If CDing was 100% Socially acceptable would you

[Bev06 GG]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time. How many of you would actually dress full time and present as a woman if there were no social taboos and it was considered a normal alternative life style by everyone including your family and work colleagues.
Bev

[clemsontv2002]

I would probably dress about 40% of the time. I still prefer male me!

[Miranda09]

I would probably go about 50% of the time.

[kym]

100% of the time

[Joanne f]

No question about it as i have no interest in male clothes at all , got to put in an effort some times though:D

[GaleWarning]

I'd probably wear hosiery and a skirt. Low heeled shoes, though.
:)

[Jeanna]

Bev, I would love to look as good as your avatar all of the time!:):)

[MiraM]

Definatly 100% of the for me.

[kristinacd55]

Bev

I'd say about 75% of the time. Whenever I'm getting ready to go to work or go out, I look at my girl side of the closet & think "would I love to be wearing that!"

Oh shoot, make that 95%!

[StaceyJane]

I would CD most of the time. I suppose I could wear some casual clothes like shorts and a T-shirt around the house but going out, work would definatly be a girl. It's just how I feel most comfortable.

[Nicola46]

I think 50/50 for me. I like chasing girls, and it would be pretty dangerous in high heels.:)

[Bootsiegalore]

I'd dress all the time, except when I work in the field. I work outside in AZ and jeans or shorts and a t-shirt it is, and its soaked with sweat by the end of the day.

Tara

[PaulaJaneThomas]

Hopefully by this time next year discrimination against all trans people will illegal in the UK and we can start to work towards the level of social acceptance that gays are now starting to enjoy as a result of their long struggle.

In answer to you question, probably about 90% of the time. I've tried 100% and it's not quite practical for me for a number reasons I don't have time to go into as I'm just going to watch QI.

[5150 Girl]

I would likely wear atleast somthing fem all the time, when I wasn't doing something dirty, like fix'n my old truck.

[Bev06 GG]

Bev, I would love to look as good as your avatar all of the time!:):)

Awww Jeanna
Go to the top of the class your so sweet. And 5150 Girl, I do car maintenance from time to time, I dress in overalls but I still put makeup on and do my hair.
Bev

[xAnne_Mariex]

I'd say i'd almost certainly go full time 100% of the time, I want to now so would be silly not to if it suddenly stopped being 'taboo'

[TxKimberly]

Sure I would! I love the fashions, I love the look, I love the feel. Socially acceptable or not doesn't change these things. Would it be as much fun? I dunno . . . :D

[Carole Cross]

I am already moving towards dressing full time. I have found that most people don't care how you are dressed anyway, it's all about having the confidence to do it.

[Bev06 GG]

I like you already Carol

[Wen4cd]

Would you still remember the alternate universe where there was fear of non-acceptance? Or would you, like everyone else in this strange new world, think it nothing, have always thought it nothing? And if it's nothing, why do it?

[Brina Halloween]

Definitely would have some days that I left the house dressed...full time? Maybe not. My taste do seem to be that I like ladies fashions more than guy stuff. If it was that acceptable, we would probably have a much better society.

[joandher]

This is a very hard question to answer :daydreaming:

An awfull lot of people do just that now ,but I for one couldnt do what i do now dressed as a woman,its a time consuming job getting ready,trying to look fairly passable,when you havnt got GGs features

great question :hugs:

J-JAY

[Tess]

Interesting question. I dress far less than most of those posting on this thread and perhaps I would initially dress more if it were suddenly acceptable. After the novelty passed I think I might stop dressing since the taboo probably a significant part of the thrill that I get out of crossdressing.

[Taylor186]

If there were no gender taboos regarding what you wear then crossdressing, as defined, would cease to exist.

[Amy Lynn3]

Not sure I can put a per cent on how much time I would dress, but I sure would love to have the option. A guess would be 40% girl and 60% boy.
Bev, I think you are drop dead gorgeous too, now can I move to the front of the class with the rest ? XOXOXO

[Lorileah]

Probably half and half. I would wear skirts frequently but make-up? depends on how late I am running :)

[Donnadcd]

That's what stopping me from transitioning - the stigma that somehow it's "wrong'

[AlexisRenae]

I would say 75% of the time for myself

[Christina Horton]

I WOULD SAY 75 % of the time , I still like being a man but I would love to have a job where I dress when I wanted to. If that was true then maybe 100%

[carhill2mn]

That is a hard question to answer. I think that I would be "full-time" much of the time.

[Carol A]

In a heartbeat sweetheart

[dana55]

i would probably 50% of the time.

[Marcy_in_hose]

I would dress 50% of the time. I do like my male clothes and being masculine as well.

[Raychel]

I would dress whenever I didn't have guy stuff to do, Whenever there was leisure time, Or I had things to do that could be done in a dress. Probably about 40% of the time that I am not at work. I can cook, do laundry, pickup the house in a dress just fine.

[Kathi Lake]

Hey, I'm a guy and, therefore, basically lazy. :) I would not dress every day. Being a woman, Bev, you know how much effort it takes. If I were a woman or a man that dressed as one every day, due to my feminine pride in my appearance, I would have to wear makeup every day. I would have to do my hair every day. I would have to pay extra attention to my outfits every day. As a part-time girl, I don't have to do this, I get to do this. Big difference, from my perspective.

