I DO!:battingeyelashes:
When I began dressing I wanted real breasts and possibly a vagina. But, that was 22+ years ago. 12 years ago all desires and thots of that nature dropped away.
Now, I live happily and contentedly as a CD!:D
I'm happy as Robert until I'm Sherry. Then, I'm happy to be her. And, just as happy to remove all my fem trappings until the next time!:thumbsup:
Well I'm trans and wear clothes of the opposite gender everyday.
I'm 24/7 so I guess that fits your criteria.
I look more female than male I guess because I get called ma'am a lot.
I think thats because I wear some make up most days.
Going full time is what is often called a "social transition" and being transgender that is one of my possible futures.
I'll admit I grew the breasts, but did it for 5 years with no intention of going any further. That count?
I'm the same as Tracii G, well not all the same.
Well the thing is I also like some of my dude clothes. I don?t think I could do it full time IF I were able to without any Repercussions.
Would be fun thou a
As Roberta said social transition. Having recently come out to some co-workers I am in a holding pattern but slowly moving that way.
YES ,
I do , it's really no big deal.
I'm out, I live as Jean, It is that simple.
I live by my rules. They keep me sane or insane not sure which one it is.
But I do know my roommate is baking a cake ,yum Just live your life the way you want, be yourself. I don't know it works for me.
Its not that hard really IF you have no SO to worry about.
Just do things your way like Jean 103 said.
I guess a social transition is a good way to put it.
Tracii,
Yes I have socially transitioned. It is something I worked really hard at, if you look back at it.
You see I was on this quest to find myself. Along the way I made a lot of friends. I didn't know that this is what I was doing at the time. It is only now looking back that I see it.
That as my friends see me I'm :just Jean"
Yes I could. It's the clothes that appeal to me not any body changes. I enjoy my working life and my leisure time dressed.
Jean Ann,
Being TG I now do live full time . I've debated with myself and others about hormones and possible surgery , some think I should start on hormones . Personally I'm not convinced it would make much difference to my everyday life . As Roberta and others have said social transition is a very comfortable place to be , if I had 100% acceptance then I would be 100% happy .
I look at it this way, which way am I happier ? I can answer that without hesitation .
hello Jean Ann,
I think it would be nice to have that option.
Though many women cross-dress, for example the prefer to wear male type clothes for rugged country walks.
So I think my answer is yes it would be nice to cross dress in public when appropriate.
But I am not unhappy with just dressing in private.
luv J
Jean, In a word yes. However, my wife would not be happy with it.
I am not sure. If I were single I would probably experiment more. Since I'm married, probably not. Wifey would not be happy. Right now, I'm in a good place.
My workplace would not be good with it, and my wife would struggle with it too I think, altho she has asked me if that is what I would like. I am happy to be able to express both sides of myself when and where appropriate, but if I had the freedom from either possibly misguided self or societal prejudice, I would probably spend much more time as Lara. That is the place I am most happy.
NO!
That isn't the path I'm traveling.
I've done it for days at a time and it's fun while it lasts, but in the end I'm happy to revert to "guy" mode.
I?ve given this a lot of thought over the years, but in the final analysis, it just wouldn?t work. I have a totally supportive wife and I can dress whenever I want, but because of our very conservative, small town, my job, social contacts, etc. we agree, there would be no acceptance. So, I guess my answer is, as much as I?d like to...no.
If the social stigma of dressing was not present, I would live a blended life of dressing the way I do at home. I enjoy aspects of choosing clothing from both sides of the closet. Typically that is feminine under, and below the waist, and masculine on the top half. I would refer guy shoes for the most past.
My wife tolerates the occasional girl outing as long as she doesn't have to see it, but she would not tolerate it if she had to see it full time.Quote:

I'm fine underdressing to be honest, with the occasional "bit more" at home.
Agree with that 100%. There are times I'd like to incorporate clothing into everyday, or at least I'd like to think so. Hilariously, the one time I did leave the house in heels (halloween a few years back) I was done with them after walking about 2-3 blocks, and those were sensible Aerosoles. But when its 100 degrees outside, if I wouldn't get laughed out of town for it, think I'd prefer a skirt or even a sundress than dealing with the usual dad attire of thick heavy cargo shorts.Quote:

