I think as a group we're really good at parsing words, and that includes me. I have alternately described it as a hobby and a lifestyle/identity depending on who I was talking to and the impression...

This came up between my then-accepting wife and me more than once. I don't think either one of us were really serious about it. I tried on her wedding dress on our wedding night. It was years...
Back when I was obsessed about passing I'd sometimes return to somewhere I'd been the day before when I was dressed and start a conversation like, "You probably don't recognize me from yesterday" and...
Under a sweatshirt and jacket I doubt anybody could tell, period.
As a long-time wearer of feminine things in male mode I'll add, I'm not sure what we really mean my "cares". If that means you...
It'd probably make for an interesting thread to post links to the menswear runway shows for comment. They're interesting at least, and would probably make for good discussion. I'm certainly...
I watch all the menswear runway shows. I never see anybody wearing it. It's no just because I'm stuck in the redneck south. I actually get out of here fairly often and you'd think I'd see at least...
I got pretty good at it back in the day. Even had a propane-heated curling iron (that didn't work very well).
This is the case nearly every time we think we're getting away with something. Most of the time (with me anyway) I probably wanted to be noticed anyway, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. The...
I went because my marriage was blowing up over it and my wife insisted. Long story there. The short version is I insisted that dressing was something that I did/do, not who I am. She insisted...
I kind of figure he walked over to get a better look at you. Anyway, you got that over with so you don't have to worry about it anymore, which is awesome.
When I was getting a divorce I had to...
I never felt guilt. I could see someone feeling guilty about sneaking around or spending too much money, etc.. The big one to feel guilty over would be upsetting your spouse.
This thing we do...
Like Sandi, I don't know that honesty was our big deal. Communication, yes.
I always thought I was honest because I didn't hide any of my clothes, etc. If I really dug deep though, my honesty...
Diane,
You probably didn't intend for that to be funny, but I got a laugh out of it!
I've never done chores while scantily clad. Well, I did own a French maid uniform for a while. Something...
I was 20 (46 years ago) and thought I passed with flying colors anywhere and everywhere. I walked into McDonalds and the girl behind the counter got bug-eyed. She hurried back to tell the people in...
Even in this lull I've been in I've pretty much kept up with my regular mani pedis. For decades I've had my nails done every 6-8 weeks without fail. Typically I get them done on Friday or Saturday...
Personally, I think you're "high in the fog". Your words. Maybe "high onthe fog would be more appropriate.
A little hillbilly neurology/psychology here.
If they could see into our brains...
I second Sandi's HaHa!!
When I was a teenager I was super skinny. My mother bought me girl's slacks and shirts because they fit better. For a year I didn't even know that they were girl's...
Well, thanks.:o
The post where I covered that was probably before you came here. Beyond that, it rarely matters. When the "gay" topic comes up on here it is a hot button topic. Since it's often...
I don't understand feeling guilty about it. You said you were single. For anyone who is married and steps outside the marriage, you ought to feel guilty. The more guilt the better.
Regardless...
Very well said Linda, and I agree.
I guess as far as "the talk", that's it. In my case that never happened because she knew from the time we got together as teenagers. I was never NOT a crossdresser, although neither one of us had a...
Hmmm. Interesting responses here. DianeT's fox thing... I want some of what she's having! Nice to see Reine weigh in. Her "innately feminine" comment... couldn't agree more.
I can only see...
I'm suspicious of the "LGBT+ charity" for counselling. To put it bluntly, I think you'll receive counselling with an agenda. Counselling should be without agenda, either direction. I'm not sure...
Personally, I think you're overthinking/overanalyzing it, which I guess is part of obsessing over it. There's no rush to some destination. You only get to have the newness of it all and the...
Back when I was hung up on passing, Halloween was a pretty good test. If you don't pass on Halloween, people just think you're in costume or doing it to be funny. People don't mind letting you know...
