So you,ve booked up for 2 glorious sunfilled weeks at your fav destination , and you fully intend to make the most of those two weeks "en femme " , so your going to laze on the beach , lie by the pool , eat , drink , club etc , in fact all the things that you do on holiday .

But hang on ! , how am i going to swim in a wig , how am i going to hide any tell tale bulges in my bikini , can i travel En Femme , does the country of my choice accept Transgenders or is it one of those middle east punishable by ten years in prison destinations .

Ive been thinking about this a lot recently and i think i have a few answers and solutions to various questions , but whats your take on this , how do you deal with the various situations that may arise , it would be good and indeed usefull to hear your comments .

i will chip in with a few ideas later on , but it would be good to read some of your comments first .

go for it !

you look good in a bikini I love to wear one in my back garden x

Bulge-hiding is EASY but...... it will be painful LOL

Duct Tape and a good tuck.... It's called 'tucked and ducked' LOL But seriously, there's nothing as empowering as having a totally flat crotch in a swimsuit)))

Yes a drag artist friend of mine does this , it sounds dreadfull , another good reason for surgery ! i usually wear an extra pair of very tight pants or g string under my bikini that does disguise it a bit !

In my case my summer holiday will be totally male. But I'll be getting the tan I want in a nice pair of speedos. The swim shorts are being consigned to the "visiting places of interest" department. I'd have gone for a bikini bottom but not got the nerve yet. Maybe next year....

Unfortunately because were spending so much money on us this year were not gonna get our foreign hols so its gonna be next september before we get to go abroad , but i fully intend to be fully transitioned to TGirl by then , so its bikini and sarong or shorts and crop top for me !

So we usualy visit taba sinai ,egypt twice a year , and there are ways of checking the local regulations etc , but just out of interest have any of you girls visited Egypt on femme ? , and following on from that where do you usualy go and do you go en femme and how are you accepted , any difficulties etc .

Gran Canaria is great for a first time tranny holiday. Plenty of accepting gay hotels and the Yumbo Centre for night time fun and frolics x

Thanks Julie , so the next question have any of you travelled "en femme " ?

I wouldn't even consider travelling internationally 'en femme' without a doctors note. Back in the olden days, shrinks used to issue a letter explaining that you are a transexual 'to whom it may concern'. So if you got in trouble in a ladies loo, you pull out your official letter. Do they still give out these letters? And flying is such a pain these days, might as well slob out for travelling? xxx

Driving is OK; for sure its better than flying -or use the train.

In spite of the Brits loathing for all things European (its sort of oxymoronish as Britain is part of Europe) once you get across the sea its into Schengen land ...so no customs barriers or officials.

Why go to places where its tough to be accepted, when there are lots of countries nearby that are more tolerant? And the Dutch for example are very TG tolerant; most speak English too.
Just a thought. P xxx
