Susan's Place Transgender Resources

The only thing that I worry about is that teenagers are terrible people, and I already have to deal with a aLOT of **** for being "gay"

Depends on the situation and how far you want to go with it. I'm in a similar situation myself. I don't really want to go out and trick-or-treat this year (I really don't need all that candy), but I still kind of want to use Halloween as an excuse. My problem is that I want to do the freaking works. Get my eyebrows plucked, ears pierced, nails painted, arms and legs shaved, etc. On one hand I think it's the perfect excuse to get my body more femmed out. If someone is daring enough to ask why, I simply reply with, "It's for my Halloween costume!" On the other I'm a bit scared how others will react.

I say if you're willing to deal with any ->-bleeped-<- that comes your way, you should totally go for it. Trust me when I say that the straightest of straight guys dressed up as girls for Halloween plenty of times at my school and hardly got any ->-bleeped-<- for it. Some of them even looked really good! Others...Well, I'm not entirely sure why they would want to dress as a girl if they weren't going to put any real effort into it.

I wanna dress as the orphan =P but Im gonna go egg peoples houses and stuff,me and my friend are gonna sneak out at midnight  ;D

You should definitely go for it! :D

Sounds like lots of fun. I'm totally planning to dress up too, and go into shops and browse around and stuff. If you can't do it on Halloween, when can you? :)

maybe after i loose more weight, but i say go for it  >:-)

Alright, this has been slightly keeping me up lol. I've been thinking about totally pulling off being a girl for Halloween. Everything just seems so much easier when I play it in my head and tell the people, if they ask, that it's for a "Halloween costume, and I never half-ass Halloween," even though I know it's much more long term than that.

I have money now. I'm thinking of using it to feminize my hairstyle and possibly get my brows waxed, as well as to buy some makeup and an outfit or two, as well as razors to finally get rid of my nasty body hair. Maybe get my nails done too (although they're not too long right now, maybe about 1/4 of an inch at most). The more I think of the possibilities the more excited I get! I don't even care that I'm on the chubby side right now :D.

I had this very same idea and planned to use it as my first experience out.
I'm gonna do a theme with some friends. were gonna be characters form pokemon and I'm planning on being misty :p

I just tried on a bunch of honey bee dress costumes that fit all weird, the people at the stores don't care, they think it's fun! (except she kept trying to hand me dresses a size too big, she was jealous.)

In years past I tried devil and fairy ones too.  Do it, give it a spin.

Hi,

By all means go for it.
But also think about just doing it anyway. Shaving, waxing your body etc is pretty damn normal. Wearing nail polish is normal. How far out are you girls?  I still have to present as male sometimes but I have double ear piercing's, my eyebrows are shaped, my nails are polished.  No one has ever made a comment. If they did, so what?

Confidence ladies, confidence. Just do it.
And Happy Halloween

Hugs

Dress as a girl dressing as a boy.

I do have a friend having a zombie party. Originally everyone had to dress as a zombie. Now you have to dress as a zombie in fancy dress.

Should be fun stopping for drinks on the way :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I dont think you were asking me, but Full time. You helped me get there! You had to be asking them. Still, just in case.

The only way for you to decide is to sit and think:

What's the worst that can happen?

What's the best that can happen?

Sorry doll, yes I meant the gang
hugs, you are looking cute


cindy

yes yes yes yes !!

i did it last year honestly worst day of my life but ! it was also a good one i enjoyed wearing cloths i actually liked only thing i hated was i look like a man:-\ still do lol but i doubt you look like one so do it have fun !!!

If you are just starting transitioning. I think this will be good practice to experiment with what works and what doesn't. Also, you can gage the reactions of others around you...

Just post pics afterwards and don't forget to WERQ

I was thinking of doing the Hallowe'en thing as an "excuse" to dress as I wish, since I'm not out and still attempting to fit in to the gender everybody's always expected of me.

But then I got a request to work that night. And I don't know if I can do it around people at work yet, especially when I'm trying to work. But I hate dressing up for Hallowe'en, so if I'm expected to be costumed while I work, that's probably the "costume," I'll go with. (Of course, then I'll overthink it and wonder if I should do a sub-standard job...but then, I think my wife is the only one here who knows the strength of my Hallowe'en hating.)

Nah after years and years and years it just gets boring

I really agree with you there. Doing that would be making a parody. Moreover, it would be seen as poking fun as women and transgender.

If I were in your position and having thought about this carefully, I would go as the best girl I could be. I'd pull out every stop. I spend whatever I could get my hnads on. I would go, showing respect for others and myself.

I definately wouldn't try to look provokative, sexy or especially tarty and available. I'd go as the best person I know who exists. Me.

So, I'm confused.  Are you going as a guy dressing as a woman, or a woman dressing in a woman's costume?

This is the first year that I can go in a woman's costume.  I'm going for naughty psychotic schoolgirl axe murderer.

HEY!  We should all totally post pics of us in our Halloween costumes this year! XD

I had a drag queen ask me this when I announced I was doing drag. Well I've been told once or twice that I was a boy dressed as a girl, might as well embrace it and be FABULOUS!!

BTW, here is me as Lily Munster for a show we did last night:

I found out I'm probably working on Halloween, but that employees are expected to wear costumes anyway.

I'm planning to be dressing as a casual girl, with just a simple tee-shirt and/or sweater and a pair of jeans, maybe with some plain sneakers or a cheap pair of boots (or maybe some sandals even). I also plan on hopefully having my ears pierced by then and wearing some decent makeup. I also really want to get a hairband and possibly get my hair into a more feminine style (maybe with highlights even!). Lastly I want to get a manicure and get my nails painted (I'm thinking a greenish blue) for the occasion.

I have two weeks to get this all done and not too much free time. Wish me luck :).

I can't ever see you pulling off that Silent Bob look again. But post pics, please for Miki's sake!

ha! I was called silent Bob in undergrad college.

Sure, Ill take pics.

I had to borrow the shirt, tie, pants, shoes, hat, and sweater vest from 5 different guys at school lol

I have taken note that you are already troubled by your local meatheads. My recommendation? If you are intent to do this, please be certain that you travel in a group and don't stray too far from that group for any amount of time. Always play defensively, especially if these knuckleheads feel like they have something to prove by harassing you (as they so often do).

I was in Christian Brothers for my school time torture. The only female among 400 boys as far as I knew. And before the internet was a twinkling in any ones eye. A very lonely time.

I didn't realize there was already a Halloween thread going, so I have deleted my post and combined.
Yes of coarse you should go dressed as YOU! well as whatever you feel is comfortable and fun.
Cause Halloween is meant to be a fun night, specially if you have a cool dress up party to go to.
Here is a pic of me a few Halloweens ago, I did a bit of photoshoping to it for fun.
Yes its a bit dark I know, but hey that's the idea :)
