Hi Claire.

All I did was apply for a supplementary card in my wife’s name, intercepted the pin and card, easy when you have a PO box, signed the back with my femme signature and all done!

Makes my feel secure when paying as Fay. :whistle:

Good evening folks. I can relate to most of the experiences above as I often drive en femme. During the school holidays I often make several solo trips to and from ‘The Shire’ and Ulladulla on the south coast.(just on 200kms.)

A typical trip would go something like this;
a) Depart family and holiday home wearing Fay’s undies and male external attire.
b) Pull of the highway a kilometre or so up the road and transform into Fay.
c) This includes make up, wig, jewellery and of course nothing less than 4″ heels.
d) Strangely I always have to stop for fuel on the way home. Never get a second glance until I have to say “number 1” in my unfeminine voice. I do have a credit card in a feminine name so that part goes OK.
e) Continue to destination and remain as Fay until required present as male for work.

Some added benefits are that I don’t speed, I drive less aggressively and seem to stay much more alert. Don’t want to be pulled over by the constabulary :ohmy:

One thing I have noticed is that when stopped at a red light some male drivers in the adjacent lanes will note the female hairstyle from behind and edge up to “check out the chick.” (Must be a disappointment to spot me. :S

I enjoy every opportunity that I can to present as Fay.

Keep frocking up, hugs Fay

Toni-Anne, this is exactly my situation. My spouse has no idea how much and the variety of feminine clothes and accessories that are secreted in many hiding places. It is reassuring to know that the emergency services and police are sympathetic and sensitive.

I also know that large companies are prepared for such events. Some years ago a colleague past away on an overseas trip I was on and the HR person sent over arranged with the hotel to have a quick check of the room before his wife and daughter were given access to his room. HR person confided in me that I would be surprised what she had found in similar circumstances. :ohmy:

For some time I have considered revealing Fay to my Daughter so that she could clear out the majority of Fay’s wardrobe but am afraid that her loud mouthed partner would tell the world if he suspected anything. :blush:

Another option I have considered is labelling some suitcases “In the event of my demise, please dispose of this suitcase without opening“. But that is too inviting to take a peek. :whistle:

Will be interesting to see others responses to this dilemma.
Hugs,
Fay

Wendy I can totally relate. I am in a similar position to you. Just turned 70 but feel much younger when dressed up. Since retiring fay is unable to have fun business trips anymore. We could be soulmates if you weren’t so far away.

One of the major milestones on my journey was when I stopped concentrating on trying to “pass” and just enjoyed the experience of being dressed. Once I’m out I don’t care what others think. However I do try to avoid what could be a confronting situation such as a group of teenage lads or 20 year olds with a skin full.
Young children can also pose problems and are keen at spotting ” that’s a man over there”
Experiences such as the Opera Bar and Carrington where staff and other patrons don’t turn an eye or are chatty and friendly build self confidence and show that we can blend in socially as good as any GG.
There is nothing wrong with vast majority of people, it’s just the vocal minority that stir things up or mock us to have some so called fun at our expense.
Slowly the pendulum is swinging our way and we are being accepted by more and more people!

Reading the posts above there is not much that has not already been said.

Thanks must go to Amanda and Megan for thier tireless work in arranging all the details required to make the weekend happen seamlessly. I would be very interested to see the “Weather Request” form that Amanda submits each year.

Unfortunately due to personal health reasons, I had to bail at about 10PM but still had a wonderful time over the weekend. Apologies to those that I missed catching up with, I had looked forward to utilising that extra hour in the Bar.

Well done once again Amanda and team TF.

When are the tickets for TF 2015 on sale?

On the 29th august Vicki posted an alert on purchasing from the Chinese site DHgate

“On the 9 August I used an online shopping site DHGATE and after several weeks and messing me about no product.

Avoid this site.

Vicki “

My personal experience from this site is excellent. I have purchased over a dozen items from earrings, shoes, clothing and other “equipment” and have found their service and quality most satisfactory.

Only warning is to be careful with sizes as they tend to quote US sizing but most sites within DHgate give a listing of alternate and conversion measurements.

On 1 occasion an item was reposted 2 weeks later and now I have 2 items!

DHgate appears to be like a central clearing house for many suppliers.

No problems with my Yahoo email. Still same classic version and I hardly have any spam. Maybe 5 or 6 a month. I think it’s more to do with sites you visit and who you send emails to.

Speaking of rats, I think I have the solution.

Politicians!!!!

Mmmm maybe too controversial.

[Fay]

Sorry fellow TGers, I quite like the shoes. I must however admit to having a “thing” about high heels. I know that when I dress the very last thing I would want to wear is an old pair of boots or rubber thongs.

Gems just don’t do it for me. Needs to have a bit of fun about it.

Now knickers, that could be interesting!!!!

Cheers,

Fay

My top 5 in no particular order are:

1. The feeling of silky stockings on shaven legs.

2. The swish of a long skirt around my legs.

3. Wearing high heels and walking with a feminine gait

4. Meeting and chatting with other CD’s and discussing fashions.

5. Window shopping and drooling at feminine clothes.

I also find that when I am out as Fay I have a different personality and want to be more outgoing.

Happy dressing, Fay

Amanda, Gina and Victoria.

I have just read the proposal for UTS post-graduate students to film at TransFormal.

I must lodge a strong objection to this proposal. I do understand the benefits of promoting gender diversity, however the confidentiality of myself and other attendees would be breached.

I have not revealed my femme side to family, friends or work colleagues as have many other guests at the two previous events. My family, friends and work colleagues do however know that I spend a weekend at Katoomba each May but assume that it is with a hobby group that I associate with.

If this documentary were to be “offered to a free-to-air television network” where it could be viewed by said persons I am sure they would deduce the true nature of my weekend retreat and it would be extremely embarrassing and cause untold repercussions in both my private and corporate life.

I am sure that I would not be alone in objecting to this pending breach of trust.

I would have no problem with the documentary being “hosted on the student journalism website, Reportage” but unless assured it would NOT be shown on free-to-air or cable networks, I would have to withdraw my support and attendance at this years event.

Amanda, I have sent you an email as above and copied in some friends that I have planned to meet on the weekend.

Regards,

Fay.

A gathering of trans sisters is the first thing that comes to my mind.

Well I totally agree with all the comments above. Fantastic weekend, well done Amanda, Megan and all the behind the scenes helpers. I particularly enjoyed the Friday theme night with most guests joining in the dress up fun. I thought the Saturday activities were much more relaxed than in previous years, probably because I didn’t try to attend every one!

Saturday night was the usual success with lots of gorgeous gowns and dresses. Music was great again and it’s a shame that one bung lung Fay could only manage 5 minutes on the dance floor.

During a quite moment on Sunday Amanda asked me what I thought could be improved upon and I honestly couldn’t think of a thing. Transformal has matured like a fine wine.

God willing I’ll be there in 2017.

Hugs to all, Fay.

The analytical Engineers answer to your question is there are twice as many chairs as there need be! Similar to the half full or half empty glass of water question. The glass is too big.

I’ll be there to help in any way I can Amanda. I might be an old boiler but I love putting lights away in 5″ heels. Looking forward to another great weekend.

Hugs,

Fay
