I guess I really became a cross dresser when I purchased my first pair of panties many year ago. Prior to that I would just “borrow” my mothers, sisters and girlfriends panties from time to time for my own pleasure. But while living alone as a bachelor, I eventually started to purchase my own female things. Of course I enjoyed it and still do. Why do I enjoy it and other males do not? I?ll never know. I?ve been trying to figure it out for years. It is the primary reason that I joined this forum years ago. What makes us cross dressers? When someone finds the answer, please let me in on that secret.

[Jean. Ann]

The feeling can range from an intense euphoria to
a simple feeling of peace , happi
ness , and wel being . So many different reactions to the same thing .

Interesting question, I think shopping for women’s whatever is just so much fun. I have no idea why but I look forward to it all the time.

[Bobbi46]

Could it be that women have always been like they are and therefore buying clothes for them is matter of fact but for us all wired differently it becomes a time of pure joy and pleasure.

[Nicole79]

Great question. For me, women's clothing is so sexy and I wanted to feel what they feel when getting dressed up. I'm not sure why I started but I've never felt more alive than when I'm dressing up as Nicole.

[NancySue]

I agree. Why? Who knows? Since my early years, I?ve always been astounded by the senses, feelings, comfort, peace, etc. when I dress...from one or two things to the full package. Over the years, I?ve invested hours and hours searching, reading, thinking about the ?why?. I still have yet to find an answer that makes any sense, but, daily, I know that I both want and need to experience the pleasures of dressing.

[Jean 103]

The why question, the only answer I have been able to come up with is it completes me.

It is more than a feeling, I went at this hard about five years ago. My wife had thrown me out, after 30 years. I was in a DADT at the time, I just couldn't control myself.

I ended up becoming just Jean. I actually prefer this than any box you want to put me into.

About year and a half after being thrown out, I'm the lady of the house living with a man. He would prefer I just dressed for special occasions. I can't do that, I have to dress all the time. I do work as a guy, but wearing women's clothes, with one exception a company t-shirt.

My boyfriend (a lead singer) got front row seats to a George Thorogood concert. He asked me if I would go as a guy. I was completely miserable and everyone could tell. I couldn't leave, I just sat there motionless, not me at all. Legs and arms crossed, head down, it was the only way I could keep from standing up and running out. All the women were in dresses. He later apologized, I too apologized for my behavior.

I have given up trying to answer this question. At this point I don't see knowing the answer would make any difference.

I'm just Jean.

[bridget thronton]

I am attracted to the colors and prints (usually end up with a dress with pockets)

[Robertacd]

For years I was a crossdresser that didn't know why and didn't care to know.

But locked away deep in my heart I knew why, I just didn't want to admit it to myself.

I am transgender and I like to wear the clothing of the gender I identify with.

[Victoria_Winters]

For me shopping for clothes make or female are the same. I don?t a huge amount of joy from shopping for female clothes. Much like when I go shopping for male clothes I buy what catches my eye.

Now on that note, my taste of female clothes is completely different from my male clothes. Most of my male clothes tend to be fairly androgynous and pretty much only black but me female clothes tend to be more colorful and have patterns to them. Much like my male closes, they are mostly something that is comfortable to wear. No super tight clothes. Don?t have the figure for it!

Since shopping for clothes, male or female, don?t hold a huge draw for me. I see it as just something that needs to get done every so often. It might hold a different view if it was like planned day out with someone I like but as I am not seeing anyone and just fresh from a divorce it is very likely to happen.

Robertacd: Pockets! Exactly! This is one of the few reasons I usually don?t wear female jeans. Women have been short changed on pockets! There are a lot of pants out there with fake pockets or pockets that are flipping tiny as heck! I love pockets. When I see something real pockets I tend to scoop them up!

