Have you ever considered how much fuller our lives may be since we are crossdressers. For example, the average male hardly gives a thought to what is in his underwear drawer or what kind of boxers or briefs he will put on in the morning. CDs, on the other hand, and for the most part, derive considerable pleasure from their panty collection and revel in the texture and feel of silky undergarments against their skin. Ditto sleepwear. Most males jump into bed in their underwear without giving it another thought. Many CDs however, at least those with understanding spouses/partners, have an assortment of lingerie to sleep in which makes the simple act of getting ready for bed something special. Many of us enjoy both masculine and feminine pursuits, whereas most males operate solely in the masculine world. Although, throughout my life, my crossdressing has sometimes made me feel different in a not so positive sense, I have reached a point in my life where I have accepted it as a gift. Part of this may be due to the fact that, after many years, my wife has shown a greater level of understanding and acceptance. Perhaps that is why I now find myself thinking how lucky I am to be a CD and how much I love the fun of dressing. Any of you feeling the same?

I think this is both harsh and dismissive of those who suffer more pressure from GD than others. While we may not be different people for having this quirk - the fact that we have self-acceptance and we have allowed ourselves to express this part of us, surely that makes us fuller and richer than if it remained repressed..? I expect that's really what you meant...
