Strong and Powerful

[CynthiaD]

I start work at noon on Thursdays, so naturally I?m spending the morning en femme. As I stood in front of the mirror adjusting my dress, I started thinking about how strong and powerful I felt and I realized that crossdressing has always made me feel this way. When I?m wearing a dress, I feel like I could move mountains, leap tall buildings at a single bound, and all that stuff.

Do any of you share these feelings? Let me know if you do. If you don?t, then what do you feel?

[Michaela Jane]

I dunno about leaping tall buildings. LOL But I do know that I just feel "right".

[Natalie5004]

Sometimes I wonder what the heck am I doing this for?

[JocelynJames]

I?m with you, Natalie. This is the other why. Not the ?why do you do it? from SO and others. The ?why am I doing this? and ?what?s the purpose, my endgame ?? With this . I kind of feel like it?s my personal ?why are we here??.

Of course, Cynthia! Why else would u have seen me here presenting as Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Rey, and countless other strong women?:devil:

[Kris Burton]

If strong and powerful is indicated by one's psychological health and well being, then yes.

[Fiona_44]

Don't feel like I have superpowers, I just feel like a woman.

[Tiffany8]

Yes I know what you mean. I feel that way too. But at the same time I also feel as fragile as a well played game of JENGA

[Heather76]

Before I read any responses, I was thinking I just feel right. I guess I feel much the same as Michaela. I don't feel like a woman. I don't feel sexy ('cause I'm not). I just feel as though I'm enjoying life as I should.

[Keremy]

Nicely put Heather I agree 100 percent.

Certainly not that. When dressed but alone, my feeling is simple satisfaction with my life. When I am out in public there is, even after more than a decade, still an initial bit of stage fright coupled with a touch of nervousness (maybe paranoia) despite the fact that I have never had a genuinely unpleasant or even remotely threatening experience.

There may be a bit of feelings of power that comes from owning our gender presentation (no one can tell us how to dress)
