Hi Abbie.
Down here in Sydney boots are usualy more of a late Autumn to early Spring type of thing. However each to their own, there are some that wear Ugg boots with miniskirts. Not my idea of fashion! To get an idea of what people are wearing, have a look at the gossip pages in the No Idea, sorry New Idea, and the Women’s Way, I mean Womens’s Day, closer to the event.
See you there,

Hi Noeleena.
I understand where you are coming from in that anyone has a right to express themselves. However the point I am making is whether you are male, female or somewhere in between it’s not what you wear, it’s where you wear it!
You don’t wear a swimming costume to a formal, you don’t wear formal clothes to the office, you don’t present as a prostitute or a pimp to a job interview (Well the vast majority of job interviews anyway
). Call me a fuddy duddy if you like but I don’t even thing a singlet, shorts and thongs, (flip flops not the undies) are suitable attire while flying. Dress codes are applied and enforced in all types of venues in Oz, licensed Clubs, hotels, night clubs, building sites, even on the beaches. I’m sure a manager or supervisor would have more than a few words to say if someone turned up for work dressed as our subject airline passenger whether they be male or female.Society has perceived dress standards for most occasions and “men to walking down the road’s with pretty much nothing on in front of 1000’s of men, women, & children at a gay pride week march or on motor bikes with skimpy knickers nothing else, & women in knickers only” is perceived acceptable for that occasion. If fact it’s what you expect any probably why you are there. No problem. But not at the airport!
If people do present to somewhere like an airport or the office dressed as the person in the article then they must expect an adverse reaction. Sure you need to “check on their welfare” and have “concerns for these people” and you and anyone else that cares or provides welfare have my total support and admiration.
Sure society may not be right in all cases, but without its conventions civilisation as we know it would collapse into disarray and we may as well return to the wilderness.
The type of public behavior and attention exibited by this person sets back the cause of trans gendered people by many years of hard won public aceptance.
This is just my humble fuddy duddy opinion but if the actions of one “odd” person bring the crusades of many over a long period into disrepute then they cannot be condoned.
Everyone has the right to be themselves, but everyone does not have to accept them.

Sorry Noeleena but I can’t agree with you. My opinion aligns with Michele, Pamela and Karly. Even if this person was a born genuine female with the looks of a goddess she should have been asked to cover up more on a public flight. Irrespective of who we are there are acceptable dress standards for most situations. That was not acceptable.
I once flew from Sydney to Norfolk Island sitting next to a stripper/working girl that had been engaged by a Norfolk Island club for a mens night. She was dressed appropriate to her profession. Even though I struck up a conversation with her and found she was quiet well educated and pleasant to chat with, it was the most embarrassing and uncomfortable flight I have ever had. And I was a 30 Y.O. rampart male at the time.
Perhaps THAT was the problem! 😳 😈 -
I’m with you Amanda. Definately the first one. As I stated earlier, looks modern and progressive.

I like the first one. It looks modern and progressive. Particularily like the centre icon with the three gender symbols. Well done Joanne,

Hi Peta.
Just like to say don’t let the poisioned words of one individual turn you away from this forum where you have contributed so much and helped so many.
I for one, don’t read every post but do peruse the topics and look for posters (or is it postees?) that I know and respect. You are one of those posters (?)
You are a very brave person that has embarked on your own emotional and stormy journey and you have weathered that storm well. I respect and envy you. Please don’t go.
Look forward to catching up at TRansformal.
Hugs,
Fay.

I have saggy eyelids and once read a tip to apply some skin tone medical tape just above the centre of the eyebrow, pull it upward and stick it to the forehead at the hairline. Then apply your foundation over the tape. Works well for me. Have often used this idea and find that it also gives shape to the eyebrow and is easily covered by the fringe on my wigs.
See you all in Katoomba!Hugs,

Mmmmm. Might have to return my ticket so that I can be tied to a pole!

Well I can relate to a panic attack some years ago before I gained my confidence. I was in Target and had picked up two size 16C bras, some size 16 panties and some size 8 black 5″ pumps. I was in the line for the cash register with my story about the wife’s birthday with gift wrap and card in hand as a decoy when I notice that the checkout lady was a friend of my wife and she had spotted me. She would KNOW my wife was a size 10, 4’10” with size 5½ foot. PANIC!!!!
I thought about bluffing my way out but she could dob me in for being a crossdresser or for having a mistress – don’t know which would have been worse! So I gave a little wave, turned around and changed the goodies for my wifes size! Bonus for wife! (She didn’t like the shoes, too high so she canged them later)
Fay had to wait for her goodies until I could go to another Mall. Moral of the story – shop out of area or at least “check out the check out”
Hugs,
Fay

Check one of my early post on this subject and technique. I have been doing this for 20 odd years and still love it. The brand I wear is Triumph control briefs. Holds things firm and if “percy” is pulled through the back hole a little you can urinate with out having to remove them so long as you do it Lady style!

I would have to say Lipstick because it’s the only item of make up that I can “feel”. If you don’t look in the mirror then you can’t see other forms of make up but you can “taste” listick especialy if you use gloss

I recollect that TR or Seahorse arranged one a few years ago. The morning of the Ball I think.

I’m in! When do the tickets go on sale? Guess I’ve got 9 months to hatch an outfit.

Welcome to TR Bobbie. Nice picture, great make up, fantastic cleavage! Are you sure you are not a genuine girl? (just kidding, no offence meant)

Penny, Traci and Clare,
Foregone Conclusion. Just need a venue and a date!
Maybe the Imperial will be open. Latest from website is“Hi Everyone, Hip Hooray we passed the sound acoustic engineer test last night. The report will be ready in another day or so and I am going to hand deliver the document to council myself!
I can honestly say if council has no objections we are nearly there in setting a date to open.
We should know more as early as next week cross our fingers !!
I can see the light at the end of a very long tunnel.Regards,
