Let's hear it for the normal people.

[Julie York]

Let's just get this into perspective.



Is there anyone here who....



Doesn't want to dress 24/7
Doesn't want to BE a woman.
Does it for FUN.
Gets a buzz out of it.
Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time.
Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it.



I just thought there might be a few more than me out there.:D

[Stephenie S]

Of course there are. Lots and lots of us just want to be guys with a feminine side. There are literally ALL kinds of CDers.

I don't fit your specs, but there are plenty who do. I am quite sure that I (as a 24/7 girl) am in the minority.

Lovies,
Stephenie

[charllote34]

Yep that pretty much covers it :D

[dl_pink_pink]

i fit in that category (of occasional) but I am far from normal

[Deborah Jane]

I dress up when i like just for fun..24/7?..i doubt i,d want too!!!

[Marla S]

Doesn't want to dress 24/7 I do, don't no if I want :D

Doesn't want to BE a woman.Don't want, don't try to look like one.

Does it for FUN.Fun-dressing ? rarely.

Gets a buzz out of it.Except for fear when going out, no particular buzz. It lightens up the mood though ... usually.

Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time.Didn't try for 1.5 years. But I guess it would be hard to stop.

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it.No nervous breakdown here.




I just thought there might be a few more than me out there.:D
I never said that I am normal like you :D:tongueout

[RachelB.]

While I'm sure my wife would argue the normal part this pretty much describes me.

I dont wanna dress 24/7
I dont wanna BE a WOMAN---(Not all the time N E ways)
YES it IS fun
YES, I get a BUZZ
YES take or leave it 2 or 3 weeks at a time
Not worrying about it---Once I deduced I was NOT Homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that) and once I discovered WHY I was doing it, I was never concerned since.

[Sally2005]

I think 24/7 would wear off pretty quickly. I am a man and I like to dress up as a woman sometimes, I call that crossdressing. If I don't do it, the urge builds and I need to release it. I don't understand why or where it comes from, I hid and felt guilty about it for decades, but now I understand it is a part of me. It is fun also.

Hello Julie!
I am just as you say with only mild exceptions. There is not a day or so that goes by that I don't think about dressing. I don't get the nervous breakdown and bite my nails if I don't, but I do think about dressing more then you do. I definately do it more then "weeks at a time". I also love to go out to a bar that accepts transgendered people and strut my stuff so to speak! That is part of the buzz and fun.

[Jilmac]

normal? who said normal? i think i fit that description pretty well, but i sure wouldn't call myself normal.----------Jill

[Wendy me]

i am as normal as i get..........

[prettieboy]

you described me to a t. [not a trans]

[Melinda G]

Hey! I like being a guy. I dress up to entertain myself. Would not want to be a woman. Men are pigs! :D

[MJ]

Yeah that's me... all except... I'm on my 19th nervous breakdown. :D

what :eek: only 19 ...wow you must be new at this :heehee:

More Girl than man sometimes

[cindybarnes]

Ok so my wife says Im normal but it begins with aby,,,, aby-normal :)
Im really there with ya Julie now but there was a time if I didnt get out or have plans to, I was depressed.
Maybe its age or just finally becoming comfortable with myself but Im ok with dressing when I feel like it,, just for me ?
Its funny tho, i can go months without fully dressing but I check this site and a couple others most every day so does that make my wife right about me being aby-normal ? I hope not ! It pisses me off when she is right *S*

Cindy

[Stefanie_in_Mt]

I don't really want to be a woman, BUT I do want to pass as one 24/7 hee hee

[RobertaFermina]

Doesn't want to dress 24/7 Yep!

Doesn't want to BE a woman. Yep!

Does it for FUN. Yep!

Gets a buzz out of it. Yep!

Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time. Almost!

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it. Yep!


I still don't consider myself "NORMAL" because of my temperament towards CrossDressing.

The NORM in this culture is "Doesn't CrossDress".

I feel HUMAN, though !

:rose: Roberta :rose:

[VTDresser]

Well, I don't dress 24/7

I do enjoy looking good, whether it is in women's or men's clothes.

I have figured out that I can look good (to myself) in either but I try to pass as gender neutral. There are some women's clothes that I can wear that anyone (except the trained eye) would not question as "male" clothes.

Maybe I am in the closet, maybe I am hoping for the "connotation" of female fabrics to encompass a male's style.

I wonder how many would be able to be free enough to wear a pair of rear zip pants, silk top, and 2 inch heels as a male without wearing a wig and breast prothesis?