So, do I love it? Oh my, yes! If I did it every day, it would lose that special something that makes me look forward to getting girly.

Kathi

[MichelleP]

Full time all the time. I just like feminine things better. I would be in heaven.

[VeronikaDonahue]

If Dressing full time in femme, were looked at as normal, then yes I would do it full time. As it is, with the economic times being the way they are, I try to balance things out. Also, if I had the ability to be more passable, that would also influence my decision.

[Alana65]

I would definitely wear feminine finery more often.........especially skirts, because.........as Gabrielle Hermosa would say, I hate pants.

[Diane Smith]

I would definitely get rid of all the boy clothes in my closets, but I suspect my day to day look would be more casual than my "dressed up" appearance is now. Still, I'd love to have my hair done, wear makeup, jewelry, nails and heels all the time. (Heck, I do that a lot already!)

- Diane

[kristytv]

other than dirty work, i would be fem all the time

[Phyliss]

100% of the time, all the time. Of course I might not wear a skirt to work, climbing ladders, but then, .... hmmmm
Anyhow, of course I would.

[Chiana]

I would certainly dress a lot more often but I am sure there would still be many times when I would wear guy stuff. I wouldn't want to subject my girl clothes to getting under may car and changing the oil. I would probably be part girly girl and part tomboy and wear guy clothes in tomboy mode.

[Tasha McIntyre]

I'd probably dress at least 50% of the time, but makeup and hair maybe 1 day a week....I am quite lazy.

[TSchapes]

If CDing and Transgender in general were acceptable when I was younger, I would have been a girl by age 20.

If it were acceptable today, and I were not married, I would dress 100%, but not go through with SRS.

But, since I have the life I do, and if it were 100% acceptable by society, I would have to negotiate that with my SO. I certainly would hope it would be more than what I do now. :D

-Tracy

[kimkat]

I would say proabably about 80 to 90% percent of the time. I now always wear a nightgown to bed. When I get home, I change into either my favorite pair of heels or put on my flats. I imagine what I would wear to work. The color and length of the skirt and blouse, color of my nails, etc. Only time I would probably not be dressed in female clothing is when I have to mow the lawn and of course when I am in the shower ;).

[Traci_Ann CD]

Definately.

100% yes!!

[Nikki A.]

It would depend on my mood, but yes I think I would.

[Sarah09]

It would be great if that world existed, and if it did I would probably be one of the fifity percenters.

[LeAnne Marie]

Definately all the time. I keep dressing more and more and will be full time eventually anyway.

[Teresa Ann]

HI, I would have to say that I would be about 65% I still like to get grubby at times and would not be presenting my female side very well but at times that I don't get all dirty I would be having my girl on.

[Joni Marie Cruz]

Don't know how I missed this one. Is it some kind of trick question or something? Well, yeah. Duh, pretty much.

Hugs...Joni Mari

[Ediosa]

I would interchange my male and female clothes. I love dressing to go to work, but sometimes it's just to much work. Therefore, it will be 50/50 for me. I like being a guy.

[larissa-laurie]

I would probably like to dress in just a nice skirt with panties, pantyhose, a girdle and half slip underneath and medium high heels to complete the ensemble.

[TGMarla]

If this were the case, I imagine I'd be dressed about 50% of the time, maybe more. I doubt I'd do anything full time, though. After all, even though I identify strongly with my femme persona, it is still only an illusion, while my male image is not. I've never been one to dwell on pretenses. And there are times when putting on all the acoutrements gets to be a bit of a hassle. I enjoy having boobies, for instance, but really, they're fake, and I don't have to have them on to function. It takes me nearly an hour to get all dolled up. It takes me half that time or less to get ready in guy-mode. Some things just aren't worth all the extra effort.

Ha! And lots of us wonder why girls don't bother with all the fluffy stuff more often! :D

[Stephanie Michelle]

I would not dress during work, since I work mainly in the automotive and construction fields. But I would dress during most of my non-work hours.


Stephanie Michelle

[Marisa_M]

Absolutely!

I would live as a woman 101% of my time :daydreaming:

What a dream!

[Heather_Marie]

Well my good friend Bev I would have to say I would dress about 85% of the time I like my male mode but I know my female side would come out a lot more if I could go out as Heather Marie without having the stigma of CD'ing.

[Rachel Morley]

If it was truly socially acceptable and I didn't even have any issues at work, I'd be full time, no question about it.

[Deborah Jane]

I would probably be dressed femme about 75% of the time, but there are times when i'm still more than happy to be dressed in my old jeans, t'shirt and a pair of trainers :)

[Leanne2]

Hi Bev,
You look so cute with that hairstyle. I would dress like a woman most of the time. But sometimes women wear sweats with no makeup. You get to do that because you were liberated from the female clothing rules years ago. And good for you. It should be that way for us as well. It may not happen in my lifetime though. I would wear some makeup every day if I was free. Let my people go! Leanne

[Monica93304]

I would dress 100 % of the time. No doubt in my mind at all.

[Bluesman]

I wouldn't dress full time. It would just be another clothing option, like whether to wear jeans or shorts, a suit or a t-shirt. I'd wear femme clothes if that was my mood. It would be nice to have that as an open option.

[Frédérique]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time. How many of you would actually dress full time and present as a woman if there were no social taboos and it was considered a normal alternative life style by everyone including your family and work colleagues.

