Happy outings – consequence of telling a GG

[Anonymous]

Only a couple of GGs know about Karen, apart from my wife, and I don’t know who else they’ve told but they are friendly and relaxed and chat about a lot of stuff, girl stuff too – and that’s when I’m a guy. I lot of GGs seem challenged by guys – they seem to open up more if they know you have a softer, feminine side. Generally GGs seem to be less threatened by CDs out in public too. Maybe I’m wrong but it’s just the impression I get.

Has anyone outed themselves or been sprung and found their relationship with that GG enhanced? I suppose I should ask the same about relationships with males that have found out or unhappy outings to men or GGs as well.

Hi Felicity, when I came to live in Melbourne I worked in a hospital and over a period of time I get to be quite friendly and even close to some of my work colleagues. I got so friendly to some of the girls that I felt uncomfortable not telling them about Helen.
It didn’t seem to bother them, in fact they seemed to enjoy it, I used to go out with them shopping, going to restaurants, any activity ‘girls’ did for relaxation with friends, one even took me along to her friends wedding. The girls tole me they reckoned that clothes shopping with me was fun.
I never told any of my male acquaintances I was never that brave but in a small hospital word soon spreads. I was aware that they new, but they never made me feel uncomfortable or anything and again I used to go drinking and dining with them also, although in drab mode, sadly!
I should add that not everyone who knew was crazy about the idea.

I have found muc the same. I have met many GGs while dressed en femme such as hotel and restaurant staff, shop assistants and they have been very accepting. Some have become good friends.

They are very open to girl talk and treat me as a girl although fully knowing that I am male.

I have not had the same level of acceptance from males although there are exceptions.

My guess is that GGs know why we might want to copy them but males will never understand why we’d want to be girls and therefore can’t get easily past the mental hurdle of understanding.

Hi Girls
as most of you know i am out a lot as Jenny, and i have met so many great GG friends, i would go so far to say i have more GG girlfriends then most genetic girls.
when i meet a new girl, i am always upfront wether i am on the internet chatting or SMS them, i always make it clear that i am transgender, i have never had a bad reaction, on the contary most if not all want to know more about me and what i do.

now when i am in male mode(which i hate) i come accross a lot of GG’s that i deal with in shops or services, i choose who i tell about Jenny, all of the woman who have waxed me get informed about Jenny before we start, and you would not beleive the change in service, i also have told the girls who do my Laser treatment as well.

i have just gone to a female only hairdresser in male mode and had to tell them about Jenny as i wanted them to give me a female hairstyle, they were stocked they treated it as a challenge

also when i go dress shopping in male mode, i will sometimes tell the sales girl it is for me Jenny, especially if i am buying makeup or lingerie, so far it has only worked in my favour, the GG i have told recently is the woman who does my dress repairs, she has done repairs for me over a year now, i am always there in male mode, so i thought she should know all the work she is doing is for me Jenny, she was so happy for me, she wants to make me a party dress for free.

so yes you can tell GG with some safety, just choose who to tell

Love Jenny

When I lived in the UK I was more discrete about who I told. I had no plans to be ‘out’ at work, but I did confide in a couple of GG friends there; when you spend so much of your life in a place it’s nice to have people there with whom you can share that important part of yourself. And, yes, I would say it enhanced my relationship with them, even if it was just the ability to give each other conspiratorial nods and winks when ‘girly’ subjects came up in conversation.

Just before I left the UK we all had an evening out together, which was lovely. Although they knew I was a CD and had seen pictures, it was teh first time they’d had a chance to meet me in the flesh.

Hi everyone, I would like to answer Felicitys’ question of “did you come out to a GG friend and did your friendship get better?

I came out to the girl that I buy tools from, I am a mechanic remember? It sort of happened automatically when she saw my french tips and our friendship has blossomed into a better one at that. I still buy tools from her and we have coffee every 2nd Friday morning as well. We are now just like regular “best friends” rather than two people doing a business transaction and nothing else. We now share a lot of serious parts of each others lives which helps us both get through the tougher parts of both of our lives, something that shows that our friendship is stronger than before.

Having said that, I can honestly say that I didn’t expect that sort of reception, I don’t from anybody. When things like that happen, it is an honest blessing I feel and something that you don’t take lightly.

Hi girls, hope all’s great in your world!
I’ve shared my passion for dressing in feminine clothing with a GG. I work in the travel industry and spend some nights interstate in a bar filling in evening time with other ‘tourism people.’ Chatting with a really nice woman one time, over a few drinks, we both started sharing more and more about our lives. She told me she was a lesbian and about her girlfriends and her wonderful lifestyle. It just seemed natural to share about my love of dresses, heels and lingerie. It was so exhilarating the way she was so accepting and interested in Satin. I don’t really know, but it seemed there was connection between us because we have in common a different expression of our sexuality. Of course, it means trusting someone you don’t really know, especially if like me you haven’t come out yet.

I like to think my femininity gives me a special bond with GGs, but other experiences have made me realise it really depends on the individual woman you are talking to.

I have told only GG’s about Bron. My two closet friends, my partner and a girl at work. Oh..i have told my best mate in Perth and his wife. They were all cool about it. No drama’s at all. My ex-wife knows too. I have yet to tell my two grown up daughters. Not sure how they will react to that. Bron