[Stephanie47]

I find women's clothing is more expressive than male clothing. Generally speaking male clothing tends to be boring. I worked in an office environment for many decades. I worked with professionals across the table from me. The choice of slacks was limited; black, grey, brown and not much else. Shirts and ties offered me a chance to express myself. Rather than wear a mundane white dress shirt I wore shirts of various colors. Ties allowed me to express myself on any given day. Thr ability to be express myself on any given day works better with women's attire. I love dresses. Yes, I have the LBD all women seem to have hanging in their closets. However, I am drawn to prints. I especially love floral prints which is followed by patterns. Footwear in women's attire has a lot more range than my guy footwear which was only in black and brown. How much better it is to match footwear to the colors in a dress. Undergarments? On the boy side it is always white or black and it was usually white since black may show through a dress shirt. Some GG's on this site many years ago chastised me for matching my undergarments (bra, panty and slip). I love color. And, my love is not limited to the outerwear; dress and shoes. It feels sensual to wear a red bra, panty and full slip under a red dress. I have full slips over a wide range. Of course, the slips are all in the vintage category now. Clothes to me are more than something to cover bare skin against the elements (rain, cold, sun). Clothes are a way to express myself. Instead of "read my lips" it is look at my dress!

[Tracii G]

No long drawn out reasons or excuses I'm transgender and the clothes help me feel normal.

[Alice Torn]

I cannot totally understand why. But, some clues.. My dad did not want sons, annnd got three oof them. He adored my sister, but resented the sons. Also, I was kept away from girls and women for a long time, and din not get the nerve to talk with women a lot until in my late 20's. I have been starved for female touch and beauty. At age 13, started "borrowing" my sister and moms things. Quit for years, but occasionally ordered pantyhose by mail. At age 51, bought my first thrift store dress, wig, ordered heels by mail, bought first bra, girdles, panties, jewelry. I like the sensual way it all feels and looks, and i have tried to quit many times, and purged 99% a few years ago, only, start again several months later. I think it is also an escape from my lonely unwanted bachelor world, to temporarily look and feel like a tall, attractive woman, i admire. But, i can not let it take over my whole life, for several reasons. I like doing guy things as a guy, too

[April Rose]

I have been aware of my femininity, and the need to hide it, from a very young age. The clothes help me express that. I don't seem to have the dysphoria that insists that I AM a woman, but in many ways, I am like a woman, and the more I can simply be myself in that way, the happier and more at peace I seem to be.

[RADER]

Interesting question;
It could be a feeling with-in to be a woman,
It could be that it is taboo, and you are getting away with it.
It could be you like the different fabrics that women wear.
Or it could be you just like to dress up.
To me, well it is part and all of the above.
Rade

[fun4metoo2004]

For me it started as a sexual rush. I was not one of the cool kids in high school. No dates, no dances, very few parties. I was really not accepted. So, being home a lot and my mother working two jobs, I started trying her stuff, and the occasional makeup while taking care of business.

Now, I do it simply because I enjoy it. There is still a sexual aspect to it for me, however that is not all it is anymore. I have found it very interesting the acceptance of the GG's I know and have seen me dressed either in photo or IRL. That helps my confidence obviously. being able to express myself in the forum has also helped.

I have decided I don't want to continue paying a makeup artist except for special occasions maybe. So, getting all the tools of the trade and various makeup stuff and going to work on doing it myself. Wish me luck!

[Micki_Finn]

Because I like to walk my fabulous glamazon butt into a room and watch the jaws drop.

[soyangela]

This is a question I'm also trying to answer. By some of the responses there seems to be no real answer. The best I have come up with for me is that I love feeling feminine. I love putting on a bra and panties, sliding on my nylons. Wearing a pretty floral print dress with some heels. It makes me feel like a woman.

[Jean. Ann]

I was socially inept :
Ignored by the girls
often teased and bullied by the older
Bigger boys
Maybe in part my way of compensating for
Not being popular or having a real girlfriend.
Maybe I became my own girlfriend or something like that

Dressing in girl clothes decreases the gender identity dysphoria. So I feel normal when dressed as a girl, but uncomfortable when dressed as a guy. It's that simple. There more to it, about how I wound up this way (clue, I wasn't born this way, link in my sig below), but that's why I do it.

[Confucius]

I believe that it is simply how our brains are hardwired. Men and women's brains are hardwired differently, and use different neural pathways. Research has shown that transgender's brains are somehow between typical male and female. Cross-dressing isn't a point on the sexual spectrum, but encompasses its own spectrum.

When a cross-dresser feminizes himself his brain releases a host of feel-good neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, etc.) that produce the sensations we enjoy. Yes, cross-dressing may just be about the brain's neurotransmitters.

