This is an interesting point for me. I have no feminine side. Some might argue that because I like to dress there must be a feminine side to me but to me they are just clothes. This is something I had to say over and over to my wife to convince her that there was nothing more to it. I know who I am and what I want out of dressing.
My behaviour is objectively no different from when I'm in male mode. My wife says that I'm "nicer" when dressed - I'm impatient and somewhat short tempered normally. I don't feel feminine when I dress, have no fem name and no illusions that, although I do try my best, I'm nothing more than a MIAD.
Dressing for me is a relief - and I do like how the clothes, shoes, forms, wigs, makeup etc. make me look - but that's all it is for me. A love of the clothes and a calmed mind.
