What is it that tells......

I would suspect that it might be seeing someone who either looks out of place or is uncomfortable in their surroundings.

Allison that is a great question which I ask myself continually.  Over the years I have made some observations about my own deficiencies and have listed them below:

• Remove the tool belt from my waist before going out in public.  The fact that it is pink don’t mean nothing.
• Mustache has to go.
• Don’t store your can of snuff in your bra.
• Bathe more frequently, at least every couple of days.
• Get rid of the diamond plate purse, find something made from a cow.
• Camouflage fingernail polish don’t cut it.
• Earrings should not resemble parts from your garage.
• Chromed sneakers should only be worn at car shows.
• Remove the .44 mag from my belt and get a purse size .32

My apologies Allison I took an extra pink pill tonight and it seems to be kicking in.  On a more serious note I think confidence leads the pack, followed by body shape and movement.  You have to be a woman in your head before you can be one in public.

Hi Allison.

Asking the question you must have a sense of what the answer is, yourself.  I'd love to hear your take on this.  You can also go back into my blog archive and read:  Sisterly Advice on Being "Clocked"  At a distance I suspect that having feminine body proportions and fluid feminine movements dominate.   Female body proportions are the classic 36-26-36 for upper body, waist and hips.  Movement can be learned from Denae Doyle's several DVDs on all aspects of feminine movement some of which are now on YouTube.

Gosh, I am so in agreement with Jennifer on the answer to this one. Body movement is key. Danae Doyle shows you how men lean forward and occupy more space when they walk, Women lean back, elbows at their sides, and use less space for their size. Her DVDs are worth it!  I have written WPATH and requested that they be required watching before HRT and SRS...
