Many of us on here seem to have it pretty much together as to who we are and what we enjoy. In the case of crossdressing it seems that some of us are into it and good at it, so why don't we just go ahead and go through the process and get the transition operation from male to female? Quite honestly I could as I'm in touch with all of my feelings and could fulfill either role in society with equal ease.In the early 1970's this is what I thought I wanted to do but for some reason changed my mind, got married and raised a family which may never have happened if I got the operation. I have never regretted that decision.
Even so, why not just get the operation? To be perfectly honest CDing is near and dear to me and close to my heart. Besides being an art form for me, I just plain enjoy doing it and what goes along with it like dancing and performing. I guess it's part of the showman in me. I actually enjoy changing back to male as well as these facets are all very much a part of me.
Couple that with the fact that I've been retired the last 12 years and can pretty much do what I want and things look pretty good from my perspective. Since retiring I have been able to concentrate on the more important things like friendships and showing compassion and empathy towards others and practicing true altruism. That being the case I am many things to many people in both modes and do what I can to help.I know I can't change the world but will do what I can with my time left here.
If I can help others understand the CDing process they experience more, that in itself is my reward. I have already transitioned more or less in mind and spirit so doing it physically would only be a formality for myself.
