    So I'm in talks with a TV production company and they are talking about creating a show that is 'an authentic reflection of crossdressers/ trans girls'.

    We all know there are a huge range of us and the below is as much fun as anything else but I was wondering if there might be a bit of an average to our community and have a few questions that might be interesting to consider. Its just a bit of fun so feel free to get involved!


    How do you consider yourself? Transsexual, Crossdresser, Transvestite, (state any other)
    If you could, would you like to pass?
    Do you think you do pass or could actually pass?
    Have you/ do you take hormones or any procedures surgery to feminise yourself?
    Is passing at the core or crossdressing? Yes/ No
    Is discovering and celebrating a more feminine version of yourself (that probably won't pass) the core of crossdressing? Yes/ No
    How old are you?
    Is it harder to pass as you get older? Yes/ No
    Do you think most trans girls pass? Yes/ No
    Are you interested in a range of different looks? Yes/ No
    Do you prefer fashion that blends in as much as possible? Yes/ No
    Do you like more glamorous, evening, party or other alternative looks? Yes/ No
    Do you enjoy being a normal bloke in day to day life? Yes/ No
    The average guy is; 5'9", 16" neck, 42" chest, 37" waist, 12st 6lbs - are you Less, More, About The Same?
    Any other comments?

    Other questions warmly welcome too

    I'll go first to start the ball (hopefully) rolling!

    Hi Poppy

    You say that you are in talks with a TV production company. Do you mean a television production company or a transvestite production company?

    And what will happen to the information that you gather from your quiz? Is it just for fun or will it be passed on to a 3rd party?

    hugs

    How do you consider yourself? Ambiguous.
    If you could, would you like to pass? It's of no consequence to me, either way.
    Do you think you do pass or could actually pass? *see above*
    Have you/ do you take hormones or any procedures surgery to feminise yourself? Absolutely not.
    Is passing at the core or crossdressing? No.
    Is discovering and celebrating a more feminine version of yourself (that probably won't pass) the core of crossdressing? Not at all.
    How old are you? 41
    Is it harder to pass as you get older? Apparently not (so I'm told).
    Do you think most trans girls pass? That's not a question that can be answered in one simple soundbite. Some do, some don't, some look like wide-eyed marine creatures with a finger stuck up their bottoms.....it's impossible to answer.
    Are you interested in a range of different looks? Within a certain demographic.
    Do you prefer fashion that blends in as much as possible? I prefer fashion/looks with a degree of personal identity, rather than those dictated by any other mediums, for any other reasons.
    Do you like more glamorous, evening, party or other alternative looks? *see above*
    Do you enjoy being a normal bloke in day to day life? Of course. It's not like I'm pretending to be a girl or anything. I'm entirely comfortable with my identity, regardless of what i'm wearing, and very publicly so either way.
    The average guy is; 5ft 9ins, 16ins neck, 42ins chest, 37ins waist, 12st 6lbs - are you Less, More, About The Same? Less - a little shorter (5ft 6ins), smaller waist (28ins), and preposterously small feet (UK 5.5), although I have enormous shoulders, which is very handy for haymaking time, changing engines, mending dry stone walls and looking like Odd-Job in an undersized Tuxedo at society/Equestrian events that we host.

    How do you consider yourself? Tranny. I don't consider myself a crossdresser as crossdresser is traditionally associated with someone that gets en femme purely for sexual gratifications purpose, and I don't. I like looking like a girl per se.

    If you could, would you like to pass? If I could, I would relish having a double life.

    Do you think you do pass or could actually pass? No. I'm too tall.

    Have you/ do you take hormones or any procedures surgery to feminise yourself? No.

    Is passing at the core or crossdressing? Passing, but it'll never happen.

    Is discovering and celebrating a more feminine version of yourself (that probably won't pass) the core of crossdressing? Yes.

    How old are you? Early 40s.

    Is it harder to pass as you get older? Yes.

    Do you think most trans girls pass? Yes.

    Are you interested in a range of different looks? Yes.

    Do you prefer fashion that blends in as much as possible? No. I love sexy underwear.

    Do you like more glamorous, evening, party or other alternative looks? Yes.

    Do you enjoy being a normal bloke in day to day life? No.

    The average guy is; 5'9", 16" neck, 42" chest, 37" waist, 12st 6lbs - are you Less, More, About The Same? No. I'm 6 foot.

    I still wonder about what this quiz is for and what happens to the answers.

    However, today I was taken to lunch by my boyfriend to a gastro pub in Delph (near Oldham but on the moors), so hardly a trans friendly venue one would think. The place was full - mainly oldies as they get a reduced price menu - but as my toy boy was paying he paid full price. Excellent food and service and a choice of over 600 types of gin; plus an attentive man as company and driver, so I could have a few drinkies.

    Even more interesting was that I didn't get a 2nd glance or a double take from any of the other diners, and I am a big gal - 5'10" and dress size 22. I was not however dressed like a prostitute or with a skirt too small and too short, but dressed like women actually dress.

    To me it illustrates that if you have enough chutzpah you can go anywhere. And by the way in 2 weeks time I will be 68 so age is not and never has been about passing; it's in my opinion all about attitude and self confidence.

    Just go out girls and experience the real world - it's not that frightening.