I would, definitely! How do I get to that parallel universe?

[Joanie_Shakti]

I don't think I would do it full time, especially since my job is hard on clothes, but it would be over 50% of the time. It is hot here in Arizona in the summer. I wear shorts almost year round, but I would love to be able to wear skirts and dresses while out and about, feeling the breeze. From just around the house, I feel it's so much more comfortable. And I think having a man's head and hairy body in a dress looks funny, I would femme it up with makeup, a wig and hairless body to look better.

[briannad]

No doubt about it, I would present as a woman 100% of the time..

[Sophia de la luz]

I suppose I would dress more exotically at first, and then things would flow into functional needs. I would definitely wear heels, skirts and dresses out... and blouses with flower patterns. Sounds like a fun world.

[Penelope Marie]

I surly would 100% of the time, all day every day! i hate physical labor and dirty work. not lazy just not strong enough to do a lot of it. Dirty work is not for me!

[TJ Tresa]

Yep, I would, and would have my ears perieced today. no doubt about it. I would be in debt though because I would have to go on a shopping spreee.

[Melissa Rose]

100% of the time for me.

[BeckyAnderson]

Hi Bev....I would probably dress more but wouldn't dress full time. I enjoy both sides of my life. Becky

[Sarah Doepner]

I just don't know. I'd love to dress much more than I do now, but shaving my face close enough for makeup every day would be a problem, so I'd have to work in some rest days for the skin to recover. There are things I do that would work out better in boy mode than in girl clothes, so that would take some time out of the mix. Finally, as several others have said, if I'm going to do this, I want to do it right and if I don't have the time to prepare, I'm not doing it.
I think we are looking at between 40% and 60% of the time, but that is just a guess.

[Maria in heels]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time. How many of you would actually dress full time and present as a woman if there were no social taboos and it was considered a normal alternative life style by everyone including your family and work colleagues.
Bev
I would love to dress as a woman, and sometimes act as a woman around my peers. Maria is definately a part of me, and part of my persona, even when in male dress. If only social taboos were not so strict...<sigh>

[pattyv]

Hi Bev-I borrowed your thread and used transitioning instead of CDing. Hope you don't mind. Such blatant plagiarism!!!

[LilSissyStevie]

I wouldn't change a thing. I never dress like real women anyway.

[Susan.]

It would be 100% for me. Even if I was mowing the lawn I still wear a cap sleeve shirt, bra, panties, socks and old tennis shoes. Oh yeah, I shouldn't forget a pink cap. :D

[CD Susan]

100% of the time for me! There is nothing in my life that I do that I couldn't do in womens clothes. Of course I wouldn't change the oil in my car while wearing a dress but I would still do it while wearing old jeans. Actually I have been doing this for years.

[dawnmarrie1961]

Beverly,

I am already dressing like me 100 percent of the time. While that entails certain challenges and obstacles I've learned to deal with them. I adapt to the world around me. But adapting doesn't mean I have to change who I am. I demand,nor expect, any acceptance from anyone but myself. That is the way it "was
, "is" and "always" will be. I have not delusions that the world will change to suit me any time soon. So I live each day as if CDing were 100 percent socially acceptable anyway. I ask the world for nothing but demand everything of myself.

I'm sorry if that doesn't fall in line with the answer you were looking for.

Be safe. Be smart.

Dawn Marrie

[Bev06 GG]

Hi Bev-I borrowed your thread and used transitioning instead of CDing. Hope you don't mind. Such blatant plagiarism!!!

LOl thats OK Laura.

[SamathaCD]

100% of the time for me. I just fine women's fashions more attractive and fun. Even if I was dressing down I'd still wear womens clothes :)

[Rogina B]

I almost thought 100 percent and then thought about having to take my boobs out to crawl into dark,dirty,spaces or under trucks or up masts or in bilges.But then I realized that I would have the girl sense to look good and get boys to do all the dirty work by using my womanly charms!I am very jealous of the power of the pussycat.

[Joy Carter]

I would dress a hundred percent. They do make women's flannel shirts and jeans don't they ? :D

[Elle1946]

The nice thing about that question is that you could dress like a GG all of the time, because the GGs can wear BBs cloths and get by with it. I would say 90% of the time.

[BreenaDion]

Well now thats a dilemma....:laughing: If CDing was totally acceptable in society, there wouldn't be any males left for "gg" girls to have babies with .:confused: At least us girls would be " FREE " and I just love the idea.

Sorry girls I do support us but I have a good sense of humor an like to lighten the tension up a little. Life is to serious at time, why enjoy the fun while we are still here ? Yes/NO ?

Love Bree

[jan croft]

For me 30% though the taboo is part of the attraction.

[Jenny Beth]

I dress almost all the time at home so I'd have to say if it was totally acceptable to present as a woman I probably would. But this hypothetical question got me to thinking. For the most part I dress very casually and it's rare that I get all dolled up as if I were going to the Oscars, so it has me wondering how I would dress in front of friends or at the grocery store for example. Would the Pink Fog take over me just because I can? :thinking:

[tonya2]

I would have to say about 75% of the time. Love the fashions too much not to. Was just thinking yesterday at work how boring mens cloths are while I was checking out this young lady at work who looked super hot in what she was wearing.

