I'll start by saying that the pics you posted are great. Knowing who you are allows me to see the "male", but you look easily as good, if not better than I do.

I used to worry about passing and as a result, I didn't... or at least I didn't think I did. I remember an occasion when I first developed the attitude that I didn't care what people think and would go out anyway. My wife (who is very aware of my trans nature - though not embracing of it) were on vacation at the beach. I told her I wanted to get dressed and go for a walk on the beach. She said to go ahead, but to find some place besides right in front of the motel we were in.

So I dressed in a grey turtleneck sweater and mid calf, navy blue culottes together with some navy flats. I drove down the coast about a quarter of a mile and found the next beach access. I was feeling a bit rebellious and walked back toward the motel. For this next part remember, my wife saw what I was wearing. Who should I see walking toward me on the beach, but my wife. She has a habit of looking for interesting shells as she strolls along the wet sand near the water. I moved away from the water about ten feet and kept walking. She passed me by without acknowledging me. When I reached a creek just North of our motel, I walked back toward where I was parked. Again, I passed by her about ten feet or less away. When were were back at the motel, I waited for her to say something about me coming back toward the motel, but she didn't. A little while later, we went for a walk together (me back in drab) and as I noticed my foot prints (everyone else wore more practical shoes so my flats left unique prints) I brought up the subject and she said she didn't believe that I had walked that close to her without her noticing. When I pointed out my footprints, she said those could have been left by cowboy boots.

Now I ask you; did I pass?

I've since quit worrying altogether about passing. I go out en femme often, interact with many people ranging from checkers at the grocery store to other customers in establishments I go to. I even use the women's room when other women are in there. All without notice. Now I'm not so gullible that I believe that everyone who sees me believes me to be genetically female, but everyone I've come in contact with in the past 20 or so years has accepted me as I was presenting in and out of the restroom.

Being accepted trumps passing any day. If your goal is to pass then you spend a good portion of your time worrying about being read. But if your goal is to be accepted, then whether people see you as a woman or a cross-dresser and accept you either way is great.

These days with transgender being in the forefront, most people don't really care either way.

It disguises body shape, ignore any remarks by others, avoid heavy makeup, avoid gangs of youths or girls. Walking after dark makes it easier to be attacked, hence most women don't do it. Try to look confident as if you have a right to be there, look people in the eye unless they are looking to attack you, wear reasonable shoes. It's difficult to run in heels and also to walk after a while, plus you are more likely to fall or twist an ankle. Stand upright and avoid slouching or appearing 'guilty', if you have to do something go straight to it don't loiter it attracts attention. Good luck, remember if you are visiting somewhere it doesn't matter if you're read, you may never go there again.
