    LOL I got stopped speeding too. I was doing 90kph in a 60 zone down Guildford Road on my way to a Chameleons meeting…. The bad thing was I was driving my old beat up Land Cruiser at the time. They didn’t give me a speeding ticket but they did put a yellow sticker on the truck which in itself was generous because it deserved at least a red. We had a small chat and they went on their way. All very pleasant really, well except for the sticker! :P

    Other than that the only bad experiences I can think of was two separate occasions at the Brass Monkey in Northbridge I had small run ins with the local Neanderthals (I don’t go there anymore for some reason) Then there was one night outside Sin I forgot myself a bit and stepped in to stop a guy from kicking someone in the head after he had punched him to the ground. I think the poor guy nearly messed himself when a goth chick in a corset, lace and chunky heels said to him in a nasty gruff voice, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you mate!” They all ended well and I lived to tell the tale! :)

    All up 3 bad experiences isn’t too bad after all these years. After all I can’t remember the number of fantastic nights out that I have had with my daughter and my friends.

    That’s very good advice, if stopped by the police and you lie or do anything stupid they will get you. I can’t speak for the rest of Australia but I was told many years ago of a high ranking person in the Victorian police who was a cross dresser.
    Evidently he made a point of having the police educated about it which would have been very brave of him. I suppose pointing out that we weren’t exactly highly dangerous criminals armed to the teeth and smuggling drugs might have gone a long way to help.

    Speaking of police, in February, I was approached by a policewoman with an ‘excuse me’. I got all hot and bothered and started dragging the Anti-Discrimination fact sheet wording from the depths of my memory. It turned out she was looking for the National Bank – probably a test question – to see if I was a bank robber in drag. Anyway I wondered ‘why me?’ for a while and then I realised there was a NAB deposit envelope sticking out of my handbag.

    I’ve never really had any really bad experiences when out dressed – just unexpected incidents that throw me momentarily – like the one I just imentioned.

    In my water filled balloon boob days, one burst as I was walking accross the Chadstone SC car park. That’s what you call ‘making a splash’.

    Last year when I arrived home a young guy came over and asked if he could use my car battery to jump start his.

    When I was a teen the door bell rang and I decided it was the postman delivering a much wanted package so I opened the door, only to find two smiling Mormon missionaries.

    But a lot of my past anxiety and fear over impending ‘bad experiences’ was self generated and unwarranted. Anxiety over not passing and fear of being ‘outed’. Now I don’t care so much. I’m more content to be a tranny than I was and quite frankly I’m ‘outed’ all the time in one way or another.

    I only have one bad experience, and that was one night I was drawing money out of an ATM in Windsor near Sydney. I picked up the money, put it in my handbag and walked past a couple who were waiting. I went about three paces past and the girl siad “That’s a guy” I didn’t look around, just kept walking to the car and drove off.

    Was pretty nerve wracking, and the only thing I could really do was keep going. The heart was beating, but the excitement made up for that.

    More recently, nearly being caught dressed by my wife when she came home a little earlier than expected. Its amazing how quickly en femme can become en homme! I was glad I was wearing heels not boots.

    Hey Girls

    I had a similar experience, I was driving home enfemme from a BDSM Play Party with my subbie girl gagged and wrist cuffed behind her in the passenger seat. I was pulled up for a RBT and the young female constable’s eyes were nearly popping out of her head. The only question asked was what was going on… I explained but had to get out of the car and remove the gag so julianna could explain that she was there of her own free will. We were dressed similarly in short leather skirts, corsets,and thigh high 5inch heels but Julianna was wearing a wide locked collar/wrist and ankle cuffs as well. By the time we finished the young constable was unconsciously rubbing her legs together. To cut a long story short, I ended up playing with the young constable a couple of months later, and we ended up driving around looking for an RBT. We didn’t find one, so I sent her into a service station gagged and cuffed to get me a pack of cigarettes with a $20 bill tucked in her cleavage. The look on the attendant’s face (~16yo pimply faced male) was priceless. even more so when he had to tuck the packet into her cleavage..

