High risk?
I'm sorry to burst your bubble deary but how people treat you is far more likely to be an influence on how they treat you than what your wearing. I live in the west myself.
Sure like with everything you need to pick the appropriate times and places, but that goes for everyone. Use a little of the gray matter and you'll be fine.
I used to work at Panthers, a rugby league club, before and AFTER transition! I was out to everyone. I would answer questions from everyone so everyone knew all about my past and present. I can be quite the smart mouth myself and I never once got myself in any trouble or even had a threat of phsyical violence.
We used to have Drag Karoke and there would be heaps of drag queens & tgirls in the club. The boof head rugby fans in Penrith even learnt the difference between queens & tgirls. In Penrith they still have a "gay" night at the Embassy Hotel wich is tgirl friendly. I have been to the Taxi club a few times myself and its a bit tragic, but fun. Personally I consider myself to be a lesbian, so I go generally to dyke nights, but never had any problems there either.
As for Parramatta, there is no where fun there anyway. Why waste your time unless your goal is get really drunk and have a fight.
Everyone knows about the violence thats happening on Oxford street currently. Still you can have a good night out on the famous strip if you use your noggin. Yeah you might see some stupid breaders being drunk & disorderly, but its OUR strip and queers still out number them
I think you just need to get out there and have a go. Strike up the courage and have fun. Jjust make sure you take your common sence with you. You wouldnt walk down a dark alley at 3am normally, so why do it in heels?

Hi everyone, i'm from newcastle.

When I was in Sydney a little while back, I had a wonderful girly evening out at the Taxi Club, a long established and famous tranny haunt in Darlinghurst.
It would be great to get some girls together for a Sydney night out, not necessarily to the Taxi Club. I'm sure there are plenty of other places to go.
In the UK we have always found that having a sit-down meal at a tranny-friendly restaurant gives the evening a bit more class and allows everyone to get to know each other.
Then we usually head for one of the tranny bars nearby and dance the night away.
Those of us who do not have headaches, often go our shopping the next day.
Our American nights out have been much the same.
If we could find a local volunteer to organise a restaurant, club and tranny-friendly hotel, I'd be happy to help by advertising the event. We could even do a mailshot to all of our members who live within driving distance.
C'mon Ozzies, who would like to help organise this?
Hugs,
Katie x

Hi, I'm new here. I'm in Melbourne, still somewhat in the closet though, but I'm planning on coming out slowly over the next few months. I have my first appointment at the Gender Clinic in May which I am really looking forward to. Once I'm living the life that I was always meant to, I'll be up for going out!
Hi Girls
Hope all is well Down Under.
I ued to be fairly active with the STG2--2 email group and a little bit with the Seahorse Society but disappeared for a while. I'm in France these days (moved last year).
From what I recall the |Seahorse |society has fairly regular outings planned in Sydney and other states.
Hi, I'm from Brisbane.