Tonya :2c:

[Barbara918]

Since the original question specified "presenting as a woman," I'd say no. In a perfect world I could resemble a woman just from the neck down -- i.e., clothing, but no wig or makeup.

Amendment to previous answer -- If CDing was 100% acceptable I'd still do it, but I don't know if it would be as much fun.

[Keely]

Well maybe not quite 100% of the time.:heehee:

[Cindy09]

I would 100%!!!!

[Jan Michell Collins]

If I could dress all the time ,Iprobly wouldn't dress at work cuze we have to wear a uniform now I probly wear panties and a cami under it. but away from work i would dress all the time.

[tanya-uk]

100% of the time for me. :)

[Tommie T.]

I'm not sure of what % of the time but it certainly would most of the time.I find I'm spending more time enfeme every day andam only bowing to our cultural "norms" when I'm not.Hair would be a problem as it seems I have less off it each year,and wigs are a bit of a hassle for all the time.

[brittdoll]

No, It's far too much work on a daily basis. Besides, I like being male. However, I might give myself one day a week, like a Saturday, to be out and about en femme.

[janet p]

It would depend on what I'm doing which way I outer dress but my nails would be polished all the time. I would also like to go out without a wig or forms but in a dress or skirt and blouse.:daydreaming::heehee::love:

[Granny Gray]

Since I do no car work any more (too old and lost interest) I'd probably never again wear pants.

[RachelF]

LOL Kathi, you made a good point. Crossdressing implies an extra work as we want to look as good as we can.

I am some how with Tess. I do not know how much of my crossdressing urge could disappear with the lack of the taboo around it.

If crossdressing becomes acceptable, I would think that other body changes would become also acceptable.

In such case, I am pretty sure I would eliminate my body hair and do my boobs, maybe a B cup size.

About the crossdressing, maybe I would use panties, bras, and pantyhose everyday. With full dressing in special occasions (were I can take all the time to prepare).

[sandra-leigh]

I would probably present as more definitely female a lot of the time --- at least in clothes. The makeup and wigs and eyebrow shaping and so on... I'm not sure to what extent I would do that. Wigs are hot and slip (especially as my head size is at the upper limit of "normal" wigs.)

[Jennifer N J]

I dont know if i would do it 100% of the time, but it would definitely be most of the time.

[Brenda456]

Probably most of the time.

[Jean Ann S]

I would probably dress fem sometimes to go out to eat or shop etc
sorta the same times some guys would wear a nice pair of slacks and sport shirt on those times I would love to be able to wear a skirt and blouse or a pretty dress or even some dressy girl pants wiht heels etc
My boy life is just too busy and fulll of good things to consider dressing full time
To me it is about achieving a balance ! :battingeyelashes:


Jean Ann

[jaqui928]

100% of the time. I could really splurge on shoes and skirts. and capris. cute tops. I could go on. no more hassle at the gym. And the best part I would get back half of my closet space.

[Cary]

I would be dressed in something femm EVERYDAY.

[Tip or Ozma]

It would certainly influence my choice of outfits every day--more feminine than not.

[Angelofsomekind]

I would probably be in a corset and heels All the time. I would absolutly dress more often, I don't know exactly how much more though. I think it might be one of those things where if I grew up being able to wear it, I may not wear it as much as I would like to now though.

[sissystephanie]

I know I am a male. and want to remain so! But I do like to wear feminine clothing, just because I like the way if feels and fits me! so I guess maybe 75% CD and 25% male!:heehee:

[Jin Xer]

Awww Jeanna
Go to the top of the class your so sweet. And 5150 Girl, I do car maintenance from time to time, I dress in overalls but I still put makeup on and do my hair.
Bev

Yes, heels, a little lipstick, nail polish and always make sure my hair was nice.
I'd even buy a dress! :battingeyelashes:

[Mya Summers]

I would do it, if my wife allowed me to..that's the key if you have an SO, they have the final say so about it in my book..:)

[mjryo]

Probably around 40% of the time, probably mainly only when going out on the weekends...I would rather use the time during the morning to something else, instead of getting all prettied-up.

[Marcia Blue]

I would probably dress about 50% of the time. Working on automobiles and trucks would be a lot harder with breasts getting in the way. I also enjoy my male side.

[Tiffany6791]

I think I would do it about 80% of the time but who knows. Only can dream for it to happen though.

[MaryAnn40c]

I would dress all the time as a women,as I feel i should have been a lady all this time. :)

[DawnRodgers]

I would certainly dress deminine 100% of the time. Dress clothes, casual clothes, coats, shoes, jewelry, makeup, nail polish, night clothes. Everything. It would be fabtastic. Where and when is the spaceship leaving?
Dawn

[MaryAnn40c]

1oo% of the time!

[kimmeecd602]

id always have a thong on w/waxed everything and a mini!:daydreaming:

[Lidia_tv]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time. How many of you would actually dress full time and present as a woman if there were no social taboos and it was considered a normal alternative life style by everyone including your family and work colleagues.
Bev

I most certainly would. No need to think twice.

[vivianann]

Well since I dress enfemme most of the time, I dont need societal acceptance, however I would dress as a woman 100% of the time, I am working toward that goal anyway.
Bev, you are a woman after my own heart, I love the fact that you do car maintanence while wearing mak-up. I started wearing mascara everyday now, and I work on cars all the time, I get alot of compliments on my eyes from women who see me. I love womens fashions and would rather wear them than mens clothes.

