I find this more funny than anything else. ^_^
I was going out for the weekend in a neighbouring city and feeling brave so decided to go 'full out'
I was meeting up with my friends in the next city, and travelled by train alone (which involved changing at one station). About an hour's journey in total, and at a busy time in the evening.
I did up my face, and my hair is already a fairly feminine cut. Wore black female-cut skintight jeans, a fairly tight black top, and a knee length fitted coat... also black... I'm a bit of a goth. Also wearing a bra which made the bulges pretty noticeable. Looking in the mirror, I'm wouldn't go as far as to say I 'passed', but certainly edging towards the feminine side of androgyny.
Pretty nervous on the journey but no one on the station platforms seemed to pay much attention to me, which was nice. The ticket collector on the train was very polite. Overboard polite even. No idea what he thought.
And then I met up with my friends in the club. One hadn't seen me for a long time and said he liked what I had done with my hair. No one else said anything about my 'look'. It wasn't until we were all in the smoking area, about two hours after we arrived, when my best friend asked 'are you wearing makeup?' ^_^ heh heh heh
So for my first time out, it wasn't a bad experience. I don't think it revealed so much about how well I passed, but more how much I can get away with as a goth.
