10 Places to Avoid For a Safe Crossdressing Experience

Whenever I step out in public while crossdressing, a daunting fear looms larger than the worries of blending in – it’s the fear of harassment, bullying, or humiliation.

This feeling isn’t unique; it’s a shared sentiment among many crossdressers.

Despite the tireless efforts of the LGBTQ+ community’s activism and the wealth of education available through online blogs and influencers, there remains a significant portion of society largely unfamiliar with crossdressing and crossdressers.

So, as someone who crossdresses, I’m here to give you some advice on places to avoid to stay safe and comfortable while crossdressing when you’re out and about.

10 Places to Avoid as a Crossdresser

Some Religious Places

While many religions are welcoming to people of diverse gender identities, there are certain faiths, such as Christianity and Islam, that consider crossdressing men as sinners.

In particular, devout practitioners of these religions, including religious leaders who oversee places of worship, may prohibit the entry of crossdressing men based on conservative views regarding gender.

There have been instances where transgender or crossdressing men were denied access to churches due to these conservative beliefs.

It is crucial to conduct proper research before visiting any religious place to avoid humiliation or denial of entry simply because you are a crossdresser.

I recommend this not only for your safety but also because religious matters are highly sensitive topics that can escalate into serious conflicts.

It’s wiser to err on the side of caution rather than find yourself in a difficult situation.

Aggressive Rallies and Mobs

As a crossdresser, you already stand out, which can sometimes make you an easy target for unwanted attention.

Whenever I’m out in public while crossdressing, I tend to keep to myself and not get too involved in what’s happening around me.

I do this because I know that people might criticize my choices.

That’s why it’s generally a good idea to avoid getting caught up in conflicts, aggressive rallies, or activities related to discriminatory activism.

These situations can be risky, and you could easily become a target for harm or harassment.

I know, honey, that you may be strong and confident, but the world can be a strange and sometimes scary place, especially for people like us who choose not to conform to conservative norms.

Your safety is in your hands.

Remote Streets

It’s better to avoid visiting remote areas, especially late at night, while dressed in feminine clothes.

These areas often lack adequate security, leaving you feeling vulnerable as a crossdresser.

Such streets can have individuals with malicious intent, including troublemakers, stoners, and gangs who may pose a threat to your safety, potentially taking advantage of you or attempting to rob you.

It’s frightening, and it’s best to steer clear of such locations.

Regrettably, there have been distressing reports, like the one about a 29-year-old crossdresser who was sexually assaulted in a remote area.

This individual was dressed in women’s clothing, wearing a denim skirt, a blue blouse, and a denim jacket.

Misconceptions about crossdressers often lead some to assume that we are sex workers, and being out on a remote street late at night can further reinforce these misconceptions.

It’s wise to avoid such areas for your safety, and you don’t want to be called a slut!

Do you?

For Medical Appointment

When it comes to medical appointments, I highly recommend avoiding crossdressing for several important reasons.

First and foremost, you want the doctor’s attention to be solely on the reason you’re seeking medical care.

Dressing in a way that might draw unnecessary attention could divert the focus away from your healthcare needs.

Additionally, some medical facilities may still operate with conservative norms, and their staff may not be understanding or accepting of crossdressing individuals.

Avoid crossdressing to ensure a more comfortable and respectful experience.

There is, however, an exception to this advice.

Suppose you are going to a medical appointment specifically related to gender-related issues.

In that case, it is appropriate and beneficial to crossdress to express better and communicate your preferences with the doctor so that they can provide you with better care.

Washrooms, Locker Rooms and Gender Assigned Lounge Areas

This is a very controversial topic, and those who oppose crossdressers often bring up this argument.

Consider that our current societal infrastructure is primarily designed for cisgender individuals.

For instance, public washrooms, school locker rooms, and airport lounges are examples of spaces where the infrastructure may not readily accommodate transgender and crossdressing individuals.