[Judy-Somthing]

How can it be put into words? It's just CRAZY FUN that's why!

For awhile I thought maybe if I spent more time working on my looks in male mode I could stop the PINK-FOG!

I don't see that happening anytime soon.

[Tracii G]

I really like threads like this because I love to read all the ornate stories with all the excuses of why they dress.
Some have still not accepted what they are and I can tell by the way they are telling a story trying to convince themselves they are not something they actually are.

[Alice Torn]

Jean Ann, I can relate to being my own girlfriend. I am super tall, and never had a tall lady interested much in me. My Alice is the girlfriend or wife i never had.

[Tracii G]

Alice I would think there are a lot of CDers that feel that way.

[RacyRobin]

I fully agree with Alice. Not only am I anamord with my self, I am the other woman.

[Alice Torn]

I still hope I meet a GG that could be a good friend, though, and maybe more.

[Maid_Marion]

I look good in women's clothes as I have a petite hourglass figure. It is quite affirming to be able to buy clothes that fits really well right off the rack after decades of not being able to buy clothes that fit. I've walked into a men's store, asked if they had anything that would fit me, and left after receiving the expected answer.

It is really fun to take advantage of the sales. I had $45 in awards cash from VS, so bought a floral satin PJ top for the coming cold weather. Not only was it discounted down to $4.50, but I got free panties and a $20 discount coupon to use next month!
It is hard for me to use that much awards cash and take advantage of free shipping, so it makes sense to visit the store and make sure the sleeves are exactly the right length.

[Janine cd]

I dress because I am able . The desire has always been there. It's only now that I'm able to do it freely without feelings of guilt.

[Vickie_CDTV]

There is no one reason, there are many, many different reasons why a man may crossdress. Some are transsexual and it eases feelings of GID, for some it is a fetish, for some it is a substitute for a wife or girlfriend, some because skirts are more physically comfortable than pants, for some it reminds them of the feelings of love and security they felt from their mother, and on and on.

[susan54]

I have often asked myself this question, and am no closer to an answer. Unlike many on here the gender ID thing does not come into it. I like to look stylish and elegant, and it is easier and more comfortable to achieve this in women's clothes. I have several times been told by women that I look better in womenswear than menswear. I do not venture into women's trousers. I have a few pairs but I don't wear them - I could argue that they are more comfortable than men's trousers as they are looser and have softer fabric, but that is not where I want to go. My own theory is that my mother was very stylish, never wore trousers, and my crossdressing - only in smart clothes - is a subconscious attempt to impress her even though she is no longer with us. She always admired my fingernails and I love shaping and painting them when I can get a few days in a row without having to show them in male mode. I get a buzz out of looking good in a dress and of being out in a dress that I know looks good on me but at home I don't bother with the wig or make up - it is about the clothes. I now have over 1000 skirts and over 1000 dresses and spend almost all my free time in dresses. I have never felt I was womanly or feminine - I just aspire to elegance. I am fortunate that I have a figure (with added boobs) and legs that suit dresses - perhaps it is that this figure and my legs (with added height in heels) are on show in womenswear but not in menswear, giving me that extra something. I have really stopped the self-analysis and now just get on with enjoying it - I get a lot of fun out of it and it harms no one. If it is not a problem there is no need to justify it, even to myself. Yes, I would have a lot more money if I stopped buying ?150 dresses but I am lucky I can afford this - and everyone indulges their hobbies - and for me it is probably something resembling a hobby. I am a happy person who does not get depressed and I wonder if being able to wear dresses almost as much as I want contributes to this.

The Devil makes us do it 😊

[Teresa]

Jean,
After fighting the battle of feeling and being told it was wrong , I'm now finally winning the battle of knowing it's right .

Tracii,
It takes time and some people are still fighting the battles , to totally believe in yourself is hard for a TG person .

[alwayshave]

I didn't choose crossdressing, crossdressing chose me. Given that, I love the look and the feel of women's clothes. The tactile sensation of women's clothes is so different than men's.

[Cheryl T]

For decades I tried to answer that question.
I simply feel at ease, that this is how I was supposed to be.

I no longer try to discover why, I simply enjoy being me.

