Where are you “coming from?”

[SIZE="2"]The world you describe is right outside my window, and this place is like an oasis in a vast, drab desert. I have to proceed with extreme caution whenever I leave the house...:sad:[/SIZE]

Then you get the not so nice times why you think why am I like this.

[SIZE="2"]I’m fortunate to have a certain amount of freedom – no conflict with family members or a spouse, and I work at home. This gives me plenty of time to “get to know” my crossdressing, so it has become a very commonplace occurrence. All of my questions about what I do, or why I do it, were answered when I mingled with other crossdressers on sites like this one, the end result being my complete ease with the situation. I know my “place,” so I carry on, seeking to preserve the good feelings I get when I dress – in other words, I can relax and enjoy it…

I[SIZE="2"] was going to add more smilies to the OP, but I reached my limit very quickly! Here's my favorite one: :thinking: [/SIZE]

[SIZE="2"]That’s a really good description – “unless my male self is expected somewhere.” When you’re a male by birth, the world always expects the male “self” to make an appearance. Crossdressing helps to turn that notion on it’s head, doesn’t it?[/SIZE]

[SIZE="2"]I'll tell you a secret, Deb - I intimidate myself on a regular basis. I really need to scale it back and indulge in some "girl" time... :doh:[/SIZE]
