So in short – don’t stress …

if you make the effort you won’t get clocked.

If people start staring cos you’ve got hair coming out at all angles or something,

it’s not an invasion of your femininity.

If they do clock you as male,

as long as you’re not wearing full body PVC then they’ll think, oh it’s a transgender person,

a bit weird maybe,

but they’re getting on with their life and they’re not lauding it in my face like some queen.

But then if you dress well,

you’ll get less negative attention than a badly dressed woman these days.

So my advice, is it pays to look good.

Get a copy of Vogue or something.

The Sunday Telegraph magazine has a good fashion bit and a lot of mags give advice on where to find cheap alternatives to designer stuff.
