I have to say that after a few weeks of perusing the kind of posting here and ultimately joining in, I'm happy and impressed at how classy the general tone is here. If I look up crossdressing in a search, I usually get all the horny, sexually charged stuff that many associate with what we do.
To find a class of people that love to dress up like me, feel feminine, without being made out to seem like a freak or that I'm participating in some weird internet orgy is refreshing.
I won't lie, for me to wear women's clothing is sexually stimulating as well as relaxing and many other things I can't necessarily articulate. Having said that, I am encouraged by the maturity level and dedication and support this community seems to hold for each other.
I can say, that so far, I'd have no reason not to have friends and family come here some day to read our discussions and see what we struggle with and enjoy and how we are normal everyday people, hopefully dispelling some of the perceptions those who don't understand what we do.
That is encouraging. Cheers to all my TGirl sisters.
