Playing the Part

To succeed in the role of a TG or CD
you’ll need to dress and act the part,
To be accepted as your "alter ego"
in public requires a very special art.
To be recognized, as you ought to appear
requires a very special look,
If your desire is to achieve that goal
it’ll take more than you’ll read in a book.

If you were born and bred as a female
it’s relatively easy to don slacks and a shirt,
But if you were born and bred as a male
it’s much harder to look the part in a skirt.
If your choice in dress is that of a fetishist
I’m afraid that I’ve bad news for you,
Unless you are part of a troupe like "Les Girls"
it will attract attention that’s undue.

To play the part of your "alter ego"
take particular care with what you profess,
Don’t ever appear to be unladylike,
just be the perfect lady in the way that you dress.
Take care with the way in which you walk & talk
and how you swing both arm & leg,
For if you are not successful at it
you may find that you are taken down a peg.

Do try and fit into the environment
in your chosen role as a part of the natural scene,
If you don’t really look the part,
others may perceive your dress & actions as obscene.
However if you are able to blend in with the environment
and fit in quite naturally,
You’ll be pleased with what you have achieved
and you’ll make it home and free.

And now I think I’ve said more than enough,
the rest is up to you,
Just take care with how you act and dress
and what you say and do.
For if you can carry out your chosen role
with tact and dignity,
You’ll be accepted as the person
that you truly desire to be.
