Just imagine, you step out your front door in full fem-mode for the first time, for a stroll into the centre of York. As you set off, you are first spotted by a neighbour; then on the journey meet a friend who “reads” you; although you are grown-up and live on your own now, a little bit further on the same happens with someone from your own family; then you encounter a colleague from work, perhaps your boss! Girls and cars, just mix. My neighbor pulled out of her driveway in little sports car, and I said..Heh, can I take pic with the car? So here I go...

Dressing up is a lot of fun, I find, so I try to do this most weekends and sometimes other times, which makes me an RTV in the jargon of our world. My “brother” is cool with this (we are Geminis), and has let me take over most of the available wardrobe space at home. All of us take our hats off to Simone (if we’re wearing one), if not we curtsy to her, because she has had to make the biggest decisions. She lives the life 24/7, and has done things which make her body different. There is lots more which could be said on these subjects, and for any reader who is interested we suggest they could have a look at International Repartee, the glossy magazine produced by the main organisation for people like us, where these matters are gone into in more detail. Photographer...sitting in the car and trying to show the bottom of the foot on pedal and shoe.was too hard to see...At least for now.Now she has grown up, she just likes to come out for special occasions and big events, like Sparkle in Manchester each year. Ps...I did my shopping and two other streets and none, they had children tutus but now women ones... the next day, I returned to the original location and got a red tutu and more tattoed pantyhose. They so hot. How are you doing, score wise? Remember, it’s two points for each correct answer. The final one, CD, looks easy, but you don’t get any points in this quiz if you’ve put compact disc. If you’ve put cross dresser you can have one point, but what you need to have put to get the full two points is closet dresser. But for the purposes of this quiz, let’s just say that Simone is different from the other girls because she is a country girl – the rest of us here are basically townies. Simone has lived in the same house in a village all her life, going out to work and then looking after her parents in their final years.

Some people never make this step into the public eye, for all sorts of reasons like these. All the girls featured in this piece were more or less unattached when they started out on this path: try to imagine the problems and difficulties which could (and do) happen when you are wanting to go down this road, but you have a wife and children at home! Your beloved wife finds that the man she married is turning into a woman at times. Your adolescent daughters, who are already confused enough due to their own hormones, find that Daddy is now starting to emulate them, and takes forever getting ready in the bathroom… All these possibilities need thought and preparation before you put yourself in a situation where they could happen. The reason for this is because it’s quite a big thing to do: it took me about six months (of buying stuff and practising at home) from when I first got the urge, to the first time I stepped out the door of my house into the big world – it took Simone several years, because of her circumstances. So, for the “girls in the closet” section what we’ve done is take one of us altogether, with a friend who was prepared to play this role in the picture. The girls together, left-right: Sue, a “girl in the closet”, Simone and MaxineHaving to work as her “brother” for all those years just did not feel right to her, but she didn’t see what she could do about this, which got her down. After her parents had passed away, she began to dress at home, which was better. But it was only when Simone got to know Maxine that she was emboldened to start going out and about. I guess there may be deeper aspects to this (the dressing up, I mean, not the relative amount of wardrobe space), so if folks would like we could perhaps try a “psychoanalyst’s couch” type piece in the future – but I am generally having so much fun that I don’t stop to think much about these things. Like finding something gorgeous new to wear, and seeing what effect it makes the first time you go out in it.

The girls on a night out in York. Photograph: the author Maxine is a York transvestite, part of a thriving world which few people know or understand. Here she explains what it means to be involved in that world, introduces some of her friends, and reveals the emotional and practical challenges they face She has told us that she wanted to dress in this way since she was very young and living at home, which was a problem as the family lived in the industrial part of West Yorkshire. Sue’s “brother” still works in a factory over there, so Sue had to keep everything secret about herself. Well, not so....all car shows feature models...cause cars are sex objects for men. Especially sports cars. They lust for the red sports car then they buy the wagon or the suv...for the kids. I mean married men. Single men or divorced men, or cheating men....get that sports car. I thought that for every one of us girls who goes out and about, there were maybe three who only existed inside their own homes. I didn’t really know (nobody can) about this, so asked Bella Jay, who is the editor of Repartee. She thought the answer was more like ten.It's after church, and hot in Florida, but taking pictures, excite me so much....I just love to take pictures. She said "Angie, you are a nut".

If you want to go in for this, the challenge is to write down what you think the abbreviations above stand for – they’re all explained in the piece, so don’t start reading too soon if you’re going in for the quiz. You don’t get any points for the first and last abbreviations, but there is a bonus of two points if you can say who introduced the OMG one, and when. Some people do dress and go out, but are not quite as upfront about it as Simone and me. As I said, there are various groups and organisations who run special events which cater for this need – like arranging a weekend at some hotel in a discreet or remote spot, where the whole hotel is booked just for T-girls. This enables those who are not totally public about their female persona to arrive in boy-mode, then change into whatever fem outfits they have brought, and spend a whole weekend this way among like-minded people. Bobrisky prefers to be referred to as she. Therefore, some people call her mama, babe etc. Bobrisky admired being called Baby.

this darling tutu skirt it's double layers and ruffles and ribbon and a gleaming hot pink waist and hip section, and it was How did you do in the quiz – the “the RTV/OTV, TS/CD challenge”? If you got the maximum ten points that’s scary – none of us got the bonus points. If you got 4-8 that’s cool, and we’d like to meet you on one of our nights out in York. One to three points, well you had a go, but this is not your area – but then, none of us knows much about fishing, or knitting. Most hood ornaments are phallic symbols, they were very obvious, the new cars have moved to a indented CLEFT....THE VAGINA.If you didn’t get any points and your answers were “reality television”, “ordinary television”, “television star” and “compact disc” – we think perhaps you need to get out and about a bit more. TS is short for transsexual – this answer is not too difficult to get, but it’s the hardest one to actually do, by a long way. Simone has chosen this route. Or perhaps we mean this is the path she had to follow.
