I sometimes wonder how realistically we see ourselves -- how objectively we can see ourselves -- when we look in the mirror. I know that some people literally see themselves, for example, as fatter...

In all of the posts about this topic that I've read over many years, I have never seen a single definitive answer. :)

Personally, I think we only wonder about "why" until we fully accept...

If somebody gave me a static shock, it wouldn't occur to me to wonder what type of underwear they were wearing. I think your secret is safe from a shocking exposure.

If you weren't allowed to eat at work, as soon as you got home, you'd head for the fridge. Not sure it's an indication of a change in your overall appetite.

100% full time minus 40+ hours a week...

I do the same thing. Instead of a pink fog day, I get a "pink blizzard" day.

Hair removal and electroconvulsive therapy?

Leslie,



Because of guilt and shame imposed by other people.

Society doesn't like that I do this.
I wish I wasn't different.
I wish I didn't do this.
I wonder why I do this.

Maybe he's a closeted crossdresser and doesn't want to move out because he'd lose access to all of that fun stuff...

Bea, thanks for posting. I'm very science-oriented and always skeptical about reported correlations between gender and (whatever), but I did some reading and it does look there's solid evidence for...

I suspect that most people, male or female, would answer weight.

Beyond that, I'd probably replace my face. It would be nice to experience being pretty.

Probably about as often as a typical GG does. So not often, but it's fun when it happens.

Maria, it sounds like you did freeze that moment, that feeling, in your memory. It's yours to cherish.

I've told all of my therapists that I'm a crossdresser. They usually asked something like...

"Is it causing problems in your life?"

"No, not really. Just giving you some background about me."...

Based on the years of photos posted here, including lots taken in LGBTQ bars, etc.... I'd say that the weight distribution of crossdressers is pretty normal.

A rhetorical question, no answer...

natashaj, somewhere on the main crossdressers.com page you should see "Clothing, Shopping and Beauty". (You may have to apply to join it, I'm not sure.) Then use the Advanced Search page to look for...

Hmm, hair should not normally affect facial recognition software, otherwise people who get haircuts would get locked out of their phones. Most FR software measures the relative spacing of various...

In the addiction treatment/recovery community we talk about "euphoric recall" where first-time or early experiences make such a deep impression that we spend the rest of our lives chasing the feeling...

Based in part on the variety of personalities that I've met in this forum, I'm sure there's no single reason.

Personally, I think of transgenderism as a spectrum that goes from people who have...

I shared a two-bedroom apartment with a "weather girl" for a year, when we worked at the same station. (I had my own clothes by that point so I never once invaded her privacy, and I was actually...

When relief from a human appetite -- a craving -- is anticipated, we get excited. When an appetite has been satisfied, we feel more relaxed than we did before, because the craving has been relieved...

Julie, I appreciate the effort, it's something I would do. :) But some folks get concerned about an outside researcher (psychology, sexuality) joining the forum and collecting data in just that way. ...

If somebody wants nothing to do with reunions, I definitely get it, lots of people feel that way. But for what it's worth, are you the same person you were in high school? Me neither. I live in my...

I grew up in the 50s-70s. A lot of people my age have not moved past "I'm cis and anything non-cis is bad". Beliefs we're taught as children often stick with us on a primal level. It was worldwide...

I bought and enjoyed some sexy things when I was younger. Donated it all a long time ago because when I went to my closet and dresser to pick an outfit, I never seemed to choose them. Now I go for...

Based on my personal track record... Immediately attracted, the pretty one. Grow to like and maybe love, toss a coin. Then, if the masculine-dressing one is cool with crossdressers, the choice is...
