I think it stands to reason that your sexuality might be influenced while in female mode. If you7 are comfortable doing typically female things when dressed, then that may include the uirge to...

Hi Scarlett. The biggest thing for many of us is the acceptance of our wife/partner. Where you are with your wife is as far as many of us want to take it, just knowing that you aren't deceiving...

I thought I would post something I put up on another CD friendly website. Crossdressers.com is my go-to for genuine feedback, support and discussion. There are others out there with their own angle,...

The running of my hands down the backs of my thighs before I sit down is a classic you don't know you do sometimes. It's a good way to signal your CDing if you want it to come up casually in...

When I dance in female mode I'm pretty reserved but still (hopefully) feminine. It's mostly from the feet and hips. I keep it pretty conservative because I have seen some that really over do it and...

I agree wih Lisa. When you can naturally find humour in your situation, then you are probably very accepting of it, and you. Hobbies and occupations can be comedy goldmines and lifestyles can too.

This is pretty much me. I am a pretty emotional person but I just had it drummed out of me that I shouldn't be so emotional. (This was done mostly by my older brother who was ironically described by...

I thought I would float this one out there for discussion. When dressed, do others here cry when they are happy?

The first time I was dressed in a TVCD get together I casually put my hands...

I think you mentioned it yourself but it sounds like the incorporation of your female self into your male self might have been unsettling for her.

I am in a similar position with my wife in that...

Political and social movements run into supply and demand problems when most of their primary goals have been met: universal suffrage, civil rights, end of gender and race discrimination. What we...

Hence the old Archie Bunker-ism: "They all look the same to me."

Also, when I used to go out dressed, it was the women that would pick me because I was trying to pass as one of them. I could also...

I agree on your point about politics. Just because we are a minority and an often frowned upon minority, society assumes we have the same politics as other minorities. We dress like women so we must...

Just to add to some of the points that have come up:

1) For all the talk in the media (social and mainstream) about gender, this site for the most part is still very much an older CDs site. I...

Yes you can pass - if you dress to be passable. To me you are dressing to be the sexiest crossdesser at the ball rather than someone that no one will suspect is really a man underneath. I'll bet you...

I adjust my voice slightly. It's a bit like overall deportment. You walk differently when dressed so you talk differently when dressed.

There are loads of videos on YouTube by those who have...

Years ago (2001 ish) I lived in Edinburgh and one of the girls from the TVCD community wrote to all the high street clothing stores asking their policy towards us. Not a single one was negative to...

I'm reasonably stocky too.

Google around for reverse pyramid shape tips. Here's a link I keep for myself. Granted, it's for women to consider and they use celebrities as their examples, but the...

"We object to the fact that you walk around undressed in your house in clear view of my family. I have lost count of the number of times I have walked into my kitchen, climbed the small step ladder,...

Getting a job that I could do dressed.

When I first branched out and met others, I was surprised that no one decided to speak any differently than how they would as men. Even those that were very serious about passing spoke that way.

I had to open my suitcase at Auckland airport to show the customs guy just what the hell he was looking at. I showed him and we both had a chuckle over it. On the screen they have, they do look...

From my past experience in the TVCD scene in the UK, there was a natural pecking order based on convincibility or all round sexual attractiveness. This is often linked to age, but you naturally...

As much as we acknowledge that gender is a continuum of classifications where we can fall into all the places in between the black and white, we as a species have a strong instinctive need for gender...

I lived in Edinburgh for 3 years between 2001 and 2004 and I was active as a CD in that time. I did not once get a negative experience from being out dressed. Taxi drivers were cool. I would walk...

I have two personas, but I am still the same person with the same personality. Each persona is better at some things than the other. Perhaps that is why I (and others) do this in the first place, to...
