I have TG friends who make fun of me for making comments about not being recognised, but this incident is an example of where people haven't shown the slightest hint of recognition.<br /><br />I think that there is also a huge psychological barrier. If people don't expect to see you crossdressed, they're less likely to recognise you when you are. Similarly, I'm sure some people will say "That's a guy" or "That's a crossdresser", but are so busy noticing that fact that they don't notice any detail and wouldn't be able to describe the person, let alone recognise them. :)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938113045192081875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726562196027210554.post-38512650573704414762010-12-23T18:55:06.718+11:002010-12-23T18:55:06.718+11:00Hey girl, you look great in this photo and so femi...Hey girl, you look great in this photo and so feminine. You are lucky that you are in the summer and able to get out in lovely light dresses; it was -10C here in Edinburgh last night.<br /><br />When I look in a mirror I only see me, whoever I am, so I always think that I would be recognised if I met anyone who I know. The situation has never arisen so I don't know what would happen. <br /><br />Before I came out to my wife recently my biggest fear was that sometime when she was away a neighbour would see me leaving the house and tell her later that they had seen a woman coming out of our house early in the morning. Strangely, I always thought that would be more acceptable than her being told that I had been seen leaving dressed as a woman.<br /><br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16810134006385252955noreply@blogger.com
