I seem to have gotten something backwards!
I tend to do chores that might get messy, in drab.
I don't want to mess up my nicer things.

Louise, I'll try to answer your questions - from my point of view.
I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses, and all from differing perspectives.
So, is crossdressing a daily thing for you or...
Don't be too surprised if your neighbors tell your wife that you're "having some woman" come over when she's gone. :heehee:
I'd like to add one thing.
Since you're going to a drag show, I'd expect that the cast AND the patrons will be more on the lookout for someone dressed.
The odds are fairly good that he'll be...
I've struggled my whole life to answer the question of "Who am I - really?" and it always seems that the deeper I dig, the less I find.
My gender dysphoria issues only complicated things. I know I...
I honestly don't know if I would have have found any support or compassion from my family as a kid. I was too deeply terrified of being found out and very careful not to get caught.
Much later in...
Me.
I've always known that I was supposed to have been born a girl, but wasn't.
It's been a struggle for my whole life - trying to "fit in and be normal" while battling the dysphoria.
I...
It'll never happen in my life, but I feel that it would be the ultimate expression of love and acceptance from an SO, if she wanted to marry the feminine half of her partner too.
Well Di, my (semi)joking response would be "I crossdress because the world expects me to look like a man."
In all seriousness, I dress as feminine as "house rules" allow because it helps keep the...
When it comes to your original question: I think it depends a lot on just what it is that you get from dressing in the first place.
If it's a need to "feel like a woman" then you can try doing...
I guess I'd have to say "purpose."
I began this whole journey very young, because I felt "right" in feminine garb. My purpose is trying to look like I feel inside.
Sure, there was a certain...
One pesky chromosome.
The feeling I get when I get the look right?
In all seriousness, It just feels "right" when I'm dressed feminine.
It's hard to explain, but it's true.
Ok - I've got to ask...
If you were so afraid of being caught when you had to use the bathroom, why didn't you just throw on your man clothes?
It seems like a simple enough solution.
I'd love to throw the door to my closet wide open and bravely step out into the world, but my closet has three guards at the door. They are my fear, my body, and my wife.
Guard #1 (fear) wants to...
FWIW,
I was terribly skinny as a kid. I dressed.
Sadly, I'm not skinny anymore. I still dress.
It's nothing to do with weight - for me, at least.
2023 had what's likely to be my LAST outing, at least for the foreseeable future.
I had the opportunity to take a road trip out of state and drove both directions (including rest stops and gas) in...
I'm not going to get into the debate of whether or not counselling is a good idea.
I will try to answer your request and give you a couple suggestions of how to get the best results. (These are from...
THIS!
I could have written this, it's so true for me too.
I don't think that there has ever been a day where I didn't feel like I should have been born female, but I'm painfully aware that I...
In public?
um, let's see,
in the last 20+ years,
I'd say twice.
And those were a violation of the agreement I made with my wife when we married - to never go out in public "looking like...
Here are a few more thoughts on guilt:
Doing something that you've been told (most of your life) is a bad thing, can make you feel guilty.
Preferring time dressed up and sacrificing time with...
I.
Was.
Crushed.
I beat a hasty retreat, called myself all kinds of bad things, and swore to never do it again.
Obviously that didn't last.
I'm with Char and Di.
If I've taken the effort to dress and go out, I want to be perceived as (and treated like) a woman.
Someone coming up to me and telling me (in essence) that I've failed to...
Well, it seems to me that "The talk" isn't needed if the SO already knows, but it's almost certain that there will be a lot of "A talk" opportunities afterward.
Now, if the SO is still unaware of...
Here's how I look at the question:
If you've ever put on some item of clothing that's meant for the opposite sex - then yes, you've crossdressed.
But -
That doesn't automatically make you a...
