At odds with x-dressing?

[RachelPortugal]

Do any of you take part in any activities, hobbies, pastimes etc which may seem at odds with being a x-dresser.

My SO and I are both naturists - weather permitting we are often go naked around the house and nowadays tend to go to naturist locations for holidays and weekend breaks. I always take soem cd things with me, for if I get the chance to go out into the "textile" world.

One advantage with being a naturist, no one questions the hairless body - it's quite common for naturist men to be "smoothies".

[Julie York]

I'm a professional assasin. But with the right shoes and lipstick I can carry it off.


:D

[Gale R]

Don't know if this qualifies, i'm always rummaging about in computers.:D

[Bernadina]

I think a whole lot of us rummage around, in, on and about computers.

I don't know what its like in the UK but here in Canada there are very very few GG's in the computer business.

I'm quite often dressed when I'm programming or something and don't have to leave home.

If I have to do something physical like fixing or building, I do it in drab as I don't want to get my girl's stuff messed up. It just that I keep ruining my nails.

[Veronica E. Scott]

I would say so I am a construction worker Macho guy.There is a certain immage that you have to project anything feminine would be desaterous to ones health,plus I like to ride my motorcycle another thing that dosen't fit with my femm side go figure.

[JulieNY]

I have a sport import that I modify. It really doesn't make me feel like much of a girl, or inspire me to wear nice clothes to ruin. And wine coolers just don't go well with engines, I don't care who says so ;)

Fun to drive it in heels though :D.

[Chelsea]

I'm an artist, (paintings & drawings), and I also sing in a heavy metal band. In both these things wearing a skirt is the norm it would seem :O)

[Shannon]

My three favorite regular activities are figure skating, taking ballet lessons, and working out at the gym....the first two are clearly fem....and working out if for being a better skater, dance, guy, and gurl!

[Nyx]

Well, I'm a computer science student and a programmer... Which is typically masculine... In the sense that not enough girls do it ;)

[Kiva]

I'm doing a ground up resto on a classic muscle car. I do wear panties while I work on it, and I continue to break nails, but this chick loves to go fast! I just hope no one notices me...

Kiva:cool:

[paulaN]

I like to fish and hunt. I know a lot of GG that like to fish but not so many that hunt. I am also an electrician. Not many woman in that field eather.

[Lauren_T]

Computers - nongirly, but I'm not giving them up! :D

Driving (also sailing and flying) - since they're all about controlling a machine's movement through 2- and 3-space, requiring the ability to accurately percieve & control one's spatial orientation, one of the things males happen to be inherently better at. ...and I'm not giving them up, either! :p

[Tara Beth]

I'm an engineer, which in and of itself isn't that gender centered. You do see more men as engineers than women, but I don't see the job itself as fixing on males moreso than females.

HOWEVER, I work in a mill full of gruff, dirty maintenance guys, and I do see the need to "keep up appearances" and not do anything that would draw attention to me.

[Jodi Lynn]

Truckdriver, a mostly male world.

[TGMarla]

Well, considering that if I were to show up to work wearing a nice dress, I'd be laughed at, skewered, beat up, hated on, and fired, I'd have to say that the answer is yes. I am in such a field. But I think you're really asking how many of us work in traditionally macho man dominated fields. If that's the question, my answer depends on how many computer geeks are real macho guys. I'm in IT, and it varies between women, geeks, very male type guys, etc. But it's not exactly steelworking.

[Alison Michelle]

I race cars and ride mountian bikes and have raced bicycle motocross. All of these are male dominated but quite a few girls/women are into bicycles.

[Kimberly]

hehe.... drama and theatre isn't exactly a proffession which is at odds with CDing... but it isn't quite true when they say you can be whoever you want to be in the theatre - yes you can be gay or bi, but transgenderism doesn't even penetrate the acceptance boundries in a place like the THEATRE!! ... oh well... i'll just be bi. :D xx

[cathy b]

i like julie like very fast car . while working on my car dressed does soil some of my girly stuff it makes the task of building and maintaing o lot more fun and a little less tirersome. and haveing my shoulder staps draped over my breast fourm is a way cool fealing for me.
hugs

[Adele]

I'm an electrician and haven't seen any female tradespersons on site for a long time. You do see some occasionally

Only females are sales, interior designers or purchasers.

Have to keep my secret on site cause it's very male and macho. Do wonder if they notice I try to grow my nails long. They soon fill up with dirt or break!!!

Now the cold weather is comming , I'm looking forward to being able to wear tights under my jeans. Still have to be careful though.

