Questions for closeted cross dressers...

[JLynn17]

Do u ever wear make-up while out dressed as a male? I myself claim to be in a closet with a door wide open... im pretty sure people can see through the door pretty easy as i tend to keep the light on.. a girl i work with asked me if I go both ways lol wow i feel like i go more ways than she is even asking about...

Do you ever plan to transition to full-time? I do plan to transition to full time, Im just not sure if im "taking it too fast" just 3 months ago I was like all boy looking, then off went the body hair and bushy brows... the next month i would occasionaly wear womens undergarments out and about, the next month I took lose dose hormones I "obtained" and then would only wear male undergarments like once a week, and plus at this time I started wearing mascara, this month , month 3 of my transition if you will its eye shadow mascara eyeliner lip gloss and it seems like the more i put on the more i get and the further i go, ugh maybe i am going to quick, i just feel like its gonna be like a huge shock for all my family and close friends... but ya know maybe they know its coming and just waiting for me to come around to tell them i dunno... i just know if i keep going at this rate, i will be full time soon... ugh sorry i dunno i am just rambling tryin to get things off my chest out of my head... it helps :-\ ugh hahaha i feel like I am not confused at what i want but gettings there seems like it is taking so long even though i know i am pushing way too fast ... anyway ill end this for now bye bye all much love and hugs :-*

jandsam, your question is like comparing 1 against 100. Closet crossdressers vs. people that transition? What?
Okay, I'm a CD/TG that goes out in public in the most public places. I have several number of friends that are either on HRT, or have done the full works. They are real people with families, marriages and kids, not those girls you see in the ads for ******* escorts of local entertainment newspapers.

There is a lot involved with coming out, and going full time. My family & friends know about me. My boss & co-workers don't
I accepted the fact that not everyone would feel comfortable, that's fine. I need to be me. there is no other way.
Peace & love,
Nathalie

No ..never ( not that there is anything wrong with it ).. I am a closet dresser myself, it's mostly about the clothing and emulating a female so yes I do use makeup)..Nothing about my G.M. side is Fem in anyway so makeup comes off first because I can not stand the look of makeup on My male counter parts face.


Do you ever plan to transition to full-time?

No ,I have no desire at this time to ever transition, I really enjoy being a guy .. Don't get me wrong I also enjoy Lucy but will never become her full time ( it's a pain in the a&& emulating a female I can only imagine what a bigger pain it would become going full time).. I'm just to damn lazy for that kind of effort..

I don't dress around anyone that I'm not out to. My S.O. knows and isn't comfortable with it, but he knows why I do it and that I plan to keep doing it. He accepts that, and is learning to deal with it in his own way. I personally prefer makeup over wearing women's clothes, but I do both. I like the rocker/metalhead look, and am seeking to pass as a "tomboy", but unmistakably be a girl.

To that end, yes I plan to live as a woman. I want to do so without any surgeries or hormones. I'm ok with this because I've realized that I'm bi-gendered and am comfortable with looking female but with male bits. I also believe that I'm perfect just the way I am. This should in no way imply that I somehow look down on others that choose to do those things, by all means go for it. I'm just saying that I like the challenge of passing using the tools I was given. My S.O. knows that I plan to live as a woman and he had told me that he will love me no matter what, and that he is just trying to get over his own personal hang-ups with it.

Have no doubts, if you are wearing make-up, people will know and this certainly means you are not closeted. At least for my definition, any time we do something external that is noticeable and attributable to dressing, you have opened that door. Also, if you are going to take hormones, please see a doctor. There are some serious and possibly life-threatening consequences with taking them without being under a doctor's care.

Jandsam, I'm closeted, it will remain that way since I don't want to attract any haters close to home. Then my wife would have to deal with it too, which isn't fair to her.

I don't wear any makeup in guy mode for the same reasons.

No plans to go fulltime with this (see above again) even though the urges are strong. I do have gender dysphoria right now.The euphoria when dressed can cause one to to take this too fast and too far. Sometimes we need to slow it down for ourselves and our SO's if we have one. The need to transition and/or take hormones should only be done after seeing a gender therapist and then qualified doctors. Transition is a serious issue that requires lots of thinking and planning, and medical help.

I am also closeted, but not as a CD, as a TG. I do wear some makeup everyday to work, I try to be very subtle. I want to enhance my look and be somewhat feminine, but not shout that I am wearing it. If I am going out somewhere and a bit more makeup is appropriate I do wear it in drab. I don't often get the chance to go out fully en femme but do try as often as possible. I do plan on fully transitioning eventually. Over the last six months or so I have come farther out of the closet and not have had any problems, so I am hoping. I may have to totally change my life, even move to another city, when I do transition, but I am taking it one day at a time for now............Stephanie