Do I think that a man could look good in such an outfit? I do...and someday, it will happen.

[Kate Simmons]

Works for me Julie and you know how fussy I am.:heehee:

[Niya W]

Who wants to be normal. Normal is merely a set of mores that society agrees upon at a certain time.

For me its not about being normal its about being me. No labels, no worrying about conforming, just being me and enjoying life

[KathrynTX]

Normal? What's normal? :p :D

My previous car had a hologram sticker on it that read,

Normal People Worry Me.

[stefcd1]

Here are my answers:

Doesn't want to dress 24/7 - I would love to live totally as a woman for like a month or 2 to see if I really wanted to dress 24/7. I think I do but having to wear a bra all day every day, well.....

Doesn't want to BE a woman. - No, don't want to be a woman

Does it for FUN. - it is a blast!! how can it not be fun

Gets a buzz out of it. - see answer above

Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time. - not sue I can leave it for weeks on end. If I can't be in female clothing for a few days, I really miss it!!

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it. - would never have a nervous over anything

I think this describes me. Except "Buzz" is WAY TOO TAME a word for what I get out of CDing. I get a buzz from a glass of wine, I get way higher from dressing.
And I have no idea what normal is, but I'm pretty sure it's not me!

Julie,

I don't want to dress up 24/7
I do want to be a woman.
I do dress up for fun
I do get a buzz out of it.
I can certainly take it or leave it for weeks at a time.
I never have a nervous breakdown over it.

I guess I don't fit the bill of a normal people.

And just to be a thorn in your side, I have to ask, does this mean that if you are transgendered you are not "normal?"
Food for thought you sexy thing!

:hugs: and :love:'s,
Kris

[nikki_t]

Nah I was just kidding MJ - I like the Rolling Stones!! :D

Except I would like to be able to dress more often.

I also would like to be able to go out dressed but have not worked myself up to it again after my first outing.

Hmm i guess i can answer that question my saying this. If men are from mars and women are from Venus are TG's the only people from earth ??s


Oh admit i'm slightly twisted at times. What is scary is I am the normal one at work

[trannie T]

Me? I'm perfectly normal. Sort of. Kinda. Pretty much. Well, maybe a bit strange. OK, so I'm deranged.

[Staci]

I am just like you Julie. So yes there are many like us. I don't want to be a woman. Being a man that can choose to be a woman when I want to is the best freedom in the world. I can be very feminine or just be me. I can spend time on make-up or just be me. I can wear the sexiest little skirt, blouse, and boots, or just be me. I love it.

[Kris]

Okay does that mean the TG people are "normal" or is normal something that Julie thinks it is?

Just a thought.........

[krisla]

Normal is relative, I am normal for myself and abnormal to those not like me. Depending on the day I can say yes or no to each question. I just love being able to be Kris when I feel the mood

Krisla

[Francine]

Yes, most the comments.. just about covers it.

Francine

[Kaylene]

Yep that pretty much covers it :D

[sterling12]

Okay Julie, we get your drift. Yes, it has been a bit somber around here lately. Yes, a lot of angst and sad stories.

But remember please, that a lot of these folks have real problems and they turn to this forum because they are looking for any kind of help they can find. It would be grand if we all could be glib and give cleaver smarmy answers all the time, but that's not the only reason for being here. And yes, I've indulged in it too, so I can't claim to be an Angel either! That's not the point.

It's true that we need a reasonable sprinkling of cheerful stories but that's just one of many things that this forum provides. It would be nice with the Holidays coming on to have more "fun stuff." But, if somebody is hurting, who are we to deny them the right to come on here and "vent," just because they don't have something cleaver or funny to say.

Peace and Love, Joanie

[Paula Wilder]

I'd only be normal if my name were Norman Allen! Tee hee! Honestly, I'm not sure anyone is normal, in the straight statistical sense - so many variations. I would, however, answer yes to all your questions, if I were single, with no kids, worked a job that was OK with it, etc. Too much at stake now to wish for stuff like that, I think. Old Japanese saying goes: "if wishes were fishes we'd all cast a line"! I wish!

What you should ask yourself from the dizzy altitude of your high horse, is why an intelligent man, who likes to prance about in frocks occasionally, would use the word 'normal'..... other than as a tongue-in-cheek self mockery?

Yes there are people with problems. But I was getting to feel like a minority group..... and look......there's loads of us.:D

[Nicki B]

Chill, sisters..

I know where you're coming from, Julie, 'cept my need to dress has probably settled down to a higher frequency than you? I get loads of fun and a buzz out of it, but it's really about just being free to be myself, whole and unrestricted?

