TransVamp has a levels system to help you determine if a particular book is right for you. The different levels - foundation, intermediate, advanced, and master - are applicable to both crossdressers and transsexuals and represent your own self-developed skills and experience presenting yourself as a woman in public. This scale is not intended to be used as a ranking system, but rather as a guide to your progress in your journey from crossdresser to transsexual. Over the years, people have abused my scale, bragging to others that they are a certain level while taunting others who did not have the same level of experience. Competitiveness will never improve our community. Reaching and exceeding personal goals will. I hope you will get a better understanding of my levels system by the time you finish reading this page.

In order to be at a certain level, you must be able to do your own hair, makeup, and clothing selection yourself. This is where my books can help you immensely.


foundation

Level 1 is the Foundation Level. This level is for:

• Crossdressers who have very little skill and experience with makeup or transformation and have almost no skill and experience dressing as a woman in public.

• Crossdressers and transsexuals who may not have a strong foundation in beautification skills and desire a thorough understanding of the basics.

If you are unsure of your level, start with Level 1.


intermediate

Level 2 is the Intermediate Level. This level is for:

• Crossdressers and transsexuals who have a thorough understanding of makeup and usually have between two to five years of skill and experience presenting themselves as women in public.

A thorough understanding means you keep up with the latest beauty trends and try to incorporate new colors and techniques into your skillset, not reuse outdated skills that don't quite work with your look. The girl starts blending into crowds and wants to learn more transformation skills to improve that passability. Most girls fall into this category even if they have much more than five years of actual experience presenting themselves as women, since much of that time may not have been in public. The skills are "almost there," but not sharp yet.


advanced

Level 3 is the Advanced Level. This level is for:

• Crossdressers and transsexuals who have an advanced level understanding of makeup and transformation and usually have between five to ten years of skill and experience presenting themselves as women in public.

• Crossdressers who take their "art" very seriously.

• Transsexuals who take their deep stealth status very seriously.

Makeup skills are razor sharp. The girl takes her beauty and presentation skills very seriously and has little problem blending into society in the day or at night. This level might be considered the beginning of deep stealth training for some. It is knowing how to look and dress appropriately for a given situation and not violating any unwritten rules of conduct when placed in certain situations. A small percentage of girls from Level 2 move on to Level 3. Perhaps 10% of all tgirls are at this level. Most crossdressers never reach this level due to physical limitations. It's not about how "sexy" you look; it's about how real you are.


master

Level 4 is the Master Level. This level is for:

• Crossdressers and transsexuals who have over ten years of experience being passable, attractive women in public at all times of the day.

• Successful daywalkers who understand the finer points of being in deep stealth.

"Passable and attractive" is not just a self-assessment, but an assessment given to you by average everyday people on a consistent basis. Many crossdressers and transsexuals have undergone additional steps, including hormone therapy and/or plastic surgery, to integrate themselves as women in society, but still understand that there are many fine points to master. A small percentage of girls from Level 3 move on to Level 4. Perhaps 5% of all tgirls are at this level and, most girls may never reach this level. Only a Master Level girl can annoint another girl to this level. Girls at this level usually mentor or teach other crossdressers and transsexuals.

To be able to reach Level 3 is a very commendable achievement. Level 4 is for in-betweeners and transsexuals, but few such people ever progress beyond level 3. So many girls have tons of experience going out in public, but still miss those finer points that would take their presentation to a whole new level. That's where my books come in. I provide you with the necessary tools to fill in those gaps so you could become the woman you were meant to be.

I am never content with being average in anything I do, so it is with great pride that I say that my look is not about being a sexy crossdresser or a sexy drag queen or even a sexy transsexual, but rather a beautiful woman. In many cases, being "sexy" rarely translates to being passable and being passable is an art that perhaps 5% of all tgirls ever achieve. Many of you might scoff at my very, very harsh assessment of how passable some of you are, but keep in mind that my hard-ass ways have turned out many passable yet shockingly beautiful women who were born in the wrong body. I'm quite serious about looking good and I hope you are, too.

Some girls, because of physical, mental, social, and even environmental situations, will never progress beyond a certain level, but it is always best for them to strive to be the best at their current level and someday they might move into the next level without even knowing it! I have had full-time transsexual friends tell me stories about how they are ridiculed every day by strangers who cannot accept them as women. I wish they had listened to me at the start of their transition instead of moving forward so quickly and aggressively.

Passability, beauty, self-acceptance, awareness, grace. These are the things that all of my readers, followers, and devotees strive to attain in order to be the best woman they can be. These five things allow or help others to accept us completely as women. None is more important than the others and all five work in unison to create a total image that transcends the look of your average transgender woman. Perfecting all five is a lifelong process.

Start the series by reading Secrets to an Awesome Makeover and How to Look Like a Woman and you will establish a strong foundation of skills that you can grow from there.

Remember to always strive to be the best in everything you do. This is the fundamental belief inherent in all of my books and if you make that tenet your own, you will be successful at everything you do.
