What Is The Best Thing You Like About Crossdressing And Why?


Guest Patricia

I have only just revisited this thread so hope my reply to your question isn't too late.

Crossdressing allows me to express my feminine side that I am unable to do dressed in drab. :D

I am happy as a male most of the time but would be equaly happy if i had been born a female.

I have to accept my lot in life such as commitments to my family and friends, but if a fairy godmother were to offer me a magic pill that would transform me into a woman I think i would probably jump at the chance.

To further answer your question dressing for me is both special and necessary and nothing could prevent me from living my life this way. :rolleyes:

Thanks very much! (And, no, it's not too late... I'm still in the process of writing... Writing is always a very loooong and ongoing process for me :P)

Ilove the look of womens clothing and how lingrie feels against my skin. At first it was curoisity, thensexual, and now I just enjoy the look and the feel and how I can be me and relax. Also another reason is I can go out and shop and mingle with other ladies doing what I love, and that is being feminine. Love Amber L.

I find im very relaxed and at ease when I dress. It used to be just panties and a few other things on occasion. Now I like dressing up more completely. I love wearing heels, wearing a bra, putting on lipstick and actiing a feeling very girly. I so enjoy my femimine side.

Emotionally - like some others here, I have come to see it as part of dealing with another underlying issue, like depression.

What do I love? Well I have only done nail polish and undergarments.

I love how the nailpolish makes my nails so pretty looking, rather than beat up or just blah as on a normal day. I have large lips and I (admittedly) find them so very sexy with red lip gloss. Maybe one day I'll get doing makeup right and enjoy that too.

The undergarments, well, I love the somewhat tightness of a bra (plus with a wee case of gynecomastia, I love how my chest sticks out with one on) and panties. THe women's underwear just fits so much nicer, I can feel it, and tends to look better too (colors, lace, etc).

A someone else mentioned, there seems to be a sexual high in it for me too. Seeing myself in red gloss, with my chest sticking out and panties, even if under my man clothes, I feel if I would let someone take me right there if the opportunity arose.

I enjoy it mostly because I can express my feminine side and escape the daily "me". Women have so much more variety in the clothes they can wear. My wife and I recently went to Victoria's secret and I told her that she's lucky to have some many options for under garments plus all the other things like shoes pants etc. It sure beats being a guy wearing the same plain boring stuff

I love expressing my feminine side. If I had my way I would dress as a girl 24/7. Its great to leave my male persona behind and retreat into my Womanly world. I start to feel like a Woman as soon as I pull the wasteband up on my lovely tights. I feel even more girly once I put my dress or skirt and top on. I used to feel guilty about dressing, but I don't anymore. I just love expressing my feminine side. I feel like a different person when I am Roberta, I just want to be soft gentle and feminine, the way I have felt all my life.

For me it makes me feel complete and whole, I always felt unfulfilled when I used to try to suppress my dressing habits, this used to cause me many problems, depression, anger, eating disorder to name a few, and it was not until recently that I fully understood and realized that. I wish our society would realize that the lines of gender are not black and white, and that they should be fluid and free flowing, the way the human spirit itself is. If the essence of what we are is that way, free flowing and fluid, then should not our lives reflect that outwardly, in how we dress, and present ourselves to the rest of the world.

Hugs,

I have always been very 'soft' inside and never fitted with the masculine world. It has caused me years of frustration, anger and depression until I recently re-started cross-dressing and discovered what had been inside. I dress to escape my male role, not to 'express' my feminine side (because that is very present 24/7 anyway) and I totally adore the colours and fabrics women get to wear (lucky ladies). I love to dress fully, I don't have any sexual urges for underwear or anything. I love to see myself a fully presented female. I don't bother with make up other than light lipstick. I used to wear wigs but now I'm just a short-haired girl. The best part of CD for me is being home, dressed and getting on with my day. It feels so natural and right. I am not gay or camp in anyway - just a man who is bi-gender, wandering between expressing myself the way I feel. And I am happier now than I have been for years. The other best bit of cross-dressing for me is my awesome boot collection. A girl can't have too many boots! And I am the Imelda Marcos of boots. I can quite understand the joke about women and shoes. I know it for the truth!

Question, last week I gave all my male clothes to goodwill, I have lived full time as a woman for over a year, am I still a crossdresser. Like Tesa said "it just feels right" and that goes double for me.

Not any one thing. I enjoy the feel of the lingre, hose, etc. The click of my heels, the smell of my make up, looking in the mirror and seeing that I did a great job getting dressed and the wonderful feeling of passing as I go shopping or just getting out and about. I wish it could be forever.

that im dressed, stress just melts away.

For me this is a hard question to answer I nearly blew a fuse as all the best things about my CD came cascading through my mind... I can only state that among my best things is the sheer thrill in Michelle when she receives a frilly from Michael and can't wait to try it on! This makes me sound bi polar?!! I have never addressed these sort of questions out loud in the environment so I think I am separating the parts of me in order to try to explain what is occurring in the thought process ... then it is just starting to dawn on me that it may be very common. Right. a new best thing! I am by no means new to Cross Dressing but it has always been clandestine - I am at present working on a post re this - but to have discovered this site - a site that doesn't bomb one's email address with sucker ads for my cash et al - and then I am slowly finding what a lot of kindred spirits there are out there! Yes that's my latest best thing!

Hi Michelle

I think you hit a nail on the head for me. Kind of "Bi-Polar". That really rings true for me. I have a sort of dual personality that is both Eve and my male original. Daily at work, I am always both in my head, but I have to present male. Once I get home from work I spend a little while chilling as Eve before reverting to male for the family. But I under-dress all the time throughout. So I have two lives living like ghosts inside. But the lovely thing is that I have no conflict between the two. I simply move from one side to the other as the circumstances allow. I saw the term "bi-gender" a while back and applied it to myself. But now I've drifted back to "transgender" because I feel that suits better the sliding scale of being femme and male. But the feeling of a sort of bi-polar is really appropriate and is a good metaphor for how things turn out.

One thing I have discovered about myself is I am already very feminine, so I don't dress to express that side, I dress to reject my male side and accept what is already me. I took three different tests several times and each hit 75% inside the female oriented score each time. Can't really deny that!

But I love your idea of a sort of bi-polar. The concept fits well. Thanks!

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