And I don't often do nervous breakdowns.. :)



As for normal - I read it that Julie meant 'normal for CDs'? And there are lots of people out there who so often don't think they have anything worth posting? :)

[NATASHA BOND GIRL]

would love to dress 24/7 and be a woman for real would also love it if science
made a break through and i could have a kid

[marie354]

Since I'm living as a woman now, I feel more normal than I ever have.

[Mia001]

Hi,

Has anyone made the "Abby normal" joke yet? I seem to firt those criterea pretty well. My answers are below:

Don't want to dress 24/7

No, just sometimes when I feel like it.


Doesn't want to be a woman.

No, just like dressing up like one sometimes.


Does it for fun.

Absolutely. There would be no point otherwise.


Gets a buzz out of it.

Yes. I think the 2 questions above answer that one.


Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time.

Totally accurate for me. Sometimes I don't bother for ages. Makes it more fun when I do dress up.


Isn't having a nervouse breakdown over it.

It's relaxing and fun so no nervouse breakdowns. It actually helps if other stuff is stressing me.

That's me done.

Take care,

Mark.

Absolutely. There would be no point otherwise.

[LindaTS]

Be a woman 24/7? Oh yeah, that's me. And I thought I was normal. LOL

[CamillaCD]

That's me in a nutshell too, Julie!

[Deanna2]

I'm afraid that I would find that being called normal to be an insult. Anyway, define normal.

As far as attitudes are concerned, I'm just a bloke who loves wearing femme gear - particularly mini skirts.

[Cassy11]

If there is such a thing as normal for CD'ing, Julie your list of 6 sort of sums it up for me anyway. The urge comes and goes and does not dominate my life.

[Denise Barrett]

Doesn't want to dress 24/7
Not me. I would 24/7 if I could. But, alas, I must work in drab.

Doesn't want to BE a woman.
In a heartbeat, if it would make my life less complicated. But I would still love women.

Does it for FUN.
Yes, but only becausing I'm having fun being me.

Gets a buzz out of it.
Only when I go out, which is rare. But that's going to have to change.

Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time.
Not anymore; don't want to. Tried that for 34 years with no success. Nothing wrong with being myself all the time.

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it
No. You can't sweat the small stuff you can't change. Work on the one's you can change, but don't worry about if you can't.

I tried for over 30 years to become normal until I found on that being normal is being myself; who I am. When I try to be society's idea of normal, that is when I'm not.

Love you all.:hugs:

Does it for FUN. - fantastic fun

Gets a buzz out of it. - a great high when out and about

Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time. - i find anything over a week becomes very difficult and impacts my mood

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it. - I've now accepted myself and confident in public. I'm pretty absorbed in CDing but it has saved me from lots of stresses.

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it.
never had and I cant understand why folks have to analyze why they are like they are, i consider it a blessing and would not trade it for the world:love:

[Suzie S.]

I'm normal to me, that's all that counts! :heehee:

Would I like to dress 24/7? I've never done it, but can't say I'm not curious.

Do I want to be a woman? Nah!

Do it for fun? It's IS fun, but I also feel that I need to do it.

Get a buzz? Yep!

Leave it for weeks? No way!

Nervous breakdown...never had one yet! :p

[Chris100]

My try at answering:- .....................................

Doesn't want to dress 24/7 I guess that would be me!

Doesn't want to BE a woman. Definitely me - I mean that I don't wish to actually be a woman - I just admire their clothing!

Does it for FUN. Yep. But I haven't really had a proper chance to fully try it, yet..

Gets a buzz out of it. Certainly do!

Can take it or leave it for weeks at a time. I would like to do it much more often, but unfortunately, seldom have had the opportunity to really go for it!

Isn't having a nervous breakdown over it. No thanks, I enjoy it too much!

Chris :jumping:

[Veronica E. Scott]

Seems as though I agree.
What is your next question ?
Mine is what is normal?

[newtothelife]

That's me !!! I do it for my personal enjoyment. The desire comes and goes, and if I go for weeks at a time without dressing it's ok too. I must admit I have started wearing my femm panties more often of late though.

[morgan51]

meeeee toooo I don't wish to derss 24/7 at this time do enjoy it when I can never had a nervous breaknown at least not over cding. would like to find normal? I think the more I get comfortable with my cd desires the more normal I become. It is ok to be myself. :happy: Morgan

[faltenrock]

Do I want to be a woman - no.

Would I enjoy dressing 24/7, all the time - no.

Other than that, I agree.
