I was wondering if anyone knows of any TS/TG shops in Amsterdam. I'm going to be going there next month and I would love to be able to actually go into a store and purchase femme clothes and products openly. Thanks for your help!

Whats the matter with ordinary shops. Even Ann summers? Wherever you go you will find TS/TG shops whether in Amsterdam, Hamburg, London, LA, wherever, its the same shoddy, crap, fetish wear, overpriced, taking advantage of the shy and gullible.

Some people, no matter how 'passable' they are, are too self concious to just 'go shopping' in ordinary shops. Unfortunately, the specialist shops are, like you say Crissie, just pure rip offs who prey on this fact.

Reneé, is there anything that is stopping you from going into ordinary clothing stores to browse and buy at your hearts content. European law is on your side and you are doing nothing illegal - or perhaps you are interested in fetish wear and want to go shopping specifically for that type of clothing.

If it is for just ordinary clothing, then you only have to do it once and find out how easy it is and then you can escape the exorbitant prices that specialist shops charge and probably buy three times the amount for the same amount of money. If your profile picture is actually you, then I doubt very much if you would have a problem

I purposely did not mention laws and protected rights. Its a matter of feeling at ease when you go shopping, If you feel intimidated, ''getting the look'' That's enough to put some off, without shouting for your rights and inviting more attention.

Do some homework, make sure you know what sizes you need. even the girls working in ''TG/TS'' shops are probably going to have a giggle after you have left.

Thank you all for your advice. I'm a total novice i guess, so I do appreciate help from those who are much more experienced. My profile pic is real but I've never gone out in public en femme, and I don't think I'm ready to do that yet. I would like to start spending more time on here, as I feel like it's giving me motivation and maybe that will also lead to more confidence. Thanks so much!

I find this subject ridiculous.

As Cristine states "Whats the matter with ordinary shops"? They all want your money so why go to a shop that is promoting segregation? then charging you 2 or 3 times more for the privalige of being segregated "It is wrong".
When will people realise that we are all "equal" in this world .

If a shop put a sign up saying White people only it would be closed in minutes! Just the same as if a shop put up a sign saying Black people only.

You can walk into "any shop" in this country or Amsterdam and buy what ever you wish.

Amsterdam is a beautiful country and the people there are very friendly. You will see stores you recognise too.

Have a nice trip and just shop where you wish it is your right as a human being.
