    Interestingly, CL, many of us have asked OURSELVES that very question! I did. When I began dressing 15 years ago at age 50+.

    It took me nearly 3 years to feel SURE I wasn't! How did I figure it out? The same way MOST eventually do! I'm just NOT attracted to anything or anyone masculine!

    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    I love all the choices, the colors, the styles, and mostly the way the soft fabrics feel against my skin. I have a very strong feminine side that does not at all transfer to my sexual orientation. I love the way a skirt feels against my legs, the feel of yoga pants...snug yet soft...the flared legs bouncing about, the feel of soft satin panties sliding under my pants, the way a bra holds my chest, the way a nightie sways when I walk, the look of pretty painted toenails instead of plain yellowing nails. I love all that is feminine, but most of all, I love women! I guess I am just a lesbian trapped in a man's body!

    How is it a man can desire to dress like a man and be interested in men? The clothes do not make the man... or the woman.
    I love, adore, admire, respect, cherish and lust after women. Maybe so much that I want to feel like and look like what it is I so appreciate. Most women are attracted to men. But that is one thing about being a woman I will pass on. The line is drawn on who I am sexually attracted to ONLY women. Not interested in being gay at all.

    I think it is more rejecting the mssculine role. I associate with women and most things feminine.

    Hmmm . . do I sense a troll hereabouts?
    I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back keep me here to wait for me so I don't go back out and miss myself when I return.

    Perhaps, but the discussion might be valuable nonetheless.

    Gender has little to do with sexuality. I treasure women and things feminine in both my male and female modes.

    two words: lipstick lesbian

    okay a couple more words.. generally ppl regard the female body as beautiful and the male body as ugly and lumpy.
    in fact I recall a female teacher in HS saying essentially this very thing about her own opinions on the male body

    So who wants to be ugly and lumpy? As a male teenage student it was definitely an offensive thing to hear, but I was too young and immature to find the words to express my feelings

    Most of us love feminine things including women and feel confined by the rules of masculinity. I have no desire to be intimate with a man. A few may, everyone is different. The vast majority of crossdressers are heterosexual.
    Plus men's clothes are sooo boring.

    That's the question that tormented me for decades growing up. The answer I came up with was... "Ya just can be that way". Crossdressing and sexual orientation are two completely separate things...

    Here is an idea, possible troll.

    Give it a try. There is nothing in the male wardrobe that feels like the clothing choices women get. NOT ONE.

    Also, if you look at history, most of the clothing that are considered "feminine" were at one time worn exclusively by MEN. That's right. High heeled shoes, born out of combat, hosiery, born out of Roman soldiers needing leg coverings on cold days. Skirts were worn by men long before pants.

    But that is besides the point. "feminine" clothing just feels nice to wear.

    I know I am not gay because I have given it a try.

    I am having qualms with the possibility a really gorgeous TS might have a liking to me. (she is MtoF).

    I like women, and love their style choices and think it is absolute bogus BS that just because I was born male, that I cannot look beautiful or exotic in my own way by use of clothing and makeup.

    I love women, I love the way they look....sometimes I want to be one. Penelope Cruz is so pretty and sexy to me, that I find myself studying pictures of her too much. I love all things feminine, I just do. It's that simple. I could elaborate more on the topic, but I won't.

    I have no physical interest in men. If I did, I'd be thinking of manly hands and buff torsos, but I dont. Truth is, even my gay friends who know about me don't even get me. There's a saying amongst gay men, and it goes like this: A hard man is good to find. ......that's not me.

    I am a crossdresser and I freely admit that!! I am also a heterosexual man, and have absolutely no desire to have a "gay' relationship. In over 70 years of being a CD, I have never wanted that kind of relationship and still don't! And I do think that a great many other crossdressers will say pretty much the same thing!! As others have said CD'ing and sexual orientation are 2 entirely different things!!

    If you are repelled or queasy about the masculine in yourself, you might well not be interested in the masculine in others.

    If your not sure, try it yourself. Now what you try is up to you. Me? Well i am one of the ones that are bi-curious. But I also find that I am more turned off by a hairy out of shape man more than anything. I also find some people just plain cute.
    I am an equal opportunist when it comes to liking people in any shape, color or creed.

    A troll?

    Only if it is a crossdressing troll.

    It was only a question of curiousty. I don't get how I can (me not you or any other person) look at a women and want to "get in her pants" both sexually and physically. Guess its a desire to be more like that whichwe desire.

    There. I killed the troll.
