Obsessed with a natural desire
Obsessed with a natural desire
An obsession that feels natural.
I'm still new so maybe the obsession will wane in time but I don't think that the woman that I see in the mirror will ever return to the depths of repression. Nor do I want her to.
"You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
Normal.
I dress to look and feel normal.
I could pick a few of your words, but will go with my own: comfort.
I fell much more comfortable in a skirt than trousers.
I would say mine is Desire. To be happy with myself as male or female.
Part Time Girl
The natural NEED, to the TRUE ME!!!
Irrational.
It is an "unnecessary" load in my life, but also an irrational and irresistible pleasure.
My wife is afraid that I have an obsession for what she calls my hobby, although I don't agree. I do understand her, because of how my brain naturaly works I have a habit that i want to dress because I feel the need to give into my desire to feel femme. And I am afraid that if my secret comes out people i know would call it perversion.
do not label me for i am unique
Its my inner need to become sexy and feminine.
Anna
The urge to be feel sexy and for a little while pretend to be what I've desired/objectified my whole life. I'm normally a fairly reserved and shy guy, but when I'm Stephany, I feel empowered in a totally different way then I can as a guy. I have a friend who was a female runway model and described a very similar experience modeling, "Normally I'm afraid to put myself out there, but when I have my makeup done, dressed up, and put my model face on, I feel like a different person who is afraid of nothing"
Synchronize.
I dress to synchronize my external self with my internal. They're not women's clothes. They're not men's clothes. They're MY clothes. And I dress however I feel.
An overwhelming desire for peace and tranquility.
When truly and tastefully en femne, liberated - your essence untethered,,unleashed
Fulfillment!!

I don't think it can be put into a single word any more than the reason you love your wife can be put into a single word. I also don't think anyone here has a logical explanation of why they want to strap on a pair of boobs and pretend they are a woman.
I often use the term "hobby" when talking about crossdressing but it's really much more than that. If we were looking for a hobby, we would take up more socially acceptable hobbies like golf or fishing. Some of us have lost wives and families over our crossdressing so maybe it's a compulsion. Maybe it's a mental illness. Who knows?

Need before I am dressed. Peace when I am dressed. Satisfaction after (for a time until need arises again).
I don't think one word can sum up the attraction of cross dressing. For me it is a deep NEED that fills a gap in who I am and fills me with calmness and satisfaction.
It is never a hobby and NOT a perversion.
For me, it is more sexually based.....so sexual
I'm with Rachel05.... the word is ME !
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
