Self acceptance and self discovery. It may lead into being seen and accepted by others one day but right now, I just need answers for myself.

Do you want acceptance? Of course.
Do you want no one to react to you, even if they recognize you as transgender? I don't want anyone bothering me.
Do you want to pass? Would be nice, but never going to happen.
Is the most important thing to you that your SO accepts you? It would be nice. But at this point, I know the odds, so I'm not going to push the issue.
Is the most important thing to you that society accepts you? Same as #1. Otherwise we'll forever be in danger of attack just because of who we are.
Do you want to feel able to wear what you want without anyone judging you? People will always have an opinion; always. I just don't expect any cruel responses, it's simply not civilized.
Do you want to feel the excitement of doing something that isn't expected of you? No
Do you want to be seen? Don't care.
Do you you to be seen and recognised and accepted? I'm assuming the second 'you' should be 'want'. So, I don't want to be recognized as a crossdresser. If however they do, being accepted would be appropriate.
Do you want women to recognise you as a man dressed in women's clothes and their reaction to be intrigue? I want them to understand that it's no different from when they dress up in men's clothes; we wear what we feel good in. That shouldn't be an issue.
Do you want women to compliment you on your attire? If it's genuine, sure. But all too often I've had people tell me stuff that I know isn't true, and it's really irritating. 'Gee you lost weight!' 'Ow, it's so big!' 'you look at least 10 years younger than you are' 'I like a man with a little mean on his bones'. So, for decades I've listened to so many women lie to each other about how good they look, and then rip them to shreds once out of hearing range. So no, I can do without all the false compliments.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
I want to be a human being and enjoy my life.
♫I cant stand to fly, I'm not that naive. I'm just out to find the better part of me. I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane, I'm more than some pretty face beside a train. Its not easy to be me.♫
I want to have peace of mind, its as though what is happening to me although very pleasurable there is still turmoil. dressing at home and able to go out into the garden, are not enough. Its as though we are living a somewhat secret life. I so wish there was a more acceptable world out there for us so that we can go about our lives as we wish.
Well, I already have a very supportive wife, as from my previous posts can elaborate.
I want everyone to have such a supportive wife/SO/husband.
