What can I expect
at a meeting?
-
Rather than the stereotypes you may have seen on television, you will find
that we're a bunch of pretty normal people who dress pretty much like normal
women and meet only to socialize and participate in various club functions.
Our meetings are simply an opportunity to get dressed, perhaps go out,
and be with our good friends. We range in age from our 20's to our seventies
and come from a wide range of professions. Most of us are married and some
have kids. Often our wives attend the meetings with us.

Will I be judged
on how well I "Pass."
-
No. We're not running a beauty contest. Our members range from hardly convincing
to completely passing, heavy to thin, tall to short. Some of us dress up,
and some dress down. For your first meeting, you may want to wear something
nice but not particularly sexy or dressy. When you first walk in, you will
be warmly welcomed, because you'll be among friends.

Do I have to come
dressed as a woman?
-
No. We meet at a motel where most members take a room for the weekend.
Changing facilities are available. If you wish, you may bring a change
of clothing and decide once you arrive and socialize whether you would
feel more comfortable changing. New attendees are given considerable understanding,
latitude, and assistance.

Well, then, is there a dress standard or code?
-
Not a dress code, per se. We ask that you dress within the bounds of good taste. There are often spouses present at our meetings and we do not want to offend them. Additionally, we prefer you don't wear clothing which attracts undue attention. Most of our members dress conservatively in clothing appropriate for the time of day, for women their age. Fantasy clothing is best left in your closet or perhaps at the Halloween Party.
- We do require that you dress as either a male or a female. For example, wearing a dress and a beard would not be appropriate. Like your 10 inch miniskirt, it would draw too much attention.

Will I have to reveal
my name or other personal information?
-
No. You can be as open or anonymous as you wish. We've all chosen to adopt
femme names and only rarely use last names. As a member, you'll receive
our newsletter, the Pink Slip. We'll need
a mailing address in order to send it to you, but the information will
be kept strictly confidential.

Will I be accosted
by someone looking for sex or interested in dating transgendered people?
-
Absolutely not! Those interested in meeting/dating transvestites or other
transgendered people are unwelcome at our meetings, and nothing of a sexual
nature is permitted at any meeting.

What do you do at
a meeting?
-
Our meetings are very informal. We meet at a motel whose management knows
and welcomes our members. Members begin arriving on Friday evening, and
most stay through to Sunday morning. Friday evenings are typically devoted
to conversation and dinner at an accepting restaurant. Saturday activites
range from socializing to shopping at local malls or consignment shops.
We may have a guest speaker or a video. In the early evening, everyone
dresses for dinner after a brief business meeting. Some night owls may
go out to one of Charlotte's night spots after dinner. On Sunday morning,
we gather for coffee and donuts before saying goodbye to our friends for
another month.

Do you charge for
membership?
-
We have a very low membership fee which basically covers the cost of mailing
the newsletter to you every month. We also collect a meeting fee from attending
members to defray the cost of our meeting room and other expenses.

Must I be a Tri-Ess
member to join Kappa Beta?
-
No, but you must be a member of Tri-Ess in order to be a voting member
of Kappa Beta.
