I started a thread once, asking GGs, "What is femininity?"
None of the answers had anything to do with dresses....they all spoke of strength, nurturing, empowerment, compassion....all admirable...
It's probably a minority, but I am curious about "submissive" crossdressers. I see this theme in crossdressing literature all the time. Understanding why we crossdress is difficult enough, but to...
I prowl the web ceaselessly for crossdressing help, photos, forums, etc. Why? Because I have spent many, many hours getting dressed, putting on makeup and perfume and jewelry, and then sitting at...
Just because he's a counselor does not mean he knows anything about our issues. His questions and comments prove it. What he sees is an opportunity to keep you longers as a customer.
If you get in a serious relationship with a woman, tell her you CD BEFORE you get married.
I think it's somewhat common for crossdressers to be submissive (though plenty are NOT) . I think of it as a "subset" of our culture. But it does seem unusual that only one article of clothing...
The question is not just, "What do we do to get crossdressing accepted?" It's "How can crossdressers get to the point where they don't care if they are accepted or not?"
Anyone who is "different" has experienced some degree of guilt and shame, which is tragic in our case because it's all just someone else' projection of "what's right" on us. Cds are peaceful and...
Although it had nothing to do with fetish dressing, I got bashed so vehemently here once I left the forum for about a year.
Beyond that--because of bathroom laws and other controversial TG...
While I do not trust the media, I don't believe they are being controlled or manipulated by anything other than ratings, ad sales and circulations. They cover TG issues because of the...
You are certainly not alone. The percentage of CDs who truly pass is, I believe, quite small. In public I usually get ignored--not the same as passing. Don't worry about it. Just perfect your image...
I am not gay and never had to test myself. I also think the CD community, our government, and the world in general should quit worrying about whether someone is gay. It doesn't matter.
apologies...my last post should have read "I am NOT TS..." I think many of us can love CDing and appear feminine but still NOT be TS either.....
He is lucky to have someone trying so hard to understand this phenomena. Despite many scholarly articles you can find I don't think anyone really understands CDing. It has many...variations, many...
What I like about compliments from any woman is that it gives you a small moment of true-life girlhood. I have never had, or wanted, a man to tell me he liked my shirt. But GGs voice such opinions...
I am not gay but used to go dressed to gay bars with drag shows. Once, a man starting talking to me and bought me drinks. I enjoyed it, carefully, and went home alone. It was fun.
I admire your tremendous courage. Sounds like you really "made a difference" in just one class. You should be very proud....and we should all thank you.
Good thread! Leave it to Beaver--June always wore dresses, pearls and high heels around the house...
Neither of those ****s would ever have the courage to take the chances we do.
...when you can walk in heels better than the women you know.
...when you get really upset because your favorite lipstick has been discontinued.
Problems with self-acceptance result from our fear of embarrassment, rejection, or worse. While most people who see us in public just ignore us, they still snicker (who cares) or tell their friends,...
I was eight or 10 when something, I don't what, drew me to my mother's closet. I got into a cotton day dress with a wide skirt, pulled on her only petticoat underneath it, and slipped on her (too...
Curious how many of us have purged entire wardrobes at some point in the past, only to start rebuilding your wardrobe again later....I have purged completely two or three times (losing God knows how...
One foray into my mother's closet and a teetering walk in her high heels. Then I sat at her vanity and put on her Revlon Cherries in the Snow lipstick. My life was different from that moment...
