If looks were everything to me, then I'd be a rather unhappy person, cause the simple fact is that I'm not attractive. I dress as an expression of myself, the person inside. Sure, I want my clothes to reflect that person. Am I CD or TS? I use the broader term TG, because I see CDing as a behavior under that spectrum, but I am probably a bit to the TS end of the spectrum.
For myself the clothes are mostly a vehicle for expression, especially if they look nice. The important part to me is being in touch with who I am and my feelings.:battingeyelashes::)
clothes to me are just the fun part...it goes a bit deeper than just clothes....but not too deep cause it is all in good fun. Again with the labels? You will never put a finger on us as a group...we are all unique .
For me it's so much more than just the clothes. It's the whole fantasy experience. I do my nails, and I perfer feminine hair styles. I am currently dressed in a very frilly outfit and am wearing strippy high heel shoes. My makekup looks so nice and I have lovely perfume to highten the experience. Sometimes I feel that I would love to stay this way. It feels so right, yet it kind of scares me that I love being this way.
The clothes are a part of my feminine expression. Equal to any other expression. I sometimes simply do not get the obsession like manner which I read on here about clothes. I am not knocking it, I just do not feel it. I read sometimes when a member will say they have 50 bras.... or any other large number of clothing items. I wonder why... I have never known a GG with that many, not that I am sure there are some who are out there, but I would imagine a large majority do not have that great a number of a particular clothing item.
Besides dressing, I would say my other physical form of feminine expression is shaving. I can't honestly answer which one I would give up 1st.
If you are transgendered, it is more about what is in your head and what is between your legs.
If you are a cross-dresser it is about outward appearance.
That is my humble opinion Sherry.
I think you would think likewise.
they define who we really are
I used to identify as CD, but recently realized I'm TS. With that realization, ironically, "the clothes" became less important. Right now, I still need to wear dresses and skirts to present as a woman because my body is not particularly feminine. However, as I transition I think I'll be more comfortable in pants. The whole point is for other people to see me as a woman rather than a man.
That said, I do love dresses and skirts and will probably continue to wear them more often than the average GG. :)
because they make me experience a part of myself, which i otherwise cannot.
Clothes aren't really that Important to me or to a certain extent they aren't. They are so that I can express myself as my femme persona but beyond that, they are just something that is a way to express myself. There are other things that are more important than clothes to express myself as Kaylee Ann, such as my confidence in myself as her.
Were I wearing the robe of a monk I would still feel as I do. The clothing allows me to express that feeling to the world in a way that it understands my feelings too.
