Interesting questions and musings.

Well, I have been able to dress more lately. Usually after a few days or outings the urge simmers down. Lately the more I dress the more Intense the feeling or desire to present feminine. I do not "pass" but don't really care. I have been heading out in skinny jeans or high waisted workout leggings with cute flip flops or sandals. Sometimes a flowy long sleeved shirt or fitted shirt or tank top. I used to be unsure about showing breast bumps in public but recently feel really good about it. My interactions have been mostly at chain restaurants with a bar area, or shopping at Target/ Walmart.
Does anyone else have any insight or similar feelings?
Thank you for being a great community!

Lately since "the acceptance" I've been coming home after work and taking off all my male clothes and putting on what I like best: my lovely lacey red flutter panties with a two tiered flouncy skirt and a lovely black silk tank top. my wife responds very sweetly to me, complimenting me on what i wear and marveling at the gender fluidity.

For me everything gets "normal".... the constant urge to crossdress fades and is replaced with a very warm, glowy feeling of peace and contentment. There's an interesting feeling that surges through me of being alive, and aware. the feeling of the feminine clothing is very lovely. My wife says when I dress like this I don't lose my masculinity in the slightest, but become what she calls "gender fluid" where she sees the feminine expression of the clothing. We've talked about this and she doesn't see me as a man in a dress, but a masculine feminine combination that she finds quite attractive.

I like how normal it feels to be like this. Nice lacy undies, a feminine skirt and top. No stockings, bra wig or makeup.

It feels wonderful.

The only time I feel comfortable with breast bumps (or DD triangle forms) is when I'm wearing a coat which does a pretty good job of concealing them to the casual observer. I suspect if someone looked hard and concentrated on my chest, they would at least wonder if I have man boobs or what might those bumps be. But, to go out in the summer with a bra and boobs - no matter how small - I couldn't do it. I applaud you if you're comfortable doing it.

If that is what fits who you are, then do it. I think it is fine. Others may not. Here in Denver you would fit right in. In other places you might not. So, IMHO, whether it is OK or not depends to a large degree on where you live and the local attitudes and how willing you are to break with general expectations if those expectations are more "traditional." However, if you have been doing it occasionally and there haven't been any bad reactions then keep doing it.

I wear gold hoop earrings 24/7 and lately, women's shorts and Tees more often than not. But I only wear forms when presenting fully female.

Thanks for posting Jenn. I had recently posted elsewhere about presenting my 42B's in public while in man mode. I went to do my grocery shopping the other day and for reasons that I cannot explain, I decided I was going to wear my bra and under bust shaper. Way out of my comfort zone. The girls projected through my t-shirt quite nicely as the "Wisconsin" in the middle of my chest had a valley in the center. I did not have any negative comments or interactions, however my check out girl had quite the smile on her face.

I have worn leggings, a feminine but loose fitting top, with forms (and ok just a bit of makeup) sometimes when I do my volunteer food delivery job. I love the feeling of just being out doing something normal dressed as I like (well actually I would like even better to go all out but not ready for that). It feels pretty safe as it?s just very quick interactions with the clients.

I used to go out with a lace top and 44D breast forms under my motorcycle jacket. The jacket is super heavy and conceals the breastforms well. But now I prefer to put on makeup and go out as female.

I haven't worn mens clothes, except for t-shirts if that counts, in 5 years. Always in skirts, sometimes dresses. There is no better article of clothing in Georgia summer than a sun dress. I don't own a single pair of mens shoes. Most times you'll find me in strappy wedges. But I have a collection of shoes that runs the spectrum. As mentioned above. my "urge" to crossdress has faded. I too, do not pass, or even try to. I wear eye shadow and mascara every day, but it's kind of subdued. I am just me, wearing what I want to wear. I rarely wear forms. I am a dude in a dress I suppose. Nobody bats an eye, at my local beer serving establishment, the grocery store, or even that small run in with the police. :eek:

I'm proud of you for being you. Once we actually accept ourselves the rest of the world does too. Good luck!!!! :love:

I don't underdress or partial dress anymore.
The thrill of that has dissipated and I only present fully as a woman in public. I just want to blend in and be accepted.

I routinely go out to Target, Ross, TJ Maxx, and Food lion shopping.
I try to look my best... makeup and lipstick

I shop like anyone else would buying the things we need. I usually exchange
conversation with people ringing up my sale. I've never had an issue.

It feel great to just be myself. I wear women's shorts ,jeans, dresses, skirt and
women's tops and shoes.