[Gisele]

I would be dressing 100% of the time if it was acceptable right now.

For now I am pretty much dressed all of the time just not at work or around family.....yet.

[Melora]

100 PERCENT In a heartbeat!! No questions asked!!

[Jaclyn NM]

If that were true, I'd probably dress as a female most of the time. I know that I much prefer my female clothing over any of my male clothing.

[Gabrielle Hermosa]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time. How many of you would actually dress full time and present as a woman if there were no social taboos and it was considered a normal alternative life style by everyone including your family and work colleagues.
Bev

I'd dress a great deal more than I do now, but probably not full time. I hate being stuck in guy mode because of society's problem with the transgender spectrum, but I don't hate being a man. There are times I rather enjoy my man-side.

I'm sure I'd find a balance. The amount of time spend in girl-mode vs. guy-mode, I can't say. My best guess is something around 50/50. If one were to be higher than the other, I'd guess more time in girl-mode than guy-mode, but that might just be because my femme-time is often starved by society's restrictions today.

[stephaniesacd]

I'd definitely present fem at least 90% of the time....only like my guy side every now and then..:devil:

[Saika]

Absolutely. I do dress how I want to anyway :battingeyelashes:

[Phyliss Hdson]

I would definitly want to dress all the time, but not sure that would happen. But I would dress the majority of the time.
Hugs Phyliss

[Alice B]

If it were truly social acceptable I would dress fully from time to time, but not all the time. I like my male self and I like my female self. It would just depend upon my mood at the time and circumstances for that day. But, it sure would be great to have that option.

[Jenny Wilson]

I’d dress femininely 100% of the time. I have many female friends who wear feminine clothes no matter what they’re doing, even if it’s gardening, painting or cleaning the garage. There is no doubt that their clothes are feminine, even if they’re jeans or shorts with a simple top.

Personally, I love the variety of female clothing options, especially in shoes and accessories. I am soooooo bored with jeans or shorts with a golf shirt, or khakis with a blue oxford button down shirt, etc. As a male, I get dressed while on autopilot.

I love how outfits and ones appearance can be enhanced with jewelry, the perfect color of nail polish, and well done makeup. When I’m home I’m already dressed en femme almost all the time, so being able to be dressed as I go about the rest of my life would be a welcome relief.

Even if I was simply dressed casually, it would be fun to wear a cute top and strappy flat sandals, ballet flats or MaryJanes, or depending on what I’m doing, something with a bit of a heel; for business, a nice dress or skirt and top with a classic pump or sling with a mid-heel, and for special occasions, something really pretty, and a higher heel (but not too high, not more than 4 inches for me).

Jenny

[Lorna]

I think I'd want to try to do everything as femininely dressed as possible, then, just as women used to do, accept that some activities might require trousers or wellinton boots - though even then, I could dig the garden in wellingtons and a skirt and I could leave my tights and bra on beneath my overalls! Part of the thrill of dressing for me is finding out what it's like to carry out everyday tasks while wearing heels, a tight skirt, nylons, etc. I'd want to do a lot more of that, given the opportunity.

[Jessicainme]

I would dress 24/7 if I could.

Jessica

[joselyn318]

I would most likely dress 90% of the time. I just feel more comfortable en femme.

[lee in a skirt]

I would probably do some aspects all the time. Like underwear but I wouldnt let it take over my life completely.

[JeniferMN]

What could be better? I would 100%. Now I have something to dream about tonight!

[Ras]

I would certainly dress more and not have to be concerned about showing a bra camisole strap.

[Vickii*]

If CDing was 100% socially accepted, I would still only do it occasionally. The only thing that would be different would be the fact that I would go out in public for kicks more often.

If I could look however I wanted, I'd probably have blue dreadlocks, a couple piercings of my ears, and look like a crazy punk, why, cuz thats how I feel.

[TxCassie]

That's a great question. Much like the one about why do you dress?

I think I would wear something femme all the time, be it panties, stockings, earrings, some makeup, depends on the mood, occassion, what I am doing.

I have moodes where I feel very masculine and like being a male. I have days when I know I will be engaged in masculine pursuits so I get in my male mode. But then again, I know I would have no trouble to go about a day en femme if I knew it was acceptable.

So, it could be as high as 50/50 for me.

Cassie

[countrygirl]

yes

[Veronica2009]

Thats a tough question!

I would say though, if it were 100% acceptable, i would probably lean toward 50/50. But i would definately get out more!

[Sweethog]

If there was no Taboo associated. I'd dress like women do. What ever i wanted to.

[Mary Morgan]

Assuming everything else remained the same, family composition, job, inequality of pay, yard needs mowing, oil needs changing, etc., I guess I would dress for sure when doing none of those, but hey I might just need the closet space and the boy stuff would just have to go.

[Cindy_Act]

A perplexing question. Answer for me is not 100%. It's hard work getting enfemme. Just on special occasions for me and it does wonders for my stress. Not sure about everyone else here but I get such a buzz going into a shop to buy something and actually tell them it's for me. Takes me ages to pluck up the courage but when I do...So if there was no taboo, that wonderful naughty adrenalin rush would no longer be there. Ohh and shaved my legs on the weekend and wore shorts for the first time. Aggghhh none of my friends said boo,,,,,doubt they noticed but boy I felt great. So it's a start of a new exciting chapter for me...