[Billijo49504]

I work in a auto factory, one of the BIG 3. You know red necks, white socks and.... With panties under my coveralls. Hobby gunsmith and love to shoot. Since the concealed carry was passed in Michigan, there might be a Smith & Wesson in my purse, with my makeup.

I'd probably end up shooting myself as I pulled the gun from my purse instead on my lipstick.

[Mandy Salamander]

I'm a herpetologist,,, actually I raise and breed several species of snakes, including boa constrictors,,, I s'pose that qualifies,,,,,

[jo_ann]

I build computers for friends/family, tech support... I also do some woodworking in the basement. it can be conflicting at times because it's like "do I really want to wear a dress and get sawdust on it?"

[Bernadina]

I'm not sure it does, at least where I live. My daughter has been caring for and raising snakes for at least 12 years. I'm afraid to ask how many she has right now. Most of her friends that are into snakes are also female.

When my daughter was living at home, one snake would occassionally escape, usually late at night and would head straight into our bedroom. My wife would get very excited as she had a morbid fear of snakes.

[andreaboots]

I am, among many things, mostly an artist, a painter. I don't go fem when I'm splattering paint about, I've already ruined many pieces of clothing.:mad: I also teach, (college) and I must be careful there too because a lot of my students, if not all of them scrutinize us teaching folks very closely for ANY boo-boos, (OOPS, did I say boo-boos???). But I do slip by with a few things and no body is the wiser...:rolleyes: ahem...'cept me of course...it's a nice little perk and I don't get very many he he he!!:D

[Olivia]

I collect guns(and ammunition, of course-damned things are useless without ammo!); lots of them. I shoot when I can. I'm not a hunter though. I'm especially fond of Kalashnikov rifles; AK-47s to most of you I guess. I have 5 currently in the gun safe here at home. And lots of other interesting semi-autos to keep them company, including a very nice Uzi and one legally owned 9mm submachine gun. It's a fun hobby. Olivia

[mary anne]

Im a Teamster and I play hockey, so I feel manly doing that which is why I like to dress and act female whenever possible.Ying and yang I guess.

[Wendy me]

biker , firefighter, hunter....no it fits in ok with me.....

[Phoebe Reece]

When much younger, I was like Olivia and very much into guns. I even got my high school varsity sports letter for being on a competitive rifle team. In more recent years, like Wendy Me, I am a biker. I sometimes have to decide whether I want to dress or get on my machine and go cruising. You can guess which usually wins that choice though. Other active interests over the years that may not seem particularly feminine have included cave exploring, camping, rock climbing, 4-wheeling through remote desert areas, and riding and photographing trains. I have also been a boy scout leader (was a Scoutmaster for 4 years).

[Kim E]

Was a cop for 20 years. Surprising how many CD/TS's are or were cops and firefighters. Something about denial of true self that prompts some to take dangerous professions. Reaffirms to the world anyway, we are in fact masculine. Sort of like hiding in plain sight.

In my spare time I used to hunt, collect guns and work in a friend's fabrication shop building street rods and race cars.

[ballerinagirl]

I m taking ballet lessons.For me ballet is an all female activity,where can express myself with femininity and grace.For the lessons i m wearing ballet tights,leotard inside the tights and ballet slippers.Dressed so girly,between real girls who wear only tights and leotards like me,and moving my body in an all female way with grace,feel like a real woman.Knowing that ballet teacher and girls in my class not consider me as a man,but treat me as a woman is what always wanted.

[Barbara B]

I work in the Security Industry and am seen as very much the action man in the office, I like to fish and shoot, and like nothing better than to spend a day in the field when I can fit it in between all the dressing. It's funny how priorities change and it used to be trying to fit in the dressing!

[MsJanessa]

seakayak guide---but then its the only other activity I can think of where I get to dress in tight rubber, wear a skirt, and paddle things.:rolleyes: :dom:

[Lilith Moon]

SCUBA diving

[Billie Renee]

I drive a tow truck and have to wear a uniform but who says you can't be girlie while doing it. Oh but I don't wear heels while at work,makes it hard to get out quick and hook up.

[Jeri Rene]

Automotive Technician, have the hands to prove it.
Not that there aren't a few women in the trade, and more coming every day. Definately don't dress at work, even if I could make myself do it, since my clothes would get ruined. Even the uniform company has to regularly trim out the shirts or pants with the large oil stains, cutting torch burns. etc

[HaleyPink2000]

Hunting.

