Very few of us meet all of the criteria that would allow us to blend and
pass in mainstream with ease. I believe the subject is to raise the
conscious level that openly flaunting of transgenderism at DLV is not
acceptable.
The reason for the enhanced enforcement of the COP and BDR really came a
few years ago when several negatuve incidents were caused by a few
selfish individuals who had the attitude of "I know I don't pass, so I'm
going to do whatever I want". An example of this was someone wearing a
costume, walking through a casino, and making a beeline for the ladies
restroom. Needless to say, this awakened security and caused undue
restrictions on restroom use in this particular hotel.

Women come in all shapes and sizes, even 6'2" +. It's not a matter of
trying to deceive anyone into thinking we are gg's, but to present an
image that is acceptable and doesn't flaunt transgenderism.
I could point to several of our attendees who are quite tall, and
present and dress themselves in a way that is very acceptable and
fashionable.

If you're getting comments of worth from gg's, then maybe you can give
the rest of us some helpful tips and suggestions. :)
Along with a good presentation, it could be as simple as your smile and
confidence that shows through.
