Are you too emotional???

I am not emotional at all.
That does not make Suzy less feminine, it just makes her a b***h!

Being as my first memories revolve around my feelings that I should have been a girl I don't remember a time when I wasn't somewhat more sensitive and emmotional than perhaps other boys my age. But this drove me underground to at the age of five and before I was really exposed to anyone outside of my family.

Q1. Were you considered a sissy or were you teased because you emoted too much as a child?

Far from it...In fact I "Overcompensated" my entire life and was considered by friends and my family to more than just a little bit of a daredevil. It was even said that I had a death wish as many of the activities I pursued even as a child were foolhearty at best and dangerous as well. If I felt anyone was growing suspicious of my Feminine side...I would go and pull off some stunt which included things like jumping of the highest cliff into the lake where we use to swim...or skateboarding down the steepest hills around....Once when I was thirteen....I climbed to the top of a 200ft tall Radio Tower just because someone made a comment that it looked like I had been wearing make up...truth is I had been...after that no one in my little group of friends dared question my masculinity
Q2. Do you think it contributes to your cding? Contributes no...It has taken me a long time to realize and accept that it's not wrong to feel empathetic towards others...its not wrong to express emmotions...in fact its part of what makes me enjoy my gender expression all the more.

Well I can see alot of you are sensitive, but I guess I'm asking if you(reflection time) crossdress because women are allowed to show emotions and guys are not. In male mode we tend to be stern, whereas in femme mode we can "let our hair down" or just be someone without emotional walls. I did notice that a few of you would let loose with the feelings while dressed, so do you find it easier to express your feelings while en femme? Is crossdressing the avenue you take for emotional expression? Can you emote the same in guy mode and in girl mode?

I was also one of those boys who was considered sensitive and for a number of years it wasn't hard to get me to cry - especially since I cried when I got mad as well as when I was sad or hurt. I learned to control this better but was still for many many years prone to losing my temper, I mean really losing it. That faded when I figured out that this was primarily anger at having lost my father when I was about 8 years old. I also told myself that I wasn't "emotional" I was just "passionate." I have few close friends but those friendships are fiercely held on to in both a macho emotional well but also in a more feminine warm manner. Part of my exploration in dressing is getting to know that feminine me better and perhaps integrating her more into my more public 'me'.

I am very emotional. When I get upset, I cry a lot.

Cry more than a male should according to society, will find myself crying or the very least tears whenever I watch an emotionally movie or show.
Had a nick name growing up cry baby, if they only knew what I really enjoyed doing may have been called sissy instead.

I was and still am very emotional and "senstitive", I was never considered a sissy as a child but I did get several " beatings" as a child by bullies throughout school during my younger years. I do not think it contributed to this side of me, because this side has always existed and if anything is a little less sensitive than my male side.
