    To me it is an expression of a part of my personality. I have known about this side of me since I was a child, even though I didn't want to admit it. I am past the destructive guilt, and am trying to figure out how my life will be restructured around the real me.

    Clothes complete the look...but how we feel on the inside makes it special.

    I wish that I could put my feelings into the proper words. I do know that I love being dressed enfemme.

    It goes much deeper for me also. I really want to be seen as a woman. A girl can dream can't she ?

    For me, it really isn't about the cloths, it's about who I am, the cloths just help the outside match the inside.

    I suppose they are just clothes but I love this type of clothing. Since I can remember I always remember feeling like and wanting to be a girl. Through my childhood wearing girl's clothes never entered my mind although I often found myself in them due to various reasons. It was the result of two aunts and my mother. Just as a joke I wore a colonial type dress to school for Halloween. After Halloween while talking to some girls they told me that I didn't really know what wearing a dress was like because I wore pants under that dress. So I tried wering that dress sans pants when I was home alone. I guess I must of reported that to some of those girls and once again I was challenged to try it again wearing girl's underwear. When alone at home again I tried what the girls told me to do. It went from there to trying on modern day clothes. So I tried some modern day clothes. By now I was curious. Soon after I tried a girdle and a tight skirt. ZIP!!!! ZAP!!!! ZOOP!!!! I was astonished at how those clothes felt and I was hooked into being a CDer from that point on. Finally I had a connection to my fem self. I never again talked to anyone about dressing up until I was forced to when I was fifteen after I was caught.

    Nothing important, just clothes.
    Nothing important, just makeup.
    Nothing important, just a wig.
    Nothing important, just heels.

    In the early stages it was just the clothes but it has morph into a full presentation.
    Don't get me wrong I still love the clothes, the heels and the makeup. but it is all the process of transforming something masculine into something not so masculine. It is really hard to explain...But i am sure it is the same but different for everyone.

    I have to agree with the previous posts saying that the clothes are only part of the complete look. For me i like to look in the mirror and see a woman looking back a me, so i need the wig, make up, shoes and body hair removed to achieve that.

    What I think Rexy is that it's the person who makes the clothes and not vice versa.

    Yes it is a passion, a yearning that is not just about the clothes. Yet the clothes is definitely so important to me. I can be in the most drab clothes and feel feminine, but when dressed and all made up it makes me fell wonderful and more complete.

    Everyone is different but here are my thoughts

    If there were no clothing would you feel all; male or any different than you do now?

    If tomorrow men's clothing looked just like women's but still said "Men's" on the tag would you start wearing them?

    Why is cotton (or whatever material) in a woman's blouse any different than in a man's shirt?

    When you take off those panties ( I just HAD to say that word here) you a different person? Stronger? Weaker?

    If someone dresses like Superman can they fly faster than a speeding bullet?

    It is just clothing when you come down to it. If you feel feminine then you can do that in jeans (sorry Karren) and a T-shirt. You can do that in flats not heels. It is who you are. The clothing is just a big flashy billboard. It is how you get noticed (or notice yourself if you are still in the closet). It is what is in your mind and in your heart. All the labels as to who can wear what is all set up in people's minds. There is no reason a dress is female except some moron years ago decided it should be and people bought it. Practicality aside (which was an excellent argument women could use when they decided it is just clothes) it is a bit of cloth. It does not make you anything more or less than you are anyway.

    Are the clothes important to you being a TG? Then I would say it is a fetish more than anything else. If you can sit at your desk in a three piece suit, tie and oxford shoes and still think of yourself as pretty, then it is who you are.

    Its all about perspective. My wife always says, "It's just clothes.". And for her it's true. For me, it is much more than clothes and I wish I could articulate exactly what but how does one describe the indescribable?

    Clothes are only the beginning. For, as many of us grow and start to go out, it becomes how we present ourselves when out and how it makes us feel inside.

    I have to agree with you girlfriend. After all the years I spent in the closet, dressing at every opportunity, it couldn't be anything but a passion. The pretty clothes make the experience enjoyable, but the passion to dress comes from within.
