Absolutely, but it's my issue, not my wife's. I'm older than most here and grew up in a more repressive time. Growing up dressing was either done for comedy or it was shameful and not something males...
Those drawings form part of my earliest memories after I became interested in CDing. Used to buy those books whenever I could afford it (I was a teenager at the time). That was one of the only...
Growing up I was aware of Michael Salem's and Lee's from crossdresser magazines, but was never in a position to visit either. In Toronto the store in the 80's and 90's was 'Take a Walk on the Wild...
1) When did you start dressing? I don't remember exactly but I think it was somewhere around 10 or 11 years old.
2) At what age did you pick your name? I never picked a femme name for myself. I've...
If I was in your situation (thankfully I'm not) I would buy a wooden chest of some kind, put my 'off limits' stuff in it and lock it with a padlock or something similar. If your wife then demands you...
Hi Micki
I did speak with her about the feminine hairstyle thing, as with the stay at home stuff the whole world is going through my hair has gotten much longer than it would typically be. As a...
My situation is similar to that of 'alwayshave' and 'franlee'. My wife is quite accepting and even encouraging at times, but I don't discuss all of my purchases and I don't really dress as much as I...
I agree that can be a real issue for women, but assuming a woman is wearing the right size bra I think the discomfort has more to do with transferring the weight of the breasts to the structure of...
I was surprised by your "I don't think I'll ever find a bra comfortable" comment. It sounds like you may be wearing the wrong size bras. I have some very comfortable bras as well as some that are not...
She would say "I haven't seen you wear that in months" followed by "If you are going to clean you'll have to do a better job than that".
I don't know anything about the shop you went to but I suspect it is easier to get acceptance from businesses that provide services that are less popular than they were twenty or thirty years ago....
Over the years I have come up with various theories as to why, and I'm sure some of my theories are at least partially correct. What I always come back to though is I really like wearing a bra and...
I was a teenager in the seventies and I remember a few different resources. There were cheaply printed books of Crossdressing stories by Reluctant press and Empathy press that you could find in the...

As you can see from the range of answer you received it certainly seems to mean different things to different people. I have made myself a french maid outfit several years back that I wear...
I do have a partner and I don't feel that has any real impact on how often I dress. For me I don't think of the two things as impacting one another.
I have never been all or nothing, with no major changes from when I was a teenager to now in my fifties. I take much the same approach now as I did thirty years ago, which is typically partial...
Katie - Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading your origin story at some point.
I made one for myself that I wear once or twice a month, and my wife has seen me in it.
I think Liz is on the right track. See if you can work out something where the two of watch a show involving crossdressing (without making I obvious you arranged it) and see how she reacts. If she...
To me the issue is we are comparing the specialized group of men who dress (5% of the population?) to the entire population of women, so if I were to compare those two groups then yes I would say on...
I haven't heard a conversation like that anytime in the last few years, but if it did happen and some people in the conversation were negative about crossdressing I would be tempted to pose the...
Actually Georgette it's likely the material used in your petticoats that makes them scratchy. The less expensive ones use a somewhat stiff material to give the proper volume to the petticoats, while...
I'm not nearly as brave as you are about it, but I did 'own it' today and had a good experience. I was at Sears in drab looking at some dresses on sale. I didn't find anything I wanted/would fit in...
I can totally sympathize with the way you feel. I have been with my wife for almost thirty years, she is perfectly fine with me dressing which she has told me numerous times, and at times I still...
I agree with Jennifer. My wife sometimes encourages me to dress because she knows it makes me happy which then makes her happy, not the other way around.
