This is something thats bothered me for a long time. I'm mostly interested in the gg's responses. The question is: how do you view crossdressing? Are guys paying you a compliment by trying to emulate the feminine, by aspiring to show their admiration my copying the things you wear, the way you move, the way you talk? Or, are they somehow competing with you, trying to do a better job of being a woman, wearing sexier stuff, in essence saying, "here's how you ought to do it." ? Or, are they simply a pathetic caricature of what a 'real' woman should be? Are they in effect embarrassing themselves by trying to be something they are not?
For myself, I've always liked to emulate those whom I admire. I used to try to get clothes like I'd see TV stars wearing; I'd try to integrate some aspect of a movie characters behavior or mannerisms. As a kid, I wanted to be Daniel Boone, or Superman, or whomever. And a big part of this play-acting was dressing the part. I like to see my crossdressing as a compliment, a way of saying, "I like women so much that i'd like to dress like one and act like one." But I'll also acknowledge that my dressing certainly has aspects of caricature to it; i probably do a pretty clumsy impersonation of a woman.
Thoughts and feedback?
