It comes and goes. I've been doing it a lot less as I've gotten older. Nevertheless I am indeed more drawn to it when I am stressed. It's something that I do just for me, a secret pleasure....

Like Stephanie47, I wish I didn't do this! But in my case, I think it's that I'm sexually attracted to the feminine: pretty girls and the pretty clothes they wear. It is this attraction that compels...
You may be feeling bad about yourself because you have experienced your mother's disapproval. If that's it, try to remember that your mother is human, that she had an emotional reaction that...
I am truly touched! Fabulous letter!!!
We're all sisters in this venture. When one of us is accepted, we are all accepted. The converse is also true, BTW.
It's just semantics. Perhaps you fit some definitions of "crossdresser" and not others. Regardless of the semantics, you have something in common with the rest of us: on occasion, you wear the...
I also find dressing to be a stress reducer. It may be because Patty is a different person than the one who is experiencing the stress, so it's an escaspe. Alternatively, it's a reversion to...
My stash is in a cargo carrier, designed to strapped to the roof of a car, in my attic. Within in are several garment carriers and various totes.
I fit the mold: I was two older sisters who got a lot of attention for their clothes. One of my earliest memories was about my jealousy of me sister's pretty red petticoat. My mom and sis gave in and...
I vote for female voice, if you have a good one. Presumably, you want to present as a woman, rather than as a dude in a dress. But first make sure you do have a passable female voice by listening to...
I'll tell you the stupidest thing I ever did. I am totally in the closet; wife doesn't have a clue. About the only time I can dress is when she's away from home. There was this lovely weekend in...
Sounds like the perfect setting for a first time out. Have you made plans for your next adventure?
When I'm dressed as a man, I go for as manly as possible (considering I'm 60). En femme, I go for as girly as possible. I don't think either is compensating, per se. I think that in each case I want...
When I was your age, I did exactly the sort of thing you did, stopping and playing with some random kids. (Have times really changed that much?) I don't THINK that was the problem. I agree with...
Interesting theory, but I'm not aware of any evidence to support the notion that it's nature vs nurture. In my case, I can think of environmental factors that may have led me to desire female...
Don't let your judgement be impaired by the pink fog. As much as you would like to come out to her, are you sure she will be accepting? The fact that she called you a pervert, even though in jest,...
Crossdressing and weight-training are not mutually exclusive. If you choose to continue to lift, wear long sleeve dresses. That’s what I do (I also work out with weights).
I have an anorexic aunt who doesn't think she has a problem. You're ahead of the game since you know you have a problem. Absolutely, if you haven't done so already, seek counseling.
The guys who made these comments consider crossdressing perverted, and they were performing put-down "humor." Way back in the 70's, when I was in high school, there was a clique of boys who'd call...
If you feel a line is being crossed, then yes - a line is being crossed, a subjective one for you.
If you perhaps have some fear of going too far, consider making greater efforts to enhance the...
If I were single, I'd ask you to marry me.
I hope you post the story of that summer one of these days!
The great thing about wearing a burka: it would be EASY to pass.
We apparently have sisters in Saudi Arabia:
Saudi Arabia: Alleged Transvestites Sentenced to Brutal Flogging
From a distance, the biggest giveaway is the proportion of hips to shoulders (that's why some of us like to wear hip padding). Up close, big hands are a common tell (I love the winter, when I can...
Suggestion: identify a pretty outfit that you'd love to have to have, but you need to lose the weight to fit in and look good. Picture yourself wearing it, and focus on this image anytime you start...
