I keep seeing posts and comments on this forum where we assume that everyone else has the same view of the "point" of crossdressing as we do. Can we please remember that every crossdresser has their...
There is a BIG difference Carole, as I'm sure you appreciate, in that there are no animals that are part dog and part cat (Except in cartoons). This is the big problem with gender to my mind: people...
Labels are a useful shortcut, they're how the brain works. We "tag" everything. Like in a tag cloud, the tags thet get used more often get bigger. But labels are not real, and people use the same...
At first glance I though it was a Clockwork Orange reference. No9, movement 4?
It will have to be your bikini shed! x
Rugrats isn't about babies it's a metaphor for adult relationships in society.
Real children get it - dressing up is fun and makes you feel good. it enables you to explore various role and...
I agree with everyone else. There is no standard default of crossdresserhood so you can't fail at it. I know there are some people who will tell you you're "not a proper crossdresser" and you're...
I think I agree with you Asche. Many CDs report they "feel female" and drift down the spectrum towards reassignment. Some refer to themselves as "part-time girls". Like you I will never pass and will...
This step may be appropriate for other people with more of a female balance than me but I love both my male and female sides. For example I don't regard my genitals as a hideous birth defect unlike...
Jilmac, our UK equivalent of the VAMC is the NHS, because everyone needs access to good free healthcare, not just military veterans.
Everyone: yes they're panties or knickers or just pants here....
Excellent news Shaina! I'm really really happy for you!
I just wish I'd told my wife 22 years earlier than I did...!
I'm with Nicole here. We can all say, I don't have a motive, I just want to. That means you have a motive!
Being unaware that you are internally wired to enjoy it doesn't change the fact that it's...
This topic is a hardy perennial on this site.
I know this view won't be popular, but I don't believe straight or gay exist as mutually exclusive categories any more than male or female.
In...
I've always thought women look better with nice clothes on than naked. Just more proof I'm not a boy, I suppose!
How much of his behaviour might have been driven by his hiding this part of himself from you - and possibly from himself too?
Reine, I don't think Lynda was implying that there is anything wrong with 50s clothes - they are fab, after all! - she was reiterating the impression she has gained from the site that one type of...
Linda, it sounds to me like you're full of guilt and desperately wondering why you've never felt fully connected to the women in your life because they've never come out to you about your secret.

Everyone is very welcome to friend me as Rachel Flowers. https://www.facebook.com/rachelflowerspetal is the link you need!
Ive been through and sent requests to as many of you as I could find....
Can't find you on there hun....?
Cardiff has a thriving LGBT community and plenty of tolerant venues, 6. I'd say UK legal environment was not too shabby, 6. Where I live in a little mining village I'd expect 3. We're more tolerant...
I have read Alice in Genderland. She doesn't exactly give the reassuring picture many CDs want to communicate to their wives but it was certainly useful for my self understanding. Alice is not only...
I think you should feel very guilty indeed about this, Marleena! You are in danger of bringing the whole CD community into disrepute as a bunch of perverts! And the mods will be along any minute to...
When a friend was helping me discover myself two years ago, it was "definitely just about the clothes, they make me feel good" and there was no way I'd ever get invovled in shoes or makeup, I just...
Oh good grief no! Surprises are never good. You'll be enough of a surprise as it is, don't add to it by making it a confrontation situation. Tell her you're going to have a conversation about...
