I'm somewhere between a transwoman and public crossdresser. I dress fairly subdued because I'm 5 11. I'm also 53. I wear pounds of makeup because I can't afford hair removal. I live in the Okanagan where people aren't exactly welcoming. I had to help a friend here with a health crisis and had time to kill. I walked on Davie, window shopping. I ran into a short man my age who was dressed as a woman but with no makeup. He had a great outfit, and I loved that he could do that here and nobody bats an eye! And hated Vancouver for being terminally out of reach for a woman on disability who sometimes hates wearing makeup. I'd do the same if I didn't fear the violence that goes with being read as less than 100% female.
