Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I've been presenting as female in more and more parts of my life. But when I go biking (which I do almost every day) I still feel I'm either presenting as male or at best androgynous. An important part for me passing right now is needing to wear a wig to cover my male pattern baldness and still very short hair. I don't want to wear my good wig for biking, its too delicate and expensive to do that, but my cheaper synthetic wigs itch badly and will be very uncomfortable while biking especially in the summer months. I was thinking of trying wearing a little biking hat under my helmet with wig extensions, or maybe there's a type of wig just for active women, my worry with many things is when I take off the helmet everything else will come off too. I very much want to goto biking events and be seen as a woman.
I'm also concerned about what type of cloths to get, I want to appear a woman, but not overly feminine, i.e. a woman who just wants to be treated like one of the guys, and I can't really tuck while biking tried it once (ouch) ;)  I think if I was wearing a padded sports bra and a tight waisted top, my small butt and larger shoulders wouldn't be that noticeable, most of the time.
Any advice on presenting while being active early in transition would be a great help.

I cycle enfemme and have the same hair issue.

I use an old wig with a cap. As long as you are careful removing your helmet the wig will say in place. I use tape for insurance.

I also use hip pads that help a lot as women have much wider hips and while cycling your butt is up and on display 😳 

For boobs I use silicone boobs with holister spray that makes sure they do not move as they will slide together otherwise due to sweat.

Also if you your arms are muscular like mine (ugh) I use arm sleeves. They come in all kinds of colors.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Vicky,
I dont have any old wigs just a few cheap bad wigs that itch quite a bit, but will see if I can work with them.
will also have to try taping.

What do you do about tucking when you have to get off the bike during events? I was thinking of wearing a gaft under, and things shrink naturally during a ride but womens biking pants leave little room to hide.

Wear panties and tuck.  Women bike pants have plenty of room. It's not an issue.