I enjoy being a man and all the benefits that come with that. Dressing is just something I do for fun.
Good on yer, Paulie!Quote:

If it would not hurt so many people and have such great social costs to me (and financial as it would lead to divorce) I would live full-time and consider transition. Nancy
Hi girls I have been dressing full time for4 years I just love it my wife husband loves being in charge and I just love being the female part of this relationship the first year was trial and error what if I told everybody and came out got easier I didn't have to worry about work I was retired now just feels right love peace Lynda
I go back and forth. I could never go fulltime female as I am still working and have family around. However, living by myself I pretty much dress as a woman and working getting more comfortable being as fully dressed, dress shopping, dining, movies, etc. The longest I have spent as fully female is a little over 4 days and I was sad to have to transition back at the end. To really find out I would like to spend 3-4 weeks fully as female to see if that is what I truly desire.
I don't remember a time I wasn't a crossdresser.Quote:

Yes, as I already do.
I'm not sure about it, the idea itself sounds like it would be a bullseye painted on my back.
For me, even with the boundaries that I respect, like workplace uniform, don't leave the house dressed, don't dress in front of the live in daughter and grandchildren, I am not sure that I could. Dressing at least for now is something special that I do for me. It provides a tremendous endorfan rush. I am afraid that, if was something that I did full time, it would become commonplace and lose its allure.
That is an easy no.
Presently that would be a no. but given a warning that I had to change, I think I could.
I don't think I can handle all the negative opinions from people. I would end up feeling very depressed. Best keep it in the closet for me
I could, if it's a question about clothes, etc. I like women's clothes and that would be enough for me. But I know, that stepping out of the closet would also change other aspects of my life and I'm not ready to do that just yet or probably never.
I was basically treated like a freak all through school years, because I looked different, had a big ugly birthmark on my face. I have absolutely no desire to re-live being treated like a freak again. Similar to what Pixie said, it would be like walking around with a 'Kick Me' sign on my back. No thanks. Others finally started to leave me alone once I grew big enough so they were wary of confronting me. Once again becoming 'the sissy' that every hot shot wants to prove he's tougher than, isn't high on my list of desirable positions.
Well, I could. I've adapted to lots of things; different jobs, poverty, girlfriends, living with others, living alone, School, dealing with difficult people etc.
The social aspect as others have pointed out would make it difficult. Coming out to some of my family members is a fear I've had and still have. There must be close to a thousand people in my area that know me as a male so going public wouldn't be a picnic.
If a woman can live full time as a woman then so can I.
I'm content with my current biological setup. If I ever found a genie my first wish would be to be a female.
I guess I do. I wear women's clothes full time. I don't try to pass anymore, but jeans and tops are my everyday wear. I don't consider myself as a MIAD. People know, but I have friends and am known in the area.
In a way yes. I?m trans and just came out to my wife and started HRT. In the next year or so I will come out to everyone. But, I?m not a CD as clothing for females would just be my clothing.
I think so...
I say that because I do have strong feelings that my path may be leading to something more permanent.
If I were alone in the world, I would love it. Unfortunately, family ties make it impossible.
In a fantasy world, maybe, but in reality, NO. In fact, my dressing is all really just acting out fantasy what it would be like iiiiiiif i were a lady.
Probably not, even if I did not have to consider family relationships, i.e., wife and family. It's not just the clothes. It's a mindset that arises and needs to be satisfied. There have been many times over the years when I had days of total freedom strung together. You'd think I would be en femme 24/7 for days on end. Nope. There was no motivation or need to be satisfied.
No, don't think so.
For me its about expressing both the masculine and the feminine aspects of my being.
After may years keeping her shut in, I am finding more balance by dressing and being Jessie Mae.
Both sides are important to me. But I would like to present as Jessie more often.
My life is not over yet. Let me get back to you.
I dress for fun and t no point to I identify as a woman. I go out dressed and then act as a woman but most of the people I interact with know me and know I am male. I spend all but about 30 hours a week in womenswear. I am happy with this. The rest of the time I wear male clothes and am perceived as a male and am happy with this. I do not wish to be defined by what I wear which is what would happen to me professionally if I wore dresses to work. It would be allowed but that is not the point. There is more to me than my wardrobe and it is the actual work I do that defines me professionally and I want to maintain that.
