I'm a crossdresser and have long wanted to interact with other crossdressers, and so I finally allowed myself to do just that on the first of this year.
Am I just a "crossdresser" though? I learned of terms that are new to me since taking the digital plunge, like "tgirl" and "transgendered" among others.
The bottom line is what's in a name? Labels don't really matter much, but I am curious as to where I fall.
I did some research on terms and figured out that I do fall into the transgendered category as well. Ok, there's another applicable term for me.
I can't seem to find a meaning to "tgirl" in which I fully understand if I do or do not fall into that category myself. My personal interest in crossdressing is not just to wear women's clothes, but to come as close as possible to looking like a woman, but I don't want to have a sex change. Am I considered a tgirl? Is that more a state of mind than a term which describes personal traits? When I'm dressed up, my wife and I both refer to me in feminine terms (as in girl).
I'm a straight guy, only romantically interested in gg's, period. I work and live as a man and crossdress when opportunity allows - usually just the clothes because time and circumstance doesn't allow for nails and makeup often. If I had some more freedom in my life, I'd do full makeup and nails each and every time and crossdress a lot more frequently than I do now.
Again, straight, married (wife knows and is supportive), live as a man, desire to appear as female as possible when dressing up, but have no desire to get a sex change. I enjoy being a man sometimes and don't think I'd want to be a woman 100% of my time if I ever found myself with the freedom do anything I wanted.
Is this enough personal data to fill in the rest of the blanks for me?
No confusion whatsoever as to how I feel or who I am. I just don't know all the terms that apply to me and I'd kind of like some input on that.
For those who respond - what do you consider yourself, in terms of all the labels you feel are applicable to you?
Thanks.