[blondetasha]

Hi,
I would def go 50/50.
The only reason I am not now is because of what others think and the fear of ruining relationships :(

Tasha

[Brenda Locke]

Hello everyone.
For myself , I'd probably go 60/40. That is Brenda 60% of the time for sure.There are things/ activities that I do that femme outerwear just wouldn't work. As for underwear 100% femme, 100% of the time thank you.
I'm looking forward too that day; wishfull thinking? I hope not....

:daydreaming::heehee:

Brenda

[Erica K.]

I'd go full time in a heartbeat! I'd legally change my name & never wear pants again. I mean isn't that what tights are for ;)

[Veronica Nowakowski]

I would probably go for long streaks, but I wouldn't give up my masculine side altogether.

[PhyllisB]

Would I, Could I, Should I, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT! 100% Female 24/7 My life would be the best it's ever been!!!!!!!!:daydreaming:

[Stephanie Heplby]

"What ever I wanted"... Amen to that. Whatever feels comfortable and is reasonable for what I am doing at the time. Carpentry and painting is easier and safer in pants / trousers, IMHO.

Interesting factoid for your consideration: one of the top three leading causes of death among women in British Colonial America was fire. Specifically, their large skirts caught fire in the kitchen fireplace and they burned to death.

Sadly, they were forced to wear those skirts all the time. Think some good thoughts for those women next time you put on a dress.

[LoriFlores]

Oh, how wonderful that would be. I'd dress female 100% of the time.

[crusadergirl]

I'm not sure what i would do but i would go out more thats for sure. The reason i don't dress much now is b/c its too damn hot here in the summer time.

[tricia_uktv]

I think the answer it yes; but I may do it anyway if the opportunities arrise (which I'm working on)

[~Emma D~]

whats to think about, for me it would be 100%.

but, it would still not be enough

[Jenniferpl]

In a heartbeat. I would get breasts, like yesterday and probably wear heel everyday. And lets not forget makeup. Anything a guy can do, so can a woman.

[Bridget Fitzgerald]

I would

[JamieG]

I wish I could say that I would be dressed to the nines with perfect makeup and stiletto heels 24/7, but if I'm being honest, I think that would be too much work. As a guy, I tend to dress for comfort, and so this would probably still be true if CDing became acceptable. Now for me comfort would probably mean a skirt, tights, silky blouse or stretchy top and ballet flats on an almost daily basis. I can't imagine anything more comfortable. I don't see myself regularly using padding, cinching, or makeup though (that takes too much time!). I would only get all "gussied up" for a nice night out to eat or special occasions. Still, the thought makes me wistful.

[ginafaye]

dito 90%......would go girly as much aspossible just dress for type of work ie yard work car work etc etc

[charlie]

Hello Bev!
I guess that since I'm going out dressed now, and it is not socially acceptable, then I would dress much more of the time as there would be no worries.

[Malori Cross]

If it was totally acceptable, more often than not I would wear something obviously feminine--a skirt or a pink cardigan sweater, for zample, and maybe some light makeup. As it is, I go out in shorts with my legs shaved (nobody's ever said anything to me. In winter, I often wear "feminine" sweaters, yet I'm obviously a guy. I just don't care anymore. And I now wear panties 99% of the time.

[JulieC]

I would routinely dress en femme for work, probably more so than in male clothes. I'd be wearing pantyhose on most days, whether in more traditional male garb or no. I tire of men's socks. Blech. I'd have a lot less male clothes, but still plenty to dress male as needed/desired.

[amandag]

I would dress 100%. I like the look and feel of women's clothing, even if would be jeans, shorts, and tee's to work out in the yard. The freedom of not having to hide my preferences in clothing would be exhilerating!

Amanda

[MWCMDarlene]

I wouldn't go 100 percent, but definetely a lot more than I do now, providing my SO allowed it. I'd be content with getting to wear panties and bra with forms as musch as I wanted, even under my male clothes, sort of a mix-n-match thing.

[alexandracross]

I am not sure if I could go full time but I would dress more and try to go out more

[Pantyhose Queen]

50/50, I love being able to play on both Teams!!

[suzie quezie]

The verboten aspedct makes it muchmore fun!
I am a CD **** and I don't ever want to be socially accetable!:devil:

[RikkiHauser]

The only thing I'd wear that I don't wear now is a dress. I already wear my lingerie (panties, garter, and stockings) under my male clothes almost every day. I'd love to wear a dress to work every day.

[urmilaaa2008]

It would be 50:50 with me

[Gerard]

Would you still remember the alternate universe where there was fear of non-acceptance? Or would you, like everyone else in this strange new world, think it nothing, have always thought it nothing? And if it's nothing, why do it?

I think I'd do what the women in this world do, and wear whatever I fancy at that moment.
I like the more colourful choices (I have worn a RED blazer on occasion, for example when I graduated)
I like some of the fabrics.
I like the less constraining feeling of a skirt or dress around my legs, especially with the nice summer weather.
I'd love to go out in some shiny pumps.

Women just have a lot of choices that are not accepted, but feel and look nice. (hey, otherwise women wouldn't wear them most of the time either). I'm not talking about heels that kill your feet, or a dress that makes it impossible to walk.

