Stifled expression

[emmicd]

When you're a crossdresser you tend to enjoy expressing your femme side!

When your in the closet you tend to stifle your femme side and not freely express it!

How does one deal with this internal conflict of wanting to express your femme side but having to repress it?

I accept the fact that I have to remain closeted. When I get the chance, I do express my femme side. Some day I will express my femme to the public.

Just be honest about who you are and you have nothing to worry about.

My most difficult issue is wanting to comment on cute outfits or loving a purse or shoes and knowing that it wouldn't seem right when I am in drab. I try from time to time but still moderate my comments--for instance that's cute as opposed to I love how that top matches your shoes, or that eyeshadow really highlights your eyes.

What is this femme side people talk about so much? I am not sure I have one. I like dressing up en femme, and when it's time to return to drab, I'm a little sad, but essentially I am the same person all the time. What feels repressed for me is not being able to wear the clothes I would like to wear as often as I would like to wear them, and generally not altering the male aspects of my appearance (leg and body hair) too much.

One funny thing relating to "expressed femininity" is that one way I pretend I am crossdressing when I cannot is doing the same things I would do normally -- washing dishes & clothes, cooking. I have always done these things even when the CD in me was thoroughly closeted even to myself.

Anyway, I am just a soul who gets more pleasure from different clothes, that's all.

Cheers,