[Ressie]

Wearing them is what makes me feel good. Buying them consists of trying too find something that I really want.

It becomes more of a chore for me sometimes because what I'm looking for has to pass my criteria. Fit, style, price, desire to wear it, and it's a waste to buy something that's too similar to items I already have no matter how good of a deal it is. Also, my back starts to hurt while going thru racks of clothes.

Searching for that one dress that will look great on my male body. Buyer's remorse doesn't make me feel good.

[jacques]

hello Jean Ann,
I have dressed since I was about 8 years old and I still do not know why!
I have learnt to stop asking why and just enjoy it!
luv J

[CynthiaD]

Sometimes it’s best not to overthink things. I just got off of two solid days in male mode and it feels incredibly good to get back to normal. Why? Who knows? Who cares? I just know in my heart that this is the right thing for me.

[JenniferR771]

Good point.
Wearing pretty clothes is a good feeling for me. Intense in my late teen years.
Now, I think of my habit as a fetish. It faded out for a few years after I got married in 1972.
Nowadays, I get a warm erotic feeling from dressing. And it is fun to shop for myself in my favorite thrift shop.
I am slowly getting a bit better at putting an outfit together with matching shoes and purse. Maybe cute hair. Sometimes cute makeup. Skill and creativity are improving.
Red Carpet Emmy awards, for sure--however, not many events call for a dress anymore. Women are dressing more and more masculine. Sigh--driving cars, not having babies, working jobs, wearing pants. Where will it end? Trying to imagine my wife wearing a suit and tie...

[char GG]

This is an interesting thread. One of the things that the newly informed SO's ask is "why?" From the responses here, many don't KNOW why. So the question remains unanswered and a mystery. Not saying it's right or wrong. If "I don't know why" is the answer, than so be it.


Quote from JenniferR771: Women are dressing more and more masculine. Sigh--driving cars, not having babies, working jobs, wearing pants. Where will it end?

Interesting observation, Jennifer. Women are more comfortable in knowing what THEY want from life and not what society thinks what they should want. (Kind of similar what CDers want from life, independence from old rules). To me, that is a good thing.

[LilSissyStevie]

I've entertained several theories over the years. At one time I thought I was expressing my feminine side. Then I thought maybe I had a woman's mind in a male body. I even considered that I had some genetic or developmental (i.e., the hormonal wash theory) "defect" that caused me to have a female sexuality and that my strange sexual predilections were just an attempt to satisfy my female sexuality with the wrong equipment. But I eventually realized I don't really have a feminine side and I haven't a clue what a woman's mind is supposed to be. Other times I thought I was trying to emulate the kind of woman to which I was attracted - to be my own girlfriend, so to speak. Except that the women I'm attracted to in real life are the exact opposite of what I emulate. So I took the attitude of just enjoying it and not worrying about the "why" of it all since it all seemed unknowable. But I can only suppress the questions for so long before they come back to nag at me.

Currently, the explanation that makes the most sense to me is emasculation trauma + sexual imprinting. To make a long story short, when I was little I suffered a lot of emotional abuse which included the constant questioning of my masculinity. I countered that with attempts at hyper masculinity but the anxiety of trying to maintain that facade would wear me down and I would lapse into fantasy about being a girl and I would actualize that by CDing. Being "feminine" (IOW, whatever was the opposite of masculinity) gave me a great sense of relief and serenity. When I reached puberty, a major window of sexual imprinting, I had tremendous anxiety about being able to relate to and perform with girls. I thought how much easier it would be to be one. I began to fantasize about being a girl sexually. The thought of being a male sexually was so anxiety producing that it became somewhat of a turn off. I could feel sexy imagining myself as a girl but not as a boy. When I learned about homosexuality, I thought that must be my problem. I must in denial about being gay. Trying to maintain the facade of straightness led me to fantasize about being an effeminate gay bottom for relief from that anxiety.

The only thing that knowing this changes is that I don't feel that anxiety any more but the imprinted sexuality remains and I don't think it will ever go away as long as I have any libido left.

[KarenSusan]

I have no answer for why I do it. I feel it is simply a cross I have to bear.

