Finishing School Teaches Transgender Women How to Live as Ladies

For many transgender women, learning to live as a lady is a challenge tackled in secret. But now, thanks to a revolutionary ‘Trans Finishing School’, transitional women are being trained how to move, dress and even speak like ladies. ‘Le Femme’ finishing school in New Jersey, U.S, was created by Ellen Weirich, who dedicates her life to helping trans women feel confident and comfortable in their feminine skin. The curriculum, led by ‘Lady Ellen’ includes how to walk gracefully in heels, how to speak like a lady, how to dress according to body shape and how to create a convincing cleavage.
