CD Challenge

[Chari]

We are all at different levels learning and practicing new skills in the art of CDing. What has been or is your toughest CD challenge - makeup, buying fem clothes, voice, walking in high heels, body shape? Mine was telling my SO about my CD needs. Thankfully she has accepted it.:happy:

Hugs2U, Chari

Mine is getting my wife to let me go out in public more.
I can dress all I want but she doesn't like for me to go out.:sad:

[Melora]

Makeup and passing for SURE!!

[suzanne]

How about 6'2" and 275lb?

[Sharon B.]

How about 6'2" and 275lb?



I'm with Suzanne I'm 6'4 & 262lbs but I think the worse thing that gives me away is my deep voice even tho I enjoy wearing dresses at knee level or below and heels.
Anymore there is a lot of tall women around but having such a deep voice makes impossible to go and enjoy myself as awoman.

[Jessica Z. Reese]

fortunately im only 6' and 198lbs but my voice is my biggest challenge
:(

[Carly D.]

Mine would be make up, passing, talking like a girl.. the only thing I seem to have no problem with is wearing pantyhose and high heels..

[Butterfly Bill]

Finding shoes that fit.

(size 12)

[Ðarissa]

Going outside enfemme. I haven't done so yet and have a lot to learn before I do... if I can make it that far.

*trips and rolls back into closet* :heehee:

[Mitch23]

'the talk' is the hardest thing by a mile - painful then and still painful now from time to time as it still goes on.

first time out en femme was terrifying but nothing like as terrifying as telling the wife

mitch

[MonikaW]

Flying en femme. I was very nervous about doing it. In the end it was very easy, and I had no problems.

[tommi]

Shape 6'2" and 215lbs ,20 years ago when I was fitting the urge instead of accepting I only weighed 145lbs.
I see an awful lot of tall skinny girls around where I live it would have beeen so much easier.:(

[Melissa Anne]

My biggest challenge was also telling my wife. Fortunately, she has been great and is very accepting. I'm lucky to have her. Second would be keeping the 5 o'clock shadow at bay or putting on my nails straight while not sticking my fingers together with nail glue! I hate that!

Mine now is trying not to use my male voice.
I've pretty much got the fem voice down, but I slip up once in a while and use that other (deep male) voice once in a while.
One day...

My biggest challenge now is doing my makeup and fixing my wig. Before my dear wife passed away, she always did that for me. We often went out as two girls. Now that she is gone, I go out enfemme, but as a man in female clothing. Haven't gone out in a dress that way, but have gone shopping in both a skort and a skirt!:happy:

Sissy/Stephanie

Girl most of the time, but man underneath!

[Kate Simmons]

My biggest challenge is myself. I'm my own worse critic. Once I get past that, I'm usually good to go.:happy:

[Samantha43]

Passing.....I still haven't mastered that challenge.

[Mistybtm]

Same for me Makeup and passing for SURE:o

[Deborah Jane]

Passing, voice and self confidence to go out!!

[charllote34]

Be yourself , dont pretend to be something your not!!

[Kimberly Marie Kelly]

Like others 6'1" 265 lbs and building confidence to go out in daylight full femme.

[katieblush]

What has been or is your toughest CD challenge?

{BEEN} Stepping over the line and saying if you do not like who i am then like bye-bye.{IS}It would be nice not to feel selfish about crossdressing.

[docrobbysherry]

My biggest challenge is myself. I'm my own worse critic. Once I get past that, I'm usually good to go.:happy:

After reading the posts above, I realize I am quite lucky. My physic can be feminized very easily. Also, I have nearly invisible arm and leg hair.
For years I was VERY unsatisfied with my face, tho! Makeup made me look even worse!
I finally came up with my special faces. I am now so happy with my appearance, I've become a unbearable showoff!

[Cassy11]

Voice, and the nerve to walk out the front door!

[Nicole Erin]

Well right now my biggest problem is not wanting to admit I have put on a few pounds since the last time I serioulsy CD'ed. I am getting back into it but my old outfits are a little tighter.

[marika_jaye]

Until a week or two ago, it was going out in public. That has all changed in the past couple weeks and I've been having a great time CDing in public.

Just tonight I was back at Walgreens buying chocolate bars and nail polish, wearing a skirt and leather boots. The cashier was flirting with me like crazy -- she couldn't take her eyes off me, which was good because I couldn't get mine off her either (curvy girls in miniskirts have that effect on me). :)

Now if I can just get my wife more comfortable about going out with me...but she's making progress!

[LaurenS.]

The challenge of trying to live with such a self indulgent activity.
Sometimes it just gets to be too much. It's one thing to say "I'm just going to live my life and be who I am". It's quite another to actually do it.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

Big feet:mad:, Big Shoulders,:mad: Big Arms,:mad: Big Legs, :mad:

[jennifer41356]

mine is having to wear a wig:sad:, I wish I had a fuller head of hair:mad:

[Carissa T]

Makeup for sure. Every once in a while it all comes together, but never with any consistency. I make it out and about quite a bit, but my make up skills or lack there of really affects my confidence.

[Hali]

Everything about CDing is challenging to me cos it looks as if CDing is a conflict in the "real world" due to the following reasons.

-I want breasts but naturally i dont have them if i want to get them i have to take hormones and i can loose my FERTILITY.

-The society is unforgiving on FEMININITY in men and am a man that want to be allowed to be female ones in a while.

-and sometimes i'll be having these thots: What is it in beign a woman any ways? What drives me to want to be feminine........ i dont know i want to be myself without CDing.................


i can go on and on...........

[Secret Sis]

My biggest challenge right now is trying to find the courage and the right time to tell my wife about me... Soon, I hope..........

[Marvina Martian]

It's the voice for me. I'm learning, slowly. I just need someone to talk to so I can practice more! ;)

[RobertaFermina]

Three top challenges off the top of my head,

Genteel Manners (eating with mouth closed, restraining vapors, etc.), my daughter's corrosive attitude about my CD'ing, and voice.

:rose: Roberta :rose:

[Dawn Marie]

Mine was finally telling my wife of ten years, but she is still not accepting, even thou she knew before we got married. I still have the challenge of trying to get her to accept the fact that Dawn is part of me and will always be.
