Well Wendy,
I'm in my 70's, so I qualify as "older."
I'm retired and don't get out of the house much.
There's not a whole lot of need to get out of my nighties and into man clothes.
So - I end...

Genetics, epigenetics, nature, nurture, heck - past lives or karma, who knows? I certainly don't.

All I know for sure is that in my case, it definitely wasn't nurture. I was never encouraged. I...

My male presentation is t-shirts, jeans, and sandals. (panties underneath, of course. I've still got to breathe a little!)
Function and comfort are the rule when in drab. The word "drab" says it...

If I could do something like this, I'd be like a kid in a candy store. I'd be running everywhere!

I think that after a quick stop in lingerie to get the proper underthings, I'd be spending the...

April,
I consider myself more on the "trans" side than I do "CD" so I'm not sure if my opinion counts.
Here goes anyway:

There is another barrier that you didn't mention and it's the one that...

Sadly, I've accepted that I'll never get there. My male body prevents my ever reaching that goal.

Still - I've reached a "nice stopover" along the way. It's not where I really want to be, but...

Ironically, my Daughter in Law got a text message from her son yesterday, wishing her a Happy Father's day.

She's a single mother, so she's had to fill both roles for her kids.
I thought is was...

To Be or to be with - is that the question? (Sorry Shakespeare :heehee:)

For me, the dressing is more the first. It's not the clothing itself so much as it is my way of feeling more "in sync" with...

I have ONE friend who doesn't care how I'm dressed. Either way, we're two friends spending time together.
It's strange (to me at least) just how "normal" the whole thing is when I'm with him, fully...

I've always - ALWAYS knows I should have been a girl, so I took every chance I got to try to look the part.

Even as young as 4-5, I'd sneak something of my sister's to wear in secret. I also...

If you mean fully stepping into the role and out into the outside world - it's been about a year and a half. Before that - about 20.

If you mean doing something less than fully stepping to the...

Stephanie,
I just have to ask you if this thought was more like the "I wish this vacation would never end" kind of thought. You know - you're enjoying the moment and don't want it to end. You know...

Back in the day, when I was still single and not under the "no going out" rule, I attended a group in the central Florida area.

The group would meet in a rented hotel suite at the time and it was...

I honestly don't know what I'd do, and I'm not ready to find out.

I think that I'd really enjoy the freedom to be myself, and not have to live with (modified) DADT all the time. So - Maybe live...

Dressing? Somewhere around 65.
Feelings? even longer -I'd say all my life, or at least ever since I knew there was a difference.

Hmm - so many choices. I guess I'll pick this one:

Since we're in fantasy land here anyway ... My wife suddenly decides that she's fully supportive and wants to help me live my best Sara life from...

Well, LIanaT - Other than getting "read the riot act" by my parents and grandparents after getting caught (separate incidents) - not much really. I learned to hide it well.

BUT

indirectly, I...

mine is very prominent - sad to say.
It's one of way-too-many "tells."

Yes.


BUT


My wife wouldn't

-also-
It might be a change in your posture.
When fully dressed, I tend to walk/sit/stand/etc. a bit differently than when in drab. Since I feel "good," I stand taller.

Just a thought...

I guess I'd have to say "yes" to this, but I don't get the chance very often. My wife does NOT approve.
I'll add that I'm probably more in agreement with the GG's though. Forms, pads, etc. do...

Eventually, yes I did. It was when I visited her from out of state. I was around 40 at the time.

Her reaction? "Oh. I thought you were going to tell me you were gay." That was it, basically a...

Does crossdressing impact my personality?
Um, no.

I think it's rather the reverse.
My personality, who I am, my need to be genuine to myself, are what lead me to choose how I dress.
My...

I looked it up real quickly, and Sara means "princess."
I didn't pick the name for that, though.

I wanted the initials for my femme name to match my male ones, and I was also noodling around with...

Ok, OK - y'all got me curious enough to go look up a picture of him.

I wasn't sure what I expected to see, but I definitely was surprised.

He actually looks good in that dress. "who woulda...
