Back when my second wife and I were still in love, we used to take dresses on vacation for me to wear in private and we painted my fingernails fairly often. Once we were crossing back from Canada...

It's hard to be more unpretty than I am. I used to dream of being pretty, but since I met my wife, who treasures the way I look as a man, it's not really a dream anymore. I just love wearing dresses...

Cassie, you sound pretty close to me. I've only been "out" twice (apart from driving around in a dress) and neither time did I attempt to pass. Once was with my wife (also in a pretty dress) in an...

My father was raised in a family that was slightly to the right of Attila the Hun. His mother sent me religious tracts all through my youth, including one bitterly hostile to homosexuality that made...

I met my wife through Craigslist :) During the fifteen months I was available I scanned about 60,000 headlines and probably read 1000 ads until I met the wonderful, brilliant woman I married. I also...

I've been thinking about this thread since it was initiated almost a week ago because the question is fascinating to me. My conclusion for myself is as follows. I would want to adopt a "girl" role...

Everyone is doing well with this pathetic, hateful, and violent Harris. My little addition is my favorite line from any play:

"Nothing human disgusts me, Mr. Shannon, unless it is unkind..."

How beautiful! It makes me so happy that there are people here who are truly living their dreams. I suppose I'm living one of mine -- from the time my marriage ended in about 2005 until 2009, I...

Ooh do I envy you! If I ever had the slightest remotest chance of passing I would long to try this. What I would really enjoy would be being forced to accomplish this.

I've been thinking about this for fifty years. In the past two years I think I've reached a partial understanding, but really it applies only to myself, because my style of CD is in a minority here....

You and me, Victoria. It begins with my nylons, and then when I'm in my slip I'm already glowing. But the next glorious step is a lovely full-skirted dress in silk, organza, or sometimes an eyelet...

This is closest to the way I feel. I wish I could wear dresses and all the rest, heels and nylons, all the time. I wish very deeply that I could look completely like a pretty, young, ultra-feminine...

OK...My cognitive dissonance at this moment is that I'm envious of Reine because she has too much wisdom for one human being :)

I envy everyone who has posted to this thread because you're all so much further along than I am, or probably will ever be. If I had not found true love at 55, and maybe even the possibility of...

Georgina, don't you love the slips with encased lace? You can still find them once in a while on eBay, with the lace at the bust and hemline enclosed in chiffon. Elegant and ultra-feminine.

I own about five aprons but only one I actually use, and it's really pretty. The truth is that I do housework in a fifties dress and as many petticoats as I can lift, with heels, of course.
Lisa

Please, please, please, please, PLEASE...The only problem -- oops -- is that you wouldn't have to pay me.

Persephone, what fun!! If I had any chance at all of passing, I would love to try this. Unfortunately my legs are so muscular that I can't even hold them close enough together to sit sensibly in a...

I don't agree with some of the remarks I'm seeing. If you've earned $28 an hour, $12 can indeed feel like an insult and depending on Kate's situation (and level of desperation), I think it's...

Dear crossdressersfriend,
You have NO IDEA how much I would love that, except for the party -- just make me put on the dress and heels and clean, preferably at least 18 hours straight. Then I'll get...

I am in no way minimizing Mandy's difficulties when I say that it's possible to experience housework both ways. I'm a single parent half the time, I work two jobs, and I do almost all the housework...

I want to thank Kate for starting this thread. I have learned so much. There are joy and pain all over and all we can do is try to help. I'm choking up a little (that's part of my feminine side -- I...

Jeez, Lauren, you should talk. You're a living doll :)
Lisa

This is a beautiful idea.
I mean the B&B.

Oh Rebekka, that is really, really great. I don't know about you but that "I'm not surprised" reaction actually comforts me. I've told two extremely close friends within the past three years and both...