The taboo aspect is part of what turns me on and why I do it, but it's certainly not the whole story.

[Rachel05]

I would be really happy to go 50 / 50 and mix it up however I wanted, but yes it would be nice to be bale to slip on whatever you wanted whenever you wanted

[Elishal]

Every day 24/7 would be for me. There is a huge range of acceptable female presentation that I think fulltime would be relatively easy. That however, only solves the dressing issue. That still leaves the gender issues in place.

[Amanda_Robinson]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time. How many of you would actually dress full time and present as a woman if there were no social taboos and it was considered a normal alternative life style by everyone including your family and work colleagues.
Bev

I would surely not do it 100% of the time. I would go more places but not more often. For me dressing up is like practicing free throws left handed. When I switch back I am more relaxed and confident. :) I could imagine maybe 30-40% of the time at the most. All of the things I really like to do I would much rather do as a man.

~Amanda

[Linda Laman]

I would dress a lot more and would certainly go out and mix socially dressed as a woman. I think it would be about 50/50 for me. Just wish I could put it to the test.

[Laura_Stephens]

I would burn ALL of my male clothes.

[michelle_tx]

I would burn ALL of my male clothes.
Right there with you on that. If I didn't have to wear male clothes for work, none would ever see my closet. I'd be in girl mode 24/7.

[chica310]

i'm not one for wearing a bra under my sweater thru out the day just because
its either all or nothing for the most part so
i guess i say 25% of the time i would crossdress if it was "ok"

[Cait]

I have thought about this regularly and believe it would be about 50-60% of the time for me as I quite enjoy wearing mens clothes as well. I would definitely mix it up a bit though and team up 'male' and 'female' clothes to form the ultimate style. Not androgynous, just a mixture.

[Michelle Charles]

I would certainly do it a whole lot more than my wife prefers now!

Michelle

[Carly D.]

If it was 100% accepted by everyone then yes I would.. or maybe I wouldn't because I am a closet dresser and I would like to think I would dress and go out.. but I am one of those types of people that doesn't like to go with the trends...

[kymmieLorain]

I would probally do it maybe 80% depends.

Kymmie

[BettyCooper]

I would be fulltime in a heartbeat!

[AllisonR]

I was asked this just today by my friend Karen (GG) who is helping me with makeup and skin care items. As I told her, it's kind of hard to answer. If it was socially acceptable, I think it would be about 100% for me, maybe 98%. Work gets hot and sweaty sometimes and I wouldn't want to ruin my pretty clothes or my forms. I love being a woman!

Allison
"I may never be the girl of my dreams...never-the-less, I am a Girl!"

[Sylvermane]

i would go full time. tbh the only reason i dont and am very in the closet is i know i couldn't pull it off... a fact that pains me every day :Angry3:

[blackenedbutterfly]

100% of the time. No doubt about it.

[Nicole Brown]

Oh yes !!!

I try to dress every day when possible and would love to go full time.

Nicole

[BeckiB]

I don't think I would dress any more but surely not any less either! I learned a long time ago that everyone has an opinion on everything. We will come across those that disagree with us and those that agree. You have to make yourself happy first and I am happy with who I am. I like having both sides. Those two halves make me whole. If someone chooses not to like me because of one side or the other I am really not offended. Truth is I don't need anyones approval to feel good about myself.

[Jilmac]

Bev, Even if it was socially acceptable I wouldn't go en femme 100%. My SO prefers me to be the man in our relationship and I will respect her preferance. However if it was socially acceptable I would present myself en femme as often as I possibly could. :2c:

[debra sue]

for me no choice encept 100 % of the time:)

[immike]

For some of you Dressing is something you do occassionally for others maybe more full time.

Bev
If I could dress as a woman&it would be socially acceptable&I could come out of the closet,my very favorite outfit would be a replica Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniform,
without the stars.I would love to feel silky pantyhose,with the shorts,also wearing a pair
of the white boots the ladies wear.I'd really love to feel the silky soft blouse,tied at
midriff,with the vest

[Shelby]

I would dress 50% of the time. My job does require me to get a little dirty and sweating, but it isn't anything that a woman couldn't do. It is just that I have never done my job dressed enfem before so I wouldn't know If I could it. Today, I spent the whole dressed up and loved every minute of it, I just wish I could have gone out in public but my face and hair would give me away and I am just not that carefree of a person.

[Kerigirl2009]

:) I would most definately dress and live fulltime as a woman if it was socially acceptable. Cuz if it was acceptable then my kids wouldn't care and I could dress anyway I want without it being a problem for them. I would absolutely love that if it where true. But sadly it isn't.

[MissConstrued]

Probably less.

What's the fun in doing something that is socially acceptable to everyone?

[HalloweenDragon]

I'd dress very often! I can't say an exact percent because it would vary from month to month. When my son is around I keep the girly stuff away, just so he doesn't have the awkward questions tossed his way from others.

[heatherdress]

Hi Bev - Unfortunately, I do not think any behavior, whether it is normal or abnormal, will ever be 100% accepted. Some people would criticize you for going to church or working a second job or volunteering to help others in your free time. I guess your interesting question would suggest that we should not be as inhibited as we are trying to meet the expectations of others at the expense of our happiness.
If we looked as good as you do, many of us would want to be dressed much more often. I like how I look both ways so I could not select 100% one way or the other. But it is nice to think of a society that would not judge us by our appearance but rather who we are and what we do.