So, until the infrastructure becomes more diverse, it’s better to avoid washrooms, lounges, etc., while crossdressing to avoid unnecessary commotion, humiliation, and debates with those kinds of individuals.

You know who I am talking about.

Straight Clubs and Bars

While there is no such thing as exclusively “straight” clubs or bars, and there shouldn’t be, as a crossdresser, it can still be challenging to feel completely comfortable in some general public clubs.

That’s why it’s often a better idea to spend your night partying in clubs that are more inclusive and celebrate diversity.

Work Places

The workplace is more important to an individual than their home because it’s where they spend most of their time and earn their livelihood.

You wouldn’t want to crossdress there that people may not like or appreciate.

The office isn’t the appropriate setting to be an activist and advocate for crossdressing rights.

Trust me, it can take a toll on your mental health.

Suppose you wish to express your fashion and crossdressing style at work.

In that case, it’s better to seek out a profession that appreciates gender diversity, such as the fashion industry or media companies.

If you’re joining a new office, make sure to conduct proper research about their gender policies before taking any steps to express yourself.

I know, honey, it’s limiting and challenging, but for now, that’s how the world works, and you are not alone.

Many of us are going through similar experiences.

Dating Apps for Straight People

There’s no problem with signing up for a mainstream dating app as a crossdresser.

However, the only problem is that you may not get as many matches if you openly mention your crossdressing identity, as these apps primarily cater to cisgender and straight individuals.

In some cases, you might face trolling or have less-than-ideal dating experiences.

For a more positive dating experience, it’s often better to consider crossdresser-specific dating apps where people share similar emotions and perspectives.

By following this advice, I’m confident that you can find the love of your life.

Here are some dating apps made for crossdressers where you can sign up to get genuine matches.

Gym, Fitness Center and Sports Clubs

Places like gyms, sports clubs, or fitness centres can be quite intimate settings, with shared shower areas and an environment where people often expose themselves freely.

For feminine men and crossdressers, it can be uncomfortable to be around groups of strangers men in such situations.

Gyms, in particular, are mainly about showcasing strength, ruggedness, and toxic masculinity, you know, those buffed boys, which can be challenging for crossdressing men like us.

That’s why I choose to avoid going to the gym and instead prefer to do my sissy workout sessions at home.

If there happens to be a gender-diverse gym in your area that you can join, that might be a more comfortable option.

However, if not, it’s often better to stay away from traditional gyms to ensure your comfort and well-being.

Conservative Family Gathering

We’ve all been there, facing bullying from our aunts and uncles for expressing our femininity.

“Why are you so gay?

Why are you so sissy?

Go play with the boys,” ugh!

But since they are family, it can be difficult to respond.

So, what can you do in such a situation?

My advice is simple: if your boomer uncles or aunts are going to be at a family gathering, consider not attending.

If the event is crucial, I would recommend avoiding crossdressing to prevent it from getting under your skin and ruining your entire day.

Unfortunately, you can’t change their minds, especially because people of their age often believe they are right, and our generation is foolish for expressing ourselves freely.

It’s better not to waste your energy on futile arguments and just chill.

Conclusion

As a crossdresser, it’s essential to prioritise your safety and well-being.

Avoid places that are remote, lack security, or may have people with ill intentions.

Keep to yourself and avoid unnecessary arguments to steer clear of humiliation and bullying.

Unfortunately, conservative individuals may target you, so your best approach is to avoid such conflicts.

Before visiting any location, whether it’s a nightclub, public park, medical facility, or health club, conduct thorough research to ensure it’s safe and accommodating for crossdressers.

Remember, your safety is in your hands.

While physical infrastructure may not always be ready for crossdressers, there are various online dating platforms made for your needs, so consider using those instead of public dating apps.

Explore other crossdressing-friendly places for entertainment purposes by conducting good internet research.

Ensure your crossdressing experiences are pleasant.
