TBFS Girls: Debra/Bianca

For over three decades, our mission has been to provide a safe space for the exploration of gender identity. We offer transfeminine individuals and crossdressers a supportive environment to focus entirely on their own paths. Our philosophy is clear — identity is a personal truth that belongs solely to you, not to the expectations of others. Welcome to a community where you can truly feel at home — and where every individual is treated with dignity.

What’s your name? What are your pronouns?
Bianca Rose, she/her. Although if I’m in regular mode (see below), Debra. Still she/her though.

Where are you located? (Just the state is OK!)

Yorkshire in the north of England.

What’s your favorite thing about expressing your feminine side?

Escapism mostly. There’s something incredibly affirming about looking in the mirror post-transformation and instead of seeing a plain middle-aged slightly overweight guy there seeing a stunning blonde/redhead bombshell smiling back at you instead.

How would you describe your style?

It all depends. Some days I’m happy to just throw on a casual dress or a top and skirt plus a quick bit of foundation, lippy and mascara and chill out and that’s when I’m Debra, my normal femme self. But sometimes I’ll want to go full glam with luxurious lingerie, a posh evening dress or maybe a smart secretary outfit, heels, bling and full makeup and that’s when Bianca comes out - she’s kind of like the drag queen/burlesque dancer side of me really. Think one part Sam Fox, one part Lily Savage and one part Jessica Rabbit and you wouldn’t be too far off!!

Where are your favorite places to shop?

Most of my stuff comes from Shein with the occasional Ebay purchase - glamour on a budget!

What piece of advice would you share to someone starting dressing?

Don’t be afraid. You will make mistakes, we all do, and if this side of you has been cooped up unable to express herself for a long time then it’s only natural to want to go full steam ahead with it when you first get the courage to let her out. In time you’ll find your groove and settle on a look you’re comfortable with. And as scary as things may seem for our community in the current climate, you owe it to yourself to get the chance to express the real you. So just go for it - you’re braver than you think, you know!!