    Pulled over by Mr. policeman. This was on my way home from the soirée. I was still wearing the fantasy outfit which was black boots, black leather skirt, black top and red corset and looked like a hooker. I saw the police doing a breathalyzer test on driver up ahead, at last, it has finally happened. Most of the girls have been stopped and breathalized by the police and I thought at last I get my chance. I kind of saw it as a rite of passage. I drove up to where the cops were waiting for me and wound the window down. Mr. policeman asked me if the car was mine and I said that it was. He then cleared part of the roadblock and asked me to drive down it and park my car. My first thought was what is going on? I expected to have to blow into the bag and drive on. OK, what are my rights here? I was trying to remember while in a minor panic, ok major panic. After I had driven off to the side he then asked me for my drivers license. I pulled out my drivers license with my real name on it and en-drab picture. He looked at it. I expected him to look at me again (when I was going to say I am a cross dresser) but he didn’t. He then asked me if my car was registered and I said it was. Then he said you don’t have the current registration sticker on and asked me to wait for a minute as he took my license with him to make a check at his car. He walked back to his car and confirmed that my car was registered. I was dumbfounded about this as I had paid for it but I didn’t remember getting it in the mail. He let me off with a warning and I was allowed to drive home. During the whole time he was polite, used my real name and did not refer to me as Mr, Mrs or Miss. His professionalism was of the highest order and for that I am glad.

    For anyone else that is going out dressed always carry your license with you and do not ever try to deceive Mr. policeman. Just be honest and helpful and the problem should pass as a minor inconvenience and maybe a funny story to tell your friends.

    Mr Policeman is always an ever present potential threat. Never had the pleasure (?) or otherwise of being asked to stop for some reason or another, but if it ever happened I am grateful for the advice given here about being honest etc. Once saw a “Police” strangest video and a girl weas stooped for having tail light problems. When interviewed she had a deep voice. when she got our of her car her legs were somethnig you would die for! The American Cops said a few words about her, but left her alonr. I should imagine the same would happen here.

    The truth is the Police are very good here in Australia – and they have no intention of giving anyone a hard time unless you approach them with an ‘attitide’ – wether you’re en-femme or drab.. The secret is “don’t panic” – as you are the very last of their problems when you consider some of the things they have to put up with these days. In fact you’ve probably just brightened up a boring day – so they might be quite happy to see you !

    I agree I don’t think police are an issue.

    I’m interested to hear if anyone has had bad experiences in public with ordinary citzens – embarrassment, ridicule etc. – that caused them to stay home.

    I have been stopped by the police while enfemme (RBT) they were courtious and just sent me on my way after they checked ny Breath alcohol reading. In the just over 12 months of going out enfemme often in some very public places I have had no bad experences from the public so far.

    I think it is fantastic, and says a lot about just how far we’ve come to be accepted in our society, that considering this thread is about bad experiences, there have been pretty next to none posted so far. It is actually quite refreshing and confident boosting for myself, as I was expecting a long list of horrible situations people had found themselves in.

    I am quite new to going out in public dressed en femme, so this thread is extremely encouraging.

    Thanx girls…

    Hi Fiona, My wife and I went on a night out on puffing billy for a christmas in July thing and we were allocated a table with three other couples.
    The couple opposite hardly said a word all night and wouldn’t look at me (or each other really)…they were looking all around the room all night. All the others were ok. I found that part of the experience disappointing but also empowering in a way. My wife and I had a lovely night but that other couples night appeared to be ruined. What is it about us that can have such an effect on thers I still really don’t know. It was mildly embarrasing and would have been much more so if everyone followed suit but they didn’t. I could have taken it to heart and said I’m never going out again but in the end unless they get physical it isn’t really my problem. On rare occasions I have had someone laugh at me, you get a few looks, but if you hold your head up and just maintain the right to be there you will mostly get accepted in some way.

    The first time I went out in public during daylight, I caught the train from Newtown (Sydney) to Town Hall station. All the way there, my companion and I were hassled by a couple of louts in their mid 20’s who were on the train with their girlfriends. It was very terrifying. The women didn’t say anything to their idiot boyfriends, but if they weren’t there I think we would have been in danger of being assaulted. The rest of the day went fine, but that certainly rattled me.

    Simone.
