There are a LOT of photos of me in on this website. Most are from photo shoots that I have but there are also quite a bit of me just… wandering around doing Hannah things.
From these photos you can probably tell that I have a LOT of clothes. And you would be right. Additionally you can probably see that I have a wide variety of clothes. At this point I think I have SOMETHING I could wear for any event, whether it’s having coffee or exploring a haunted castle or having coffee at a haunted castle.
On an unrelated note, could someone please invite me for coffee at a haunted castle?
I think it’s, well, typical (but I didn’t say it’s right) for people to make assumptions about someone based on what they are wearing. It happens a lot to me when I post photos, especially on the cesspool known as Twitter. I’ll post a picture of me wearing a leather dress and BOOM my DMs are full of messages from self-described pathetic men calling me Mistress or Goddess or Mommy (gross).
If I post a picture of me in a frilly, pink dress and BOOM my DMs are full of messages from men looking for a sissy.
These reactions don’t surprise me, but it doesn’t mean this behavior is acceptable. I feel as if I am being pulled into their fetish. Not that there’s anything wrong with a fetish (usually), but if a fetish involves someone else, then that person needs to consent to it.
I’d like to think that my website showcases such a variety of outfits and styles that someone wouldn’t assume I am one thing or another. If anything, I would hope that the photo variety suggests that I wear what I want and I wear what is fun or cute or sexy or interesting and that an outfit isn’t reflective of who I am. I am not a sissy or a domme, even if my dress is pink or I am wearing thigh high stiletto boots.
Also, there is a significant gap between what I would wear in a private photo shoot and what I wear when I am out doing Hannah things.
When I post photos that some associate with, well, a lifestyle, I’ll get emails and comments about going down a certain path. I’m not. I just saw a dress and decided to wear it. I am not a sissy bimbo, I am not a man-hating bitch, even though I don’t like most men, lol.
I like playing dress up. What I mean is that as a transgender girl I am not “dressing up” when I am out doing Hannah things. But when I have a photo shoot, then I AM playing dress up. I am likely wearing an outfit I would not wear when I am out in the real world. Photo shoots are make believe, not necessarily reflective of who I am and of my lifestyle.
I also get criticism when I complain about overly sexualized comments/messages/emails from people who are reacting to certain types of photos. “If you don’t want men to say things like that then maybe you shouldn’t post photos like that.” Fuck that, lol. There’s not a single photo that I have posted that could possibly justify some of the really inappropriate things some men have said to me.
Besides, men can absolutely behave themselves. They’re lying when they say that they can’t. They are trying to deflect their own accountability and, in a way, assign the blame on me. “It’s not my fault your photo turns me on.” God.
Maybe I expect too much from men, but I really think they can do better. I present as masc for a fair portion of my life. I like women. But I have never thought it would be appropriate to say to other women the things men have said to me..
Additionally, I know that a sexy selfie isn’t indicative of someone’s intelligence and personality. People can be drop dead sexy but not sexually active. A girl can be shy and wear thigh high stiletto boots.
I know I post photos that some people consider sexy or fetishy but I also hope that I post enough of a variety that I am not, well, typecast. It is funny that people assume I am a slutty sissy when I post a sissy dress but no one assumes I am a princess when I wear a gown.
I also think that my writings are somewhat intelligent and well-written. I think my posts are thoughtful and I hope that people consider this when it comes to forming an opinion of me.
Humans are a sum of their parts. Humans are a sum of their wardrobe.
Love, Hannah

Hanna, if you post a photo of a ’69 GTO Judge you will get pages of emails from gearheads, every type of photo will bring out someone who has an interest/fantisy in the subject matter….Now a personal note for others to read… I left of a road trip to Arizona last week enfemme… Was going to stay a week or so but the traffic and road raging drivers had me leaving after 2 days after getting some of the stuff done I wanted get done and buy..I went to the bank at new location, did a Uturn and Bike Cop pulled me over, Did not see the sign due to having to focus so much on traffic… was wear sleeveless, short flower dress as it was nearly 90 degrees.. I actually did not even think about that was enfemme as I go out so much it’s just natural..The cop did not say anything, gave me a ticket and gave me options on paying or safety class and that was it. what had me so pissed is that cops allow pickup drivers to go 80mph, cut people off, road rage and they are never stopped, not in 35 years there did i see a nice car or truck pulled over, was usually hispanics in work trucks/pickups.

Recent disgusting revelations (confirmations) about the conduct of wealthy and well-connected males, makes it apparent that some significant percentage of males feel entitled to impose themselves upon others. I guess that attitude is also regrettably prevalent even among the less wealthy and influential trolls that inhabit parts of the internet.

Hi Hannah
could you please be more specific when you say “What I mean is that as a transgender girl I am not “dressing up” when I am out doing Hannah things. Am I not a transgender girl if I “dress up” at home? Or do I have to be out ‘n about to be transgender? Or are you saying cross dressing and transgender or the same Please advise..
a devoted reader,

This might offer a little more clarity about how I define/view crossdressing:

An interesting and well written article (as usual!). I have quite a large feminine wardrobe myself, although due to a few factors, not least my size, I’ve not got the thigh high boots as yet and I probably need a few more slutty & Sissy type outfits if I were to think that what I do falls more into the fetish camp!!
Now, as I don’t get to go out in public much at all, especially in and around where I live, I think I consider myself more as someone who “dresses up” rather than someone who does it everyday while just going about their daily business, but I totally get it when you say your’e not dressing up when doing Hannah things.
While at home and no one else is about I’ll usually pop on a dress etc, and potter about 95% of the time, but I’d still see that as “dressing up” I think as I’m not doing it to then go out and about to do my everyday business beyond my front door, even if that’s something I’d love to do if a) I had the confidence to and b), my wife won’t kill me if she found out I’d left the house while dressed (She’s fine with it while I’m hidden away at home!).
In other words the boundary between “dressing up” and “it’s perfectly normal to be dressed in feminine clothing just going about my life”, like yourself Hannah as it’s just what you do on any given day, is the threshold of my front door. If that makes sense?!!
And although I’m very comfortable and confident while at home dressing en-femme as it feels right to me and I feel my femininity is a real and significant part of who I am, it is mainly the judgement of others that holds me back from going out as Davina. This is especially true of what other men would / may think of me as I’m clearly a male in a dress (I’d no way ever “pass”). I think women on the whole are less judgmental and are more likely to simply think “well that dress doesn’t suit you!”.
One last point, you mention about consenting to be in someone else fetish. I 100% agree with that. However, I also find that this gives me a dilemma in that if for example I answer the door to a delivery person who’s not expecting to see a “guy in a dress and who has boobs on display”, or if I do go out in public and into a shop, I feel in my mind that I’m potentially dragging unsuspecting people into my “fetish” (for want of a better word – especially as so many people see crossdressing as that). These are folks who otherwise won’t normally have to interact with me while I’m dressed. I’m especially mindful of people out with children as I ask myself “is it fair that they have to explain to their kids as to why that “man” is dressed in female clothing”.
Obviously it’s totally impractical and impossible to ask for everyone’s permission to be dressed in front of them, I’m well aware of that, but it is still something that plays on my mind. Is it “fair” to subject others to Davina?!
Anyway, all food for thought!!