I guess Hunting could be done in a long camo skirt and blouse HUH? With matching Camo Nylons, and boots with 3 inch heels. Oh and all mossy oak Camo. Wow the makeup is easy. Just watch any war movie of Nam were the dirty face camo is the way to be. LOL Wow and long satin gloves also in Mossy Oak.

Wow who is going to start a store selling this to us CDs. I'd buy some. lolol

Could you imagine a Mossy oak Gown or even a wedding gown. That would be to die for huh?

Hmmm? What about a Mossy Oak camo Bra and panties with a corset to match. Oh yeah, the 3 inch heels. Ok it's a weird thing that would go with a sport that I get into also. LOLOL

[SandraInHose]

As a hockey player, I'm assuming it would be hard to play aggressively while wearing lingerie! LOL

Besides, the locker room crowd wouldn't appreciate seeing hosiery under my shinpads, etc, after the game. I really was going to shave my legs this winter if I didn't play, but my love for the game won out. Maybe next year...

I also am an avid weightlifter. I'm fortunate enough to have all the equipment I need at home, so from time to time I'm able to work out wearing leotards and tights. Not very often, but when home alone, I take advantage of it. :)

[JoAnnDallas]

When I was younger, I used to hunt, fish, and camp out. I still like to camp out now and again, but my camping is survial camping. That is we take very
little with us, make our shelters out of what we find, eat what we find, kill,
or trap. You be suprised at how well you can survive on so little. I have taken
lesson on making weapons from scratch, like bows and arrows, knifes, hatchets, and etc.

Got started in this when I used to stay at grandpa's and grandmaw's place when I was real little. Grandpaw was 7/8 chocktaw and grandmother was 1/2.
He taught me a lot about the old life and how they used to live.

I never regestered, might still, but sure learned a lot, respect nature a lot,
and has come in handy once or twice. Once back in Vietnam. Used to teach
survial training to new CIA recruits.

[KarenNY]

Believe it or not, I'm a sportswriter... a rather macho profession...

if I ever showed up at work wearing a nice blouse and skirt or dress, I'd be kicked out I'm sure.... :eek:

[JulieFL]

I'm a competitive shooter (IDPA & subgun matches), a stamp collector (I have 6 ATM and am working on #7...NFA stamps that is :D ), & I have a BIG streak of Florida Cracker in me- I love being out in the woods camping & riding my quads.

I really surprised by how many of us gurls are into firearms. I really thought I'd be the only one :cheers:

I have a vid I did about 2 years ago of me getting dolled up and then going to the range and burning up a bunch of powder through various NFA items. :eek:

[Anita Mae GG]

Well, I have one for you and I'm a GG. I LOVE to fish. I love to take my kids fishing (my husband thinks it's boring). I like to work around the house too, fix things, build shelves, mow lawn etc...

Hell last spring I dug a 92ft trench to run electricity to my back yard and I even installed the electricity to it and circuit breaker all by myself.......normally things a guy would do but I am quite capable. And it saves my husband from having to do it and he gets to relax a bit more after work and on weekends.

And no, not a tomboy at all.......just independent I guess. I like to learn things and do things when given the opportunity :)

So I guess male or female there are things that we ALL do that don't reflect our born gender.

;)

[Keri]

Most of my time in the fall and winter I spend operating a chain saw and weilding an axe as I have to cut many cords of wood to keep my fireplaces going. Not too feminine, especially with the steel-toed boots, but, after a warm bath, it's nice slipping into my alter-ego. I love the contrast, and my gal also enjoys seeing the "man-li-ness" in me while I'm out in the woodlot.

Dear Sandra:

As a kid I too played Hockey. It may be "macho" but, it's the only sport that I've ever heard of, where the guys wear garter belts! (holds up the socks don't you know...wait a sec, same thing for all of us, just different "socks"!)

Me personally, well I used to race Sports Cars when I was younger, play a lot of golf, do a lot of treasure hunting. That's all pretty male!

I just realized, are we expressing our CD "duality" here? Never gave it a thought, very intriguing!

[Lissa Stevens]

I am a maintenance engineer and I fish and hunt for relaxation.

Sterling12, I guess I've been doing both activities for so long I never made the garter belt connection! Besides, I'm a pantyhose guy!

Maybe because the garter belt and socks in hockey are so thick and anything but feminine it didn't strike me...and also because in the last few years there are these things called 'jock shorts' which are a brief with the cup built in, and strips of velcro along the bottom to hold the socks up. No garters needed. Still, you make a good point! ;)
