Embracing your true feminine self is about more than just your clothes, hair, and makeup…
From feeling confident in your womanly presentation to perfecting your voice and movements, there’s a LOT to consider on this journey.
That’s why I’m excited to share some crossdressing / transgender tips that go beyond the surface.
In this blog post, I’ll share 10 essential dos and don’ts to help make your male to female transformation or transition a little smoother. Let’s dive in!
1. DON’T Compare Yourself to Others
There’s no winning the comparison game. Comparing yourself to cisgender women or other trans women is a misery-inducing habit.
This isn’t a competition. Instead, focus on being your own best female self.
2. DO Find Female Role Models
While you shouldn’t compare yourself to other transgender or cisgender women, it IS a good idea to observe and learn from them.
When you see somebody who looks especially good, observe the details. How does she dress, speak, move, and behave?
While you shouldn’t be a copycat, it can be helpful to incorporate some of these details into your own image.
3. DO Invest in Great Shapewear
The shape of your body broadcasts your gender, so it’s a great idea to invest in quality shapewear. This is even more important than splurging on expensive clothes!
Depending on your body goals, you may want to purchase the following:
Breast forms in an ideal shape/size for your body
Waist cincher or corset
Padded panties (with butt and hip padding)
Control top pantyhose
4. DON’T Forget Your Voice
There’s nothing quite as jarring as a beautifully made up woman with a voice that doesn’t match.
While a perfect voice isn’t necessary, working on a congruent voice will have a big impact on your image.
5. DO Dress Age Appropriately
Dressing appropriately for your age is wise, but that doesn’t mean you have to look boring or frumpy above a certain age.
Choose clothing and accessories that make you look your best without appearing too young or too mature.

6. DON’T Overdo It
The biggest mistake you can make is overdoing it. This applies to all women!
Wearing too much makeup, dressing too sexily, and over-exaggerating your body movements are mistakes that can attract the wrong kind of attention. Instead, think subtle and stylish.
7. DO Get a Second Opinion
Seeing ourselves objectively can be tough. That’s why having a trusted friend for a second opinion is important.
If you don’t have a friend nearby, consider checking out transgender or crossdressing forums, or Facebook groups. They’re great places to ask questions and receive helpful feedback.
And guess what? Our blog has an amazing, supportive community too! Feel free to share your photos or questions below – the lovely ladies here would be happy to provide feedback.
8. DO Seek Support
Whether you crossdress in private or live as a woman full time, you deserve to be supported.
This could mean a lot of different things – from coming out to a partner, joining a support or peer group, finding a therapist, or just connecting with others online.
Being supported makes the journey a lot less lonely – and way more fun!
9. DO Practice Your Moves
Your body language and movements communicate more about you than almost anything else. Pay attention to your movements by keeping them fluid and feminine.

Drop the guilt, the comparisons, and the need for perfection and enjoy being the fabulous woman that you are!