[Gillian Gigs]

Asking why someone CD's is a valid question, which gets answered in a million ways by a million different people. Mine started off as an abuse/punishment at 4, and before puberty I was dressing for the thrill, excitement, sensual and tactile rush of wearing something that was not in the realm of my boy world. It was fun trying on my sisters and moms clothes when I was alone, and I was alone a lot from 11 onward. I continued this behaviour for several years, my first ejaculation was while I was dressed and realizing how pleasant this experience could be, it became almost impossible to stop. The two separate experiences became deeply intertwined quickly, which eventually lead to many years of self condemnation, and guilt. It has taken many years to get to were I am today, the road to self acceptance has been a long and winding trail. I can't change the past, but I can have a say in my own future. It is still enjoyable dressing today for many other reasons. Dah, if I didn't still enjoy dressing, I would have stopped by now... I think??

Like others, I have questioned my sexuality, gender identity, mental make up, etc. I have come to realize that whether it be through imprinting, or hardwiring, I am who I am and I can't change what has happened. So I have moved on, accepting the past, my quirks and enjoy being me, after all it's only clothes, right!

[Angie G]

I really believe it's the girl in us wanting to get out. I often wanted to be a girl and have been dressing here and there for years :hugs:
Angie

[Rayleen]

I do it because I feel its me and I live it every day and really fulfill my life.

[Teri Ray]

This has always been the $64,000 question. I have always had this desire and gone through all the emotional ups and downs associated with the desire. I have no clue what made me have the desire. The only thing I do know about my desire to crossdress is I have finally accepted that I have it and likely its not going away.

[CarlaWestin]

Jen, that's pretty much where I'm at. As you know, there's a whole euphoric activity with me becoming the woman of whatever fantasy I've been entertaining. And then the picture and videos shoot and process.

Now, Honey. That's funny!

To answer the why question, I my personal development, I was the youngest of five. Watching in curiosity all the experiences that my sisters were enjoying, (makeup, fashion, jewelry, fragrance, etc...) and wondering why I couldn't participate.
And I was Mom's companion as she got ready for work in the morning. A beautiful process. She worked in an office and back in the sixties, that was a formal affair. She would get entirely ready except her dress (didn't want to get it wrinkled) and parade around
getting us off to school wearing heels, stockings, panty girdle and bra with beautiful makeup and hair and all her jewelry. So, I decided early on to experience my version of womanhood while enjoying my maleness. Add an interest in bondage to all that and you
have a broad spectrum personality.

[Alice Torn]

Sigh, here too Jennifer. It depresses me, when i see the wonderful fashions of yester decades. It seems like mostly CDers are keeping those great fashions going, now. Sigh

LSS, I can sure relate to your post. My libido is almost entirely gone now, but the desire to dress is still strong.. However, i do not dress as often now, but think about it most of the time.

KS, I feel the same way. I would rather have been a normal guy.

Carla, i can relate. Dressing is like a forbidden oasis in a dull desert.

[ShelbyDawn]

I spent five years with a therapist for a variety of issues; Crossdressing being one. In the final analysis I came to realize that,as much as I wanted to figure it out, the 'why' didn't really matter.
The facts are that it is something that doesn't hurt anybody, is nobodies business but mine and fills a part of me that is missing when it is not there.

[Melissa in SE Tn]

Certainly can relate to everyone?s account. Love to hear your stories.

[suit]

LOL There you go thinking ...again ! expectation on the ceiling never good enough , rose colored glasses 1950's expectations on 1970's budget > tv show in "living color" skits lowered expectations you tube. insight to parents drunk truncated communications over heard by those they speak of ,trying interpret and meet expectations. when it was really a reference to a joke from before you were born . some times the dog kicking grass on that shit is the best thing to do .

[Felicia M]

It began when I was four. How on earth do I begin to answer what drove me to put on my mother's pantyhose then? How did it even happen?

I don't know if I will ever have the answer to the question of why but it truly has been a part of my entire life and I am at peace with it.

FM

[lingerieLiz]

I've wondered why for years. I started young and have always liked girls clothes. I love to shop with women especially with my wife. Ironically i'm moving clothes around. Today I was looking at all the lingerie I owned. I don't think there is one answer. I like being a man, but when I was young and passed I loved the ability to be out and about as a girl. I wear women's clothes full time including bras. I have found that as the years go buy wearing women's clothes seems normal.

