Transvestite couple wearing hot pants

Someone mentioned a few days ago about the two trannies, (dunno if I can spell transvestites properly), who go around Munich. They got on my u-bahn a couple of hours ago. One was wearing the shortest of shorts and the other had a 'tasche. Flamboyantly dressed as per usual, handbags the lot. Now, I'd like to think of myself as being quite liberal but these guys just made me feel sick. Everyone else were sniggering away but I was just repulsed. They didn't look very happy to me, but maybe they just had a tiff. I've seen them having a go at each other before and they can be quite bitchy. I know all about live and let live but why did they make my stomach turn? Before someone else says it I'm not a closet tranny so that wasn't the reason. Love to see them walk through my home town dressed like that. They wouldn't last two minutes.

Updates: photos on page 4 and even better photos on page 6

There's another discussion here that includes lots about these two - Nutters, freaks, and wierdos spotted around Munich. They get noticed by TT'ers a lot, and always look like they've just had a tiff. I think they're cute, and they don't do any harm. Brightens my day when I see them.

As to why they made your stomach turn? No idea. What did you eat for lunch?

I remember when "tranny" meant "radio".
Those were the days.

We are not all as old and innocent as you mate.

That was my first thought too, Jeeves.

i don't know why it would make your stomach turn. intolerance and bigotry make my stomach turn more than anything else

Not meant to be a pun. Trannies who go round like that have more bollocks in their varnished little finger nail that a dozen "hard blokes" put together.

This couple were first reported on TT back in August 2003:


I saw the same couple going into the O2 shop on Marienplatz the other day.

We badly need a photo.

I like the fact that he feels so secure as a man, he doesn't feel threatened by their presence.

Not everyone is born to feel good in their body, so they make changes as they deem necessary. They aren't hurting you, so where is the problem.

I saw the two nutters at Sendlinger Tor a few weeks ago I meant to try and take a pic of them with my phone but I was driving and the traffic lights went green! they were wearing yellow this time...teeny tiny pants and cropped tops.
wonder what their story is...someone must know them!

I know exactly what you mean. Personally, I think that the rather queasy feeling I get could easily be chalked up to my suspicion that they are siblings. They certainly look enough alike to be. And I think that's where it goes weird for me, because if they are...err...and if they aren't, what drove them to pick a mate that looked so much like themselves?

Perhaps I've a thing against narcissism? Sort of like the Cruise/Cruz Paris/Paris couplings...just generally makes me feel a bit green around the gills. Only with these two, it looks to be more than just a name.

Man, under the topic of which Munich Nutters would win in a cage match: I wish the rat people and the tranny twins would have it out. That would be a hard call. Course its easy to say peeps with rats must have cojones but the trannies, well I guess they got cojones plus stilletos and a handbag. Hard call really.

@ Topsy..I can tolerate them and don't think I was being bigoted..If they made me feel sick then so be it.I can't change that
@ Monkstown..agreed but you don't know the " hard blokes " that I grew up with.

They travel the U4/5 line a lot. See them often...never seen them having a tiff, always seem happy to me.

I need to get out more, I have missed them and the Rat people. I feel so left out!

Munich needs more of these people. I salute them for having the courage to walk around like that in the Hauptstadt der Bewegung.

OOOOHHHH! I saw these two at Walmart a month ago wearing bright lime green SEQUINED tube tops and matching tiny short-shorts with their little cheekies hanging out! I was in hysterics over the sight, and god bless them for making my Walmart experience a little more enjoyably weird. (that place can be so surreal sometimes... think it's the bad flourescent lighting and the 'Walmart Radio' jingle that plays over and over on the loudspeakers) Would love to know what their story is, and hey... everyone should just enjoy them. In a town with very few freaks (I'm from San Francisco area and have to admit I do miss the freaks!) this gives you a little taste of all the beautifully different people out there in the world. Completely funny and harmless.

They are a Munich landmark and the Sueddeutsche (or indeed TT) should do a piece on them and find out the answers to many questions:
Who are they?
Do they own more than one pair of hot pants?
What is their inspiration?
Why?
Do they ever get cold or do they just stay at home when it snows?
Do they care for the stares?
Is there a fan club?
The pair of them fascinate me frankly, I'm always pleased to hear of a sighting as it means that they are still ok.

Not seen these two, maybe where I live is too respectable?

I seen them in June near the HBF they were having an slagging match with a cyclist. Laugh?, I nearly paid me rent

I walked around a corner in the Pinakothek der Moderne to see this couple, dressed identically in leopard-print mini-skirts, scarlet red tube tops, furry leopard-print shawls, black stockings and red high heels. Both their heads were shaved and reflecting the bright museum lights. They were wearing lots of make-up (blue eyeshadow and red lipstick). They looked so alike the only difference seemed their height. They were standing in front of a painting, looking serious in their study of it. I wasn't sure if they were part of the exhibit or not! I finally concluded they were just visitors to the museum like me but it was a surreal moment.

