"BANG BANG!" Wearing his army costume, 7 year old Jimmy shoots at the pumpkin on the porch then jumps out from behind the shrubs. He does a mock leopard crawl along the lawn and takes his imaginary war elsewhere. While wearing his camouflage, Jimmy feels like a real soldier.
"CLEAR!" Wearing scrubs, 8 year old Sarah takes her toy paddles and tries in vain to bring her doll back to life. Failing to do so, she pulls the blanket over her dolls face and tells her teddy bear "I'm sorry, she's gone." While wearing her scrubs, Sarah feel like a real doctor.
"FREEEEEEEZE POLICE!" Wearing her mini version of a policewoman uniform, Tammy chases after Billy who is wearing his ninja costume. She pulls her plastic revolver and shoots towards him, he feigns pain and rolls over on the ground. Tammy puts her little handcuffs on him and searches for his nun chucks. In her police uniform costume, Tammy feels like a real policewoman. Poor Billy feels like he wants to go home. Tammy is too rough.
"YES! I'D LOVE TO DANCE" Blushing and wearing a short black cocktail dress, wig, makeup and heels, David is pulled away from his table by a woman wearing a cat costume and goes dancing on the dance floor. He gyrates and moves like a woman in an exaggerated way, much to the embarrassment of his buddy John who is also in drag waiting at their table. David feels like a woman, and emulates one all night. However, John wishes he never let David convince him to dress as a woman for this party. John feels like a woman too, and doesn't like it.
When we wear costumes, we feel like we ARE what we emulate. You don't have to be a policeman to feel like one or to have others perceive you to be one. You don't even have to be a child. You don't have to be a crossdresser to feel like a woman when you are dressed as one. A non-crossdresser in drag will probably not like the feminine role they've assumed unless they can mock it and downplay the femininity bestowed upon them.
When a crossdresser dresses, it isn't the clothing itself that's what attracts us to it. There are men's clothing out there that are reasonably feminine, there are silk underwear for men etc... but it's for men. It's how we feel when we wear women's clothing. Much like how Jimmy feels like a soldier when he wears his costume, we feel like women when we wear their clothing. Other people's perception of us further enhances how we feel (as long as we are reasonably passable). The more we do to feel like a woman, the more we want and the further along the "continuum" we go. Only restraint stops it.
Now I'm not speaking for everyone, there are transexuals that dress because they ARE women, and there are some of us that simply like how it looks on them or how it feels. I'd say that for the most part, most regular run-of-the-mill crossdressers do it because they want to feel like women, albeit temporarily.
Oh, what am I talking about...I am having a hard time conveying what I'm thinking here...I think I just had a brain fart and I can't say what I mean...can you see what I mean through this convoluted posting?:doh:
