1977 transgender shopping its just for the transgender people of today to know what it was like then its about a Saturday outing to Rotherham with my mistress to buy clothes and about thoughts fashions etc , firstly transgender wasn't a main stream word then you would get called mostly puff or cocksucker but i was lucky really as i had the height figure legs ass and voice of a girl .
(i still have the voice and the height and possibly the ass and legs )

my hair was shoulder probably boob length center parted and permed like a rock stars
i loved my hair permed . it was always hard for people to determine if i was a female dressed male or male dressed female but on hearing my voice most just assumed i was female (and still do today on the phone ) so i had no name calling or whatever you call intimidation etc they had no idea . so back that sat you may know by now i had a paper round and got £3 a week and gave my master and mistress £1 a week for clothes condoms and recently makeup etc out of it .
my parents also in those days got an allowance for me it was called family allowance from the government and as they both worked they let me have it . it was £3 something a week i think . my master spent Saturdays either watching sport pub or bookies so we had to go by bus i didn't like the bus they always made me sick ironic isn't it i was consuming my masters cum loads everyday but the bus made me sick crazy . it was seven miles to Rotherham our bus terminated just opposite woolworths so that was our first shop they sold a selection of woman's clothes and underwear and a bit of makeup .now fashion at that time was flared bell bottom trousers for men and women and platform shoes i didn't like the flares even as a male i hated them
i was a girl i liked dresses mod dresses hot-pants slips stockings not tights short skirts and even some of the new punk stuff as it was sexy .our next shop was round to the C&A it wasn't far from woolworths and i always felt like a princess in there to say i was in heaven every time we went would be an understatement i bought most but not all of my clothes there my mistress would help with my choices of what i liked what she liked and what master would like for sex .
so i would chose either a dress never longer than knee length shorter if i could . it was the age of nylon not lace nylon baby-doll nighties nylon knickers nylon slips camisoles every thing was nylon denim was also in . i had denim skirts fake leather punk ones the underwear and nighties i always let mistress pick for masters taste i wanted to look good for them both i had lots of sex clothes and wore them well but whatever i wore as a female i was noticed in .i liked pink not red lipstick and shiny lip gloss blue eye-shadow with everything eyeliner you name it i bought it .perfume was naturally charlie by revalon. i still wear it today the original is called charlie blue now days i loved the platforms my mistress said i was way too young for heels anyway and boots i loved boots we would spend hours in there trying on stuff both me and her always squeezed into one cubicall .
we always came out with far too much but that's girls you know they do that .our last stop was the new indoor market which was next to the C&A It was cheaper than the others and had more of the punk stuff and cheaper make up but we always did the rounds to see what took our fancy . then back to the bus terminus for the bus one every half hour i recall . i miss those days those simple fun days out , do you renumber them ?
none of those three places are there anymore there all long since gone .
