There's no more room left in my closet, so I'm mostly out! Seriously, though, I've been gradually integrating my wardrobe for long enough now that no one seems surprised at how I dress. I wear what...

It's always necessary to adjust our steps to the terrain we're walking on, regardless of the footwear we have on, in order to maintain balance, stability and remain upright.
In my younger years I...

Before agreeing, I'd have to think about it first.....for one nanosecond!

My SO is not a member or regular visitor here (as far as I know!), however I have on several occasions quoted or read aloud passages to her from relevant posts. A brief, sometimes lively, discussion...

For me, crossdressing has been an exciting, pleasant experience that I have enjoyed exploring and participating in for the past several years. I've learned a lot and done a lot!
Like many other...

Good for you, DeeDee!
Like you, I've found being my authentic self these past few years to be liberating, affirming and healthful, and the way I dress now is a visible reminder to myself and others...

I once replied to a curious, inquiring friend who had seen me (from a distance) dressed out in my yard, before my "hobby" was common knowledge around here: "Oh, that must have been my younger sister,...

Tricia, I think that if your friend had positively ID'd you, he would have said so, or at least something like "I saw you pumping gas in (sometown)". The fact that he's asking in this way tells me...

This thread brings back such fond memories from my much-younger days, when I was the proud owner of a popular type of British sportscar.
How I loved tooling around in that little two-seater,...

Getting honest, expert feedback is, IMHO, the best way to improve your game, and that is exactly what I have come to value and appreciate most, both here and in my actual life, especially when it...

Yes, Suzanne, the operative word here is "presentable", and even though it means different things to different people, I think it's important to establish standards of appearance for our individual...

Adopting the term "fashion liberated" to describe my sartorial preferences gives me a lot of latitude in my choices of clothing, is a lot more fun and a lot easier to sell. It allows me to mix and...

Robin: you took the words right out of my mouth!
While my SO is fairly tolerant of my dressing in my usual hybrid mode, even going so far as to say she thinks I look "cute", I know she has no...

No, I don't think etiquettes should be barred, ever.
They've suffered enough already and deserve the same fair and equal treatment as everyone else!

I know this may be off-topic, but my understanding of gaslighting is when someone covertly plays subtle mind games with another in an attempt to manipulate that person's sense of their own self and...

This is such an unfortunate situation especially after so many years of supposed tolerance, but my guess is that you may have passed a tipping point in your activity, and regaining a balance - and...

It might be wise to have some kind of identifier (other than your driver's license, credit card or other official ID) tucked inside the purse so that if it is misplaced the finder can locate its...

I'm someone who's relatively new to CDing, but browsing threads like this one do bring to mind episodes in my distant past when I was unwittingly introduced - and attracted - to the sensory joys of...

Whenever I go browsing the aisles of the women's section, I try to appear focused and serious about what I'm doing, and avoid giving off signals that I'm doing something sneaky or unusual, or that...

Apprehensive as one may be about surrendering one's privacy, particularly when it concerns their "non-conforming" dressing habits, there's probably little need for worry when residing in an assisted...

Mirrors and still photos can give us discouraging feedback for sure, especially when reality differs significantly from our expectations, however they are unlikely, in this CD's opinion, to cure or...

Hi Pumped,
Your closing statement brings to mind:
"What were once vices are now habits"
The Doobie Brothers, 1974.
How things have, and continue to change.

With tomorrow being "Fat Tuesday", the seasonal start of the Mardi Grad festival, I'm wondering whether any of you girls will be taking advantage of this annual opportunity to take your dressing to...

Like many here, I've let my facial hair grow on and off over the years, including a period of 20 years with a mustache. I took it off for good more than 25 years ago and soon began to wonder why I...

Sounds to me like a perfect opportunity to really shake things up, but in a good way. Talk about blending! I'd say jump right in and enjoy yourself!
