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

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.

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.

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!

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
