Pondering Boobs

[melissacd]

I was pondering today, as often I do, and I wondered if part of the reason that SO's might have a problem with us cross dressing is that we try to look like females. I know that I am stating the blindingly obvious but hear me out for a second.

Many of us want to create a complete head to toe illusion that includes bra's for breasts that men typically don't have.

Trying to put myself in my SO's shoes (pun intended), I can see where saying that I just want to express my feminine self could include clothes, makeup, hair styling, nails, undergarments, fragrances, pantyhose and shoes, however, do we cross a line that suggests that we really do want to be female when we donne fake boobs and a bra?

Oh and by the way, I realize that if we want to go out in social settings in those cases it does make sense to have boobs because they may be less tolerant of a man in a dress...

Exactly. If I hear one more person whine about how "women can wear pants, so why can't I wear a dress" I'll just scream. I will, I will.... :Pullhair: It's the intent to present as women that distinguishes cross-dressing from the kiltmen (http://www.kiltmen.com/) or the freestylers. (http://www.kiltmen.com/freestyle.htm) It's as if GGs who wear men's-styled clothing also chose to add facial hair and to strap and pack.

Absolutely. I've been stating that exact sentiment all along. My wife raids my closet and wears my things, but NEVER tries, or wants for that matter, to present herself as a man. When I raid her closet, I try as hard as I am able, to present as a woman. It's a whole different thing.

Furthermore, I believe that if it were acceptable for men to wear dresses and such, I would still be donning fake breasts, etc. in an effort to present as a female. It's what I want to do. It just goes deeper than the clothing.

Well, it is probably a little more complicated than that, I think. In trying to look and be as feminine as I can I I certainly think boobs are a big part of it - (after all most adult females have them) and i love mine but fundamentally there is still no comparison to real boobs. The heft of them, size of nipples, basic feeling. We just try to look as closely as we can to women.
I am sure there are some out there who are happy wearing a few items but I have always felt that I wanted to look as genuine as possible. To say that men don't wear a bra or have boobs - well, I know e few who look to have boobs but you're right - they don't wear a bra. But also most men (if any) wear shiny red fingernail and toenails polished, wear nylons and 3 inch heels or perfume oe makeup, etc. It is niot just the boobs but they definitely help for full effect.

Some times it is just about the clothes. If I were a bit braver and society were a bit more accepting, I'd probably do the Eddie Izzard pretty/tough androgynous look part of the time. Probably not that different than GGs who dress "un-femme" at times to express their "masculine" side.

But would I still cross-dressing? I'm sure I would. Each would satisfy different needs, just as being en homme does.

I finally got my boobs to fill out a 38B and Im happy as a lark. They aren't real big but they jiggle around enough to let me know they are still there, and that's all that matters. I'm even happy going bra-less now. I don't have to ponder boobs anymore, I just enjoy them.
