1. No - there are many things that I like to do in male mode, mostly sports.
2. I am very happily married, and my wife enjoys my dressing occasionally, but she married a male and I respect that our intimate times are completely hetero.
3. It helps me relax and unwind. I enjoy the sensuous aspect of it, and now that I am older the need for sexual release has declined.
4. Yes, but I also can feel special in male mode.
5. Yes - it is part of who I am. I like to think of the "trait" as gender-enhanced.

Thank you for sharing ColleenShivas.

[Lilith Moon]

1. Do you want to dress fulltime?

Would like to..if that included jeans/top for chores.

Why?
I don't know.


2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime?

No.

Do they understand any of your dressing?

No, although she tries, sometimes, if the moon is in the first quarter...or something.


3. Why do you dress?

I don't know. I dressed when I was very young and asexual. Then sex arrived. From then onwards CD-ing and fetishism became tangled and interelated. Now I am getting older the fetishism has declined (but still present) while my CD-ing needs are as strong as ever.


4. Do you feel special when you dress?

Yes.


5. Is dressing very important to you?

Yes, very.

why? I don't know but if I thought I could never dress again I don't know what I would do. Circumstances prevent me from dressing as much as I used to but I live in hope that this might change one day...take that hope away from me and...I don't know what would happen to me.

[DonnaT]

1. Do you want to dress fulltime?

If you mean fully enfemme, wig etc. NO.

I dress in some way most of the time now.

What I want is to be free to dress anyway I wish any time I wish. Like, just wearing a skirt in male mode. My wife does not.

Why? Why not?! I'm transgendered, but not transsexual. I have a need that I appear to have been born with, and shouldn't have to deny satisfying that need, when it hurts no one.

2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime? Do they understand any of your dressing?

No, and Yes, she understands. She doesn't particularly like it, however.

3. Why do you dress?

Answered above at 1.

4. Do you feel special when you dress?

No. I just feel complete.

5. Is dressing very important to you? why?

Yes. Why is answered in 1.

1) Wear panties most of the time, they are more comfortable than men underwear.
2) No partner at this time, and no they didn't understand at all when I had a partner.
3) Feels natural to be dress in feminine attire and at ease with myself.
4) No.
5) Yes, we should be able to dress how we feel about ourselves.

[joann07]

1. Do you want to dress fulltime? Why?

Would like to, but there are things that I also like to do as a guy so if I could spend half my time dressed and half my time in drab, that would be great.

2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime? Do they understand any of your dressing?

Never married or been in any kind of relationship

3. Why do you dress?

Started because of a foot and pantyhose fetish. Still have my fetishes, but now that I dress more frequently, it makes me feel more relaxed and less stressed.

4. Do you feel special when you dress?

Yes.

5. Is dressing very important to you? why?

Yes.

Not sure why, since I've only started fully dressing for about a year, but there's something about being in femme that makes me feel good about myself and it brings out a new found confidence.

[gail price]

1. Well yes it would be nice to dress more often. But my partner does not know Gail.
2. I think i have answerd the second question.
3. Because it simply feels good. i am more relaxed, and i feel good about myself.
4. Yes i feel very special about my self. I beleave that what i am is something very special.
5. As i have said it's very special. i think we cd's are are a privalidged (spelling please) to have what we have. If we use it right the feeling of being woman is GREAT!!

How about you

[Carol A]

#1
Yes if it were possible, I dress everyday while the Grandkids are in school.

#2
My wife of 44 years is very supportive, she understands why I dress.

#3
Because since I was a teenager I didn't like being a boy.

#4
No I feel like who I should be.

#5
It's who I am since I was a teenager, I too feel complete.

[Veronica Fallon]

1) Fulltime? If I didn't need my male side at times still, I'd want to be my feminine self 24/7 because I feel "whole" as a woman. Dressing greatly enhances my feelings of femininity & just feels "right" for me. It balances my spirit like nothing else can.

2) Partner? My partner understands my dressing (as much as any of us do) & would prefer me dressed full-time. And I try my best to please her!!

3) Why? see #1 above

4) Special? Rather than making me feel special in & of itself, my dressing helps put me in a place where I can see & connect with the "specialness" inherent in me already.

5) Important? Yes. Since it doesn't create the femininity in me, I think I could live without dressing, but I'm sure the lack of womanly expression would be very difficult & unpleasant to endure. My feminine aspect gives me things truly essential to my overall well-being & happiness, & dressing helps it manifest more purely & deeply within me. I wouldn't give it up unless forced!

[Claudia Zylindrias]

1. Do you want to dress fulltime? As in fully en-femm, no. Would I wear a dress or skirts and some combination of womens clothes then yes. Why? Simply because i love that kind of freedom to wear whatever i chosse that morning.

2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime? Do they understand any of your dressing? Yes she understands completely and supports me uncondiontionaly, she knows my full background when it started and the reason behind it.

3. Why do you dress? The sensation of the specific fabrics and the sense of flow and breazzy-ness around the skirts, dresses, and Lingere that I enjoy.

4. Do you feel special when you dress? No but i do feel more comfortable, like i no longer who i am completely, no public mask if you will in order to fit into mainstream society.

5. Is dressing very important to you? Yes why? Freedom of expression done in a way that hurts noboby else.

1.) I do dress full time.

2.) I think she understands why, but would really rather it all just go away.

3.) I dress because I want to be treated and regarded as a woman. I use my clothes as a "signal" to others that I am a woman.

4.) No I don't feel special. I just feel like me.

5.) Well DUH! I don't want to go out naked! No, seriously, it's just the way I dress. It's important to me that others recognize me for who I am. The clothes just help that.

Lovies,
Stephenie

[Marla S]

1. Do you want to dress fulltime? Why?

Yes, 'cause I am one whole person only and don't need to change my clothes to do "boys" things or "girls things".

2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime? Do they understand any of your dressing?

No partner right now. Last one didn't really get it.

3. Why do you dress?

'Cause male role is too tight, too restricted, going the wrong way for me. What to do ? Pick up inspirations, moods, styles from the women's world.

4. Do you feel special when you dress?

Dressing fulltime, it feels normal and right. When I feel special I doll up sometimes, but I don't doll up (anymore) in order to feel special.

5. Is dressing very important to you? why?

Yes. See 1., 3., 4.

[Victoria Anne]

Full time ?

Yes , I do dress evryday to a degree but to dress fully femme ... yes I would.
As to the why it is I suppose by definition a means of expressing who I am inside.

Would my spouse understand ?

My wife not only understands but she support and gives me encouragement right up to my changing my name next year.

Why dress ?

I dress because it allows me to express my full self , I feel better about myself when I don't have to hide within. It also serves to relieve the stresses of daily life and allow me to go through my days more relaxed and with more confidence.

Do I feel special ?

Yes I do , why ? , because we CD / transgendered are able to walk both sides of the gender fence while experienceing those genders in a way even GG'S and GM'S will not be able too experience.

Is it important ?

Absolutely , I need to dress to be myself , if I were forced to quite , which is the only way I would , I would fall into serious depression.

I hope this helps you find the awnsers you seek.

[Marcie Sexton]

1. Yes I would, Its who I feel I am...

2. I don't think there would be a real problem, so long as it didn't interfer
with our personal life...

3. It is a way to relax, perhaps it is the window to the real me...


4. I along with every one else in our world is special in their own "special"
in their own way...


5. It is, to me in my own personal way is a way to look into my own soul
and see the true me...

[AlanaBCD]

1. Do you want to dress fulltime?
I am only able to dress when my wife is away. I would not want to dress full time. Most of the time, I like being a guy.
Why?
Because it allows the feminine side of me to come out. It is something I can not put into words, but I think many of you understand.

2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime?
She does not know now, although I am slowly dropping hints to tell her.
Do they understand any of your dressing?
Only that it allows the feminine side to come out and play.

3. Why do you dress? See #1

4. Do you feel special when you dress?
More feminine than special.

5. Is dressing very important to you?
Yes.
Why?
Do not have the words to explain.

[docrobbysherry]

1. No
2. No
3. For great sex! It turns me on!
4. Absolutely. How many men, ( or women even), can look this good? ( Look at my pics on My Space)
5. Yes. See 3 and 4 above.

Thanks for asking!

[Jaydee]

Silky.
This is an interesting thread.
#1Full Time, why?
No, I don't feel the desire to dress fulltime, although more often would be good. I enjoy "guy" things and being a man.

#2 Would your partner understand?
No. She doesn't know. What she has seen makes her uncomfortable. In a perfect world I would like her to know and allow me to dress when I desire.

#3 Why do you dress?
I haven't the foggiest idea. It helps me feel centered and calm. It may have been fetishish at first but it is not sexual now.

#4 Do you feel special?
Dressing doesn't make me any more special. Just calmer. It used to negatively affect my self esteem, but I am feeling better about myself in the last few years.

#5 Is it special to me?
Yes, but it is not all of me. I have many other interests. It is just an aspect of who I am.

[Melanie R]

I. I dress enfemme whenever my heart desires but not usually 24/7. I will not give up the advantages of being a man nor will I give up the advantages of being a woman.

2. My partner understands that sometime I want to be a woman 24/7 and sometimes as a man 24/7. She lets me decide those times.

3. I dress enfemme because I am a woman who happens to also be a man. I enjoy being feminine but will not give up my masculinity. You can have the best of both worlds!!

4. I feel like a woman - as the song goes when I am enfemme.

5. Being able to express my femininity is very important to me. Being a woman has made me a better man and vice versa.

1. Do you want to dress fulltime? Why?
2. If you have a partner would they understand you dressing fulltime? Do they understand any of your dressing?
3. Why do you dress?
4. Do you feel special when you dress?

1. No. I love being a guy, and my dressing is basically recreational, and basically, a lot of fun.

2. After two years, my girlfriend is at a good place with my dressing. She understands that I'm not gay, or going gay, and it's just a nice outlet for me. I don't have any desire to dress fulltime, except for brief periods.

3. Honestly, I don't really know. Probably the whole single mom, latch key kid theory.

4. Special is a broad term. Do I feel invincible or anything like that, no. Does it feel good, yes, of course.

I'll second that. I underdress frequently in women's pull-on slacks. a slip, and support pantyhose (or thigh highs and a garter belt). I don't drive and my wife got them all for me locally, but said not to tell her when I was wearing them. I dressed on our recent trip to Las Vegas. That was the first time she had seen me wearing a slip, nylons, and a garter belt. No bra, panties, dresses, and makeup yet - that would cross the line for her.
