Getting back into the swing of things

Liz Summers — Wed, 27 Dec 2017 21:48:43 +0000

It’s been a busy year. Have I mentioned that yet? I have? Oh ok, I’ll probably shut up about it (at some point). Opportunities to dress have… well, they’ve existed, but having both the time and inclination to do anything about it has been an issue. I had a goal to dress up once a […]

Dressing again after a long hiatus

Liz Summers — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 06:29:06 +0000

Many years ago, I made a promise to my wife that if and when she became pregnant, as a show of solidarity, I would sport a beard the whole time for her benefit, as a lover of a good beard. Then, at long last, sometime last year she got pregnant. Thus began the long hiatus […]

Male Attention (or “How To Make Me Not Like You”)

Liz Summers — Sat, 26 Mar 2016 20:15:58 +0000

I read an article not-too-long ago at The Onion, titled Woman Feels Like She’s Finally Ready To Start Receiving Unsolicited Vulgar Messages Again. (If you’re unaware, The Onion is a solid satire site). This particular article, as with all good satire, is both hilarious and extremely pointed – it hit its subject matter squarely on […]

My Crossdresser Timeline

Liz Summers — Sat, 25 Jul 2015 13:41:43 +0000

It seems like everyone has done some kind of crossdresser timeline, except me. Not one to avoid a good ol’ bandwagon, let’s get this show on the road. A lot of these dates are estimates. 2003 (ish) This is the earliest picture I can find of myself dressed up. I was at university at the […]

San Francisco Pride Parade 2015

Liz Summers — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:59:24 +0000

So I was at the San Francisco Pride Parade this year (2015) – I definitely marched, but not as much as I would’ve liked! But first thing’s first: Outfit selection: I’d initially planned to go with a short red-dress. I tried it on that morning, and it was, uh, a little bit *too* short. I […]

Back to work

Liz Summers — Sat, 16 May 2015 15:47:23 +0000

For lots of reasons, I hadn’t crossdressed at work since February, which ended up being about 3 months. I suppose that’s not the longest time I haven’t dressed, but for some reason it felt like an eternity. I’ve been crossdressing at work on and off for a couple of years now, but this was probably […]

Dressing for work (or yet another reason why it must be hard to be a woman)

Liz Summers — Sun, 10 May 2015 16:01:03 +0000

Someone at work recently posted a link to an article about the difficulties women face in choosing what to wear for work/interviews (great article, well worth a read – http://www.xojane.com/issues/professional-dress-for-women) On the days where I present as male at work, so little thought goes into my appearance – I just grab a t-shirt and a […]

Why I don’t think passing is important

Liz Summers — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 20:32:16 +0000

This might seem controversial and counter-intuitive, but I truly believe that for lots of reasons, passing isn’t important. Bear with me. What do we want as crossdressers? I wonder sometimes, how deeply we examine this. Take a moment to consider what you want, or even why you crossdress. Really stop and think about it. Do […]

Ask a Crossdresser: Bathrooms

Liz Summers — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 19:10:11 +0000

So like, when you’re dressed up, what bathroom do you use? I had a co-worker ask me this once (HEY, IT STILL COUNTS) and I forgot to write about it. Also, a commenter asked a similar question, and it definitely deserves a thorough answer. So. When I’m at work and I’m dressed up, I use […]

A harassment story.

Liz Summers — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 04:43:12 +0000

As I sometimes do, I dress up to work. It’s not a big deal. This day didn’t start off any different than most others. I set my alarm half an hour earlier than usual to make sure I had enough time to get ready. The night before I’d pre-trimmed body hair down so that shaving in […]