Maybe I am thinking of a different pair. The ones that I have seen repeatedly have long blonde hair.

The ones I know have long blonde hair and I've usually seen them either on the U4/U5 line or in Saturn on Schwanthalerstr. I'd probably put them about early to mid forties. Usually wearing hot-pants and long boots. Them, not me.

someone take a pic of em next time to show other TTers we's telling the truth!!

I'm pretty sure the blonde hair do's are wigs. Maybe we can make this a new TT competition. First mission, photo evidence they exist. Second mission, discover if they wear wigs.
The prize will be a potato.

Hmmm...maybe I saw another couple, then.

They could be wigs, but they seem real to me. Just saw them last night on the U-bahn.

OK, maybe the bald, shiny heads are wigs then?
Sorry brokenm, no potato. We need better confirmation than that.

could be a survivor challenge- to get a photo of the two.

I see these two everywhere too.

They are always in such a rush.

They seem to walk past my office (near Hbf) relatively frequently. The hair looks like wigs even from two floors up.

That's only because it is the wind swept look of a perfect coiffed doo is meticulously blow dried before they leave their flat.

Aren't they gorgeous? I used to see them regularly in the streetcar 19 - in the summer they wore lemon-colored hot-pants and halter tops and long dangly bead necklaces. Not to mention 70-stlye bug-eyed sunglasses. Cruised the Maximilianstrasse on that tram.

Sounds like the Survivor mission #1 here. I think it's the same couple, if bald or blonde. I've seen them too, nearly fell off my bike craning my neck to see if it was really them. They were blonde at the time.

Great idea Gen! That should be a survivor mission.

This seems like a good moment to point out that The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert now plays every Wednesday night at Museum Lichtspiele at 10:00pm.

If you can't see the HPTwins in real life, go watch some others on-screen.

that would be a good night out, i'm sure - we could maybe go there on one of our GBV outings

I have no idea if it is the same couple, but last year, in a clothes shop near the viktualien markt, in the driving snow, my wife and I saw a couple of chaps holding hands wearing outlandish clothes. Nothing remarkable in that but one had a live parrot on his shoulder (I had to look twice but I heard it before I saw it). They looked errrrrr, close (the two chaps, not the chaps and the parrot). Certainly turned a few heads!!

Was it a parrot? Or a Cock or two

That made me laugh!!! It was a green parrot. We heard a squawk and assumed it was kids messing around but these two chaps appeared and one had the aforementioned bird on his shoulder. I thought they were just messing around but the parrot squawked again and flapped its wings. The lovely threesome then wandered off towards marienplatz in the driving snow!!! Parrot didn't seem to mind.

I was also in Koblenz in the summer with my father in law and saw a giant bloke (I am 6' 3" and he towered over me) decked out in full leather "blue oyster club" garb, complete with leather hat and chain around it. It was hilarious because he had a tiny leather studded waistcoat on with a vast sun-burnt beer belly sticking out that was a geniune danger in a built up area. He did not seem to give a toss though. He was either "real" or a rugby player that was having to endure some sort of hideous punishment. My father in law nearly had a hernia through laughter!!!

Just saw the boys on the U4. This season we are going with a lot of pink. Bloke A was sporting a pair of pink flannel tracksuit bottoms and a white t-shirt and accessorised with a pink handbag. Bloke B had a pink sleeveless top on with leopardskin hotpants and white boots. Both are sporting fantastic leathery suntans. Schplendid!

Sleeveless? This guy is more butch than I thought!

Not from where I was standing, he was also wearing large pink sunglasses

@ Keydeck - I thought you always carried your digicam?

Left it in the bloody office, gutted. It was a Kodak moment if ever there was one. Need to pick it up before the parade tomorrow.

U4/5 (east branch) and streetcar 19 are their regular haunts. Shall we organize some kind of patrol? Who lives along there? Finger on shutter, friends! (I bet they wouldn't even mind being photographed if we ask nicely.)

I feel like the only person who has never seen these two! I really need to get out more!

Hey Carm, you are too young to be senile!
So stop saying "I need to get out more" and just GET OUT MORE!

Besides, I haven't seen them either, so you can rest at ease.

Are they two middle aged guys, with blonde hair, wearing boots and open tops with nipple rings? I've seen them quite a few times in the summer walking around, waving their handbags. I guess you just have to accept that kind of thing living in a city where you can sunbath naked in a full view of the public on a sunday afternoon. Actually it could be any day of the week, if you can get the time off work!

LSB- what 4 months has passed inbetween the two comments, and I still have not seen the wierdos! And I do get out. Just obviously hanging the wrong neighbourhoods.