[GaleWarning]

I crossdress because I enjoy wearing the clothes!

Like everyone else, I have spent years trying to figure out the puzzle of why I crossdress. After much soul searching, it simply boils down to one simple factual explanation.

This site has been particularly helpful in my journey. Reading others' posts and thinking, "Yes, that sounds like me" or "No, that's not how I feel" has clarified my understanding of a very heavy and burdensome problem!

[emma30]

Jean for me its such a natural thing when i am Emma i feel true to myself and relaxed.

[Ginni]

I dress because of the feminine part of me wants to display herself.

[dana8656]

I simply like the way the clothes feel on my body. Men's clothes tend to be of a rougher material and can feel like sandpaper sometimes.
The feeling of a short sleeve knit sweater, the feeling of a nylon slip under a pretty dress, the look of hose and heels, that feeling of how a skirt rubs against the back of your legs as you walk, the red color of your fingernails as you watch yourself type on the keyboard. mmmmmm. Personally for me that is why crossdressing.

[BrendaPDX]

All I know is I breath better and feel at ease.

[BTWimRobin]

I enjoy shopping for women's clothing. It's so much fun.

I have no clue why I want to dress. I have always wanted to dress since I was little. Over fifty ore so years later, I finally gave into my desires and started dressing. I can't begin to tell you how liberating it feels. It makes me feel complete and I can finally be my true self. When I am dressed and looking in the mirror, I see a pretty girl looking back at me.

[JenniferMBlack]

I think deep down there is a female trying to get out. Some us she isnt so deep and is out there. I just let her out now and like being her more then him now. I feel more complete and happy when i am her.

[Angela Marie]

Although i'm a male I have always had a strong feminine side. Growing up in the 60's in a large Italian American household you can imagine the reaction if I mentioned that. Over the years I wore certain items like tights and pantyhose but never fully dressed. I started fully dressing at about 50. I felt as if another part of me had been released. Now some 15 years later I still love to present myself as Angela. Each of us is different and have different reasons for dressing.

[Jenny22]

Jean Ann, to answer your question ..... Only the Shadow knows!

[Palaina Nocturnus]

Crossdressing is something that I've always done literally as far back as I can remember. I've had tons of conversations with my mom about it too lol she was uncomfortable at first until she realized it has never been about sexuality. 2, 3, 4 years old I've explained to her why she would find her clothes in odd places or missing altogether lol I was a child attracted to womens clothing more than men's.

Because we're from east L.A. it was something to laugh at but not take seriously unless you were teasing about it. Being gay or a sissy or feminine could get you killed where I'm from. Hence why I live in Phoenix lol

I used to be a typical aggressive homophobic male yet I'd wear the clothes of the girl I was dating when she was gone for the day. At this point it became sexual but only by myself privately.

I was homophobic yet I was proudly the most feminine guy in every group i was in. I always blame drug abuse as my inhibitor allowing me to explore not only me being a crossdresser and possibly transgender (i know some have an issue with this saying they're a CD not a TG but this is how i feel about me) but it helped me explore my sexuality.

It was only after this point that I started to question my sexuality. I've discovered I just love nice people and I'm willing to have sex with both genders. I consider myself as a bisexual crossdresser cuz yes I'm dating a female but I'm still attracted to males.

Moving forward to today, I still have a strong desire daily to be undressed at all times, my bra never leaves my body, but I'm not able to be dressed up where I'm living. At least I can still go out once a week en femme. But through all the years in my mind and heart crossdressing and sexuality are separate entities but they intertwine at times seeming to be a single desire.

[Veronica4me]

Unlike most men's clothing, women's clothing is tantalizing, pretty, sexy, comfortable, and irresistable. Of course, there are wigs, forms, jewelry, makeup, and shoes that make it so much nicer. Being en femme is also very natural for me, as I have been doing it in various forms forever, too.

[Carolyn_Essex]

I have a love hate relationship with being a Transvestite. I find it so frustrating that I can't be who I want to be. So some days I want to be a bloke but there are many times when I just want to be feminine. A mix of Social stigma and cowardice prevents me. But you just have to love the excitement of shopping for femme clothing.