[Pattie O]

I'd love to dress full-time

[Gabie]

Nice question there :)

Since all the clothing would be genderless i would still have to wear clothing to go out :heehee: but most of the time i would still look off (wearing victorian dress on the street:doh:) but 100% female hehe!

[Sophie_C]

100% of the time, but everything would be appropriate for the occasion with a lot of casual wear.

[carolinewalker_2000]

If the social climate ever became as you outline, I gues I would dress both male and female as the mood took me. I'm not a woman; I'm a man who, from time to time, needs to express his feminine side. So, both styles of dress would be appropriate. If only it could come to pass!!!!!

[maggiecdva]

Oh I would love to dress full time and be accepted 100%.
hugs Maggie

[DeeJayGray001]

I would dress 100% of the time, if it were socially accepted. It would be my everyday wear to be in a dress and heels.

[Jessi57]

If all the taboo's were removed and CDing was understood, I would dress how I feel for the day, sometimes femmed sometimes drab. But would definately be at least 70% femme as pretty and colourful beats out khaki and short sleeves any day.

[Ashlee]

I'd dress the way I felt for that time. My dressing isn't too often, it ebbs and flows. It's a lot of work to become my female self.

[leotard fan]

if there were no social taboos, i think i´ll dress female clothes almost of the time: woman swimsuite at the beach, leotard at home or in sports and minidress or miniskirts, with tights, all the time.

[markinhose]

I'd say about 75% of the time. Whenever I'm getting ready to go to work or go out, I look at my girl side of the closet & think "would I love to be wearing that!"

Oh shoot, make that 95%!

i do the same everyday look at my dresser and closet and oh how i wish i could dress 24/7 without the stigma it has with it.

so yes i would in a heartbeat 110% of the time especially seeing i have more female than male choths and shoes and jewelry lol

[markinhose]

and 1 other thing

bev if only i could look as adorable as you .............muahhhh love the pic

[sabrina mercedes]

Socially acceptable?
Well, 100% would be ideal, unfortunately I have a job that would require me being male.
Therefore, I would say realistically, 60% of the time dressed enfemme would do.
Although, when possible, I would be dressed.
:daydreaming::kiss:

[Bev06 GG]

Well ladies, thank you very much for all of those replies. I have to say I thought this post would be long gone.
One of my reasons in asking is that my partner has had ample opportunity throughout the holiday period to dress every day if he wanted to. He lost his job in January so is home most of the time. The kids have been off with their friends on holidays so the house has been empty. We live in the middle of no where so whats stopping him. Well you tell me. He has been living in a 100%socially acceptable environment and he's maybe dressed 3 times in 6 weeks. When I asked him why he hadn't made the effort he said probably because he knew he could do any time he wanted.
Other times when the kids are home and he doesn't get the opportunity he starts to crave some dressing time. Does that make sense to you cause sure as hell doesn't to me.
Any way thanks ladies
Bev

[jenna_woods]

I would never wear another pice of man's things never

It is strange but I can kinda agree. It's that whole thrill of doing something you shouldn't be or the might get caught rush. Although for me, I love it and would dress completely every day if given the chance but it would be more exciting as a secret.

[tinagirlcd]

all the time if i could.

[SuzyZahn]

I`d dress 50%of time children werent around,,,probably,,,,,,as long as wife okays,,,,

he may realize that it won't work. If he does it every day, he'll like it to much and may do it when the kids are around.

[Ras]

I agree with is thoughts on that the urge to dress seems greater when I can't dress due to family or kids being around, then when I have the option to anytime

[Colleen03]

I'd likely go about 40% of the time myself, depends on the circumstances.

[Mandyflcd]

I've day dreamed about this becoming reality so many times. I would probably cross-dress for work and going out but remain in guy mode for karate and family events. Karate with a wig and breast forms on does not sound easy!! LOL

[gina440]

i would say 50 % of the time now but i am leaning towards full time dressing so i would have to say 100 % of the time still a bit shy.

[AlannahNorth]

Lately I've had a lot of time to myself, but haven't been CDing much. The urge sort of comes and goes, I'm not sure why. No big deal - I'll enjoy it when I want to.

[cindy5327]

Actually I wear women's clothing every day, even though it's not apparent to the casual observer. I have found that stretch jeans from the local department store fit rather nice. Well, maybe the hat is rather masculine, but that's for function. Pretty flowers might be too obvious.

[sarahNZ]

In this not so ideal world a GG can wear clobber that is fitting of the task at hand and still be wearing girls clothing, (even if it does look more like it was designed for a bloke).

So in an ideal world I think it fair that I would be able to wear all the clobber associated with females as long as it is ok for the task at hand, just as a GG would!

Do you know if this magical wonderful world actually exists Bev? If so be a darl and let me know so I can pack my bags.

I agree, but it may be a little tough to walk around on a job site in cute pink flats. lol :)

[jennyscott]

Heck yes. On occaision when I look at another woman I think wow, she's hot. Usually however I am focusing on what they wear, how they wear it, and wear. I see so many outfits I would love to wear I don't know where to start. But then again I am just recovering from another (large and expensive) purge.
