How do you explain it?

[Starr]

If your SO or some one close to you asks why you enjoy wearing women’s clothes? How would you answer that?

[Karren H]

Well my typical answer is I'm driven to crossdress.... When my wife asked me I told her I liked to crossdress which isn't really the same. Having to and liking to are sometimes mutually exclusive...

[Valerie1973]

Well, we never have a quick and witty answer. I tried to answer that one with, "What the @#*! does it matter!" That did not go over too well, however, we just try to answer in our best lady like manner.

[Chickhe]

That is the impossible one to answer, all I can say is it is something I need to explore and I might as well have fun with it.

[suchacutie]

My answer is specific: I have a feminine side and I want to know who she is. She is part of me and if I don't give her the space to become herself I am denying or at least ignoring an important part of me. How can I possibly do that?

[MaryAnn40c]

My simple answer is "because I can". I feel that I had the body and stronge will to do so. I never worried about what other think or said.

[Angiemead12]

because It feels normal for me.

[Stephenie S]

Come on, now. You are searching for something too elusive.

You think you SHOULD be able to answer so you agonize over the question.

But really, there IS no logical, rational answer other than, " Because I like to."

Really now, why do you hunt? Why do you like hot rods? Why do you like opera? Or whatever. There is NO reason other than you like to do it. And you owe no one any further explanation.

Don't worry. Relax over this.

Because they feel good and they look good on me.

[Rachel Morley]

If I was you I would say something along the lines of:

"My gender (the sex of my brain) is more aligned with what is considered "typically female". It's difficult for me to fit the standard mold of a "regular man" in society. I find relief from these feelings when I present myself as "female" or dress in feminine clothes. When I do this, I'm showing on the outside what I feel on the inside.

It’s kind of like having a gender vacation. It's not a hobby, it effects me emotionally way too much to be a hobby, it's real and it's an integral part of who I am as a person. I know I can't be truly happy without incorporating it into my life in some way, shape, or form."

[nvlady]

For the same reason my eyes are blue.
I was born that way.

[Inna]

Gender specific clothing reinforces objective representation of ever present feminine marker within sexual brain imprint and through imagery provides unequivocal and unambiguous vessel to achievement of balance.

[NikiMichelle]

I say "because it is who I am".

[Nick2Nikki]

Because I feel like it. That's it.

[thechic]

Now days i just tell them the truth, im a woman with a male exterior

[Patty B.]

Because it is who I am, driven to yes. Are you right handed or left handed, and why are you like that?

[Melody Phillips]

I told her it was something deep inside me that makes me feel good and It is something I was meant to do.

[tricia_uktv]

I think my sig explains it

[dominique]

Well I told my wife that it was something inside me that I couldn't hide and wanted to express myself as a woman.

[Jeanna]

Because I Love it.

[Amanda Styles]

I think my response would be, I enjoy wearing them for the same reason you do, they feel good, and make me feel good while wearing them.

[Kate Simmons]

I would probably say choice, although if we could "legally" do it, I doubt it would be as exciting.

[Jessica Who]

I basically say that I have a very strong feminine side and I am very "in touch" with it

[Petra.Briar]

Because I enjoy getting in touch with my feminine side....plus it feels great!

[Jamie48]

I don't know. My wife says it is my fem side. She is right I am drawn to it & always have been.
