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

[Guest CharlieRose]

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.

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.

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 )

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.

Best part of cd i love can be tied up in a pretty bow with just 3 words..."It Feels Right"

[Guest Jamie_cd]

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.

[Guest leopron]

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,

Leopron

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!

What more can I say,...Tesa Already said it!

[Guest rikkicd64]

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.

Rikki.....

[Guest Wendae]

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.

[Guest kimberly c]

For me I love the feel of the clothes, it feels right to wear panties and a bra. I feel more relaxed and in tune with my body. I love every minute

that im dressed, stress just melts away.

Love Kim

[Guest MichellePetite]

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!

[Guest Eve Caillard]

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!

[Guest baily]

I luv 2 crossdress cause like most I love the way I feel when I dress fem and I love how women's clothes feel. Its like being able to express my feminie side threw crossdressing. Which is so sweet as it is totally harmless exihilerating. To bad alot of people don't agree or think that way. Oh well 2 each is own.

[Guest Roberta-Belinda]

I totally agree with you , could not agree more hon.
