Do any fulltime M2F transgender people crossdress to releive stress? Or for fun?

[Melissa Jill]

Something I thought about recently, have you heard of any TG women that crossdress as men out of their own freewill?
A couple of weeks ago just after going fulltime I certainly had a desire to, just to relieve some stress.

I have a really hard time imagining anyone who has been forced throughout their lives to act in certain ways contrary to their nature, once they have been able to shed those behaviors/actions, to revert to them in any way for pleasure.

In your instance, and without knowing more than what you have told us, I would speculate that fulltime RLE initially brought a variety of worries, difficult interactions with people and other stresses that you sought some escape from temporarily. You thus sought the "safety" of a known situation - not for enjoyment, but mainly to be on familiar ground. I would further speculate that while you "retreated" to men's clothes, you would not have gone out a great deal to interact with others, but instead would have stayed at home - seeking, again, "safety" but through isolation. Am I anywhere near what happened, or am I totally off the mark?

If this was recent, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen often. If this occurred some time ago, I would be curious to learn more, such as how long it went on for.

Yeah, I just wanted to retreat to familiar ground. I didn't though, I just want to clarify that. I made sure that I didn't because I didn't want to cop out.

I actually get really stressed out if I think I'm projecting any kind of male aura. If I put on a pair of boxers again I think my head would explode off my neck.

Oh my gosh. Sorry about that. I see that you did state it was only a desire, not something you actually did.

There is nothing wrong with having fearful thoughts. It's good, though, that you didn't give in to the fear!

I have one friend when she goes to see her dad she will present male. But I'm pretty sure it is not fun or a a stress relief for her.

I have thought about doing it one evening coming up in October for an event I am attending. There is a dinner banquet with a few hundred people and I am the chair person so I will be up front and be dressed really nice as a woman of course, but right after the dinner there is a talent show for the people there and almost always there is a stupid skit with guys in drag that gets everyone laughing, I have gotten upset about this in the past. So, I was thinking of doing a quick change of clothing and doing my own skit, crossdressing as a man to make a point in front of everyone - but have not quite figured out how to do it to make the point I want to make, or if I got the guts to actually do it.

I know an FTM that does drag for fun :P

Hmmmmmmmm, if I may restructure your question perhaps a bit Melissa, because as it is reading now it would offer idea that a full on Transsexual who is committed to pursuit of femininity at any cost would in fact sometime think of regress, however said that id does happen for some, but I trully believe these individuals are not Transsexyuals but maybe misdiagnosed Crossdressers, it has to be.

I have experienced a very gradual transition into dressing in the full on female gender appropriate clothing. As I was slowly changing into a more feminine creature I started to wear more appropriate clothing but rather instead of flowery skirts and heels I was resulting to jeans Tshirts flats, all womens department finds, but seemingly non gender specific. And YES, the reason was that I wanted as least attention as I could do without. Because in my understanding, however one transitioner thinks to them selves, they will be perceived as FREAK to most of the passers by, It a fact!
And even though I sort of was blending into the surroundings I often got the stares of inquisitive nature, but I know that if I was wearing skirts and heels those stares would have turned into laughter and condescending remarks.

I don't know! That was just me, and more I have progressed into womanhood dressing it self became less important in place of SELF, BODY, POISE, MOVEMENT, GESTURES, just basically being a woman even when clothing was off :)

Absolutely not !

the only reason I even have boy clothes in my closet still is because when my roommates kids are in town, i cant be audrey around them, but I cleaned out half my closet a few weeks ago, i have just enough boy clothes for a few days at most. hell no, I wouldn't ever wear men's clothes again unless i absolutely had to. no desire to, don't want to for any reason.
