I'm not sure I follow your line of reasoning here. Do you mean to imply that it would be creepy for me to take hand-me-down slacks, dress shirts, and jackets from my father? Because either you...

Well gals, sorry I haven't been online for a spell, but I have been traveling. I am currently with my parents in Chicago. I packed minimally (panties, wig, summer short shorts, a cami top), and...

Wow. So much analysis. Not to undermine the genuine concerns of the wonderful participants in this forum, but......

I find it to be a real "red flag" when people concoct elaborate...

Well said! For me, the process of coming to terms with my 'brain' (or 'authentic self') involved asking questions like this for many years. It can be a confusing journey with many twists and...

Reminds me of Jung and anima/animus.

There are many 'unconscious' aspects to our personalities. Bringing these out and expressing them can indicate a movement towards integration.

When I am...

I find this type of thinking to be extraordinarily limiting and quite offensive.

Whats wrong with cross-dressing? Why does it need an "explanation"?

I can definitely verify the existence of...

I have thought about this too, and I always come back to:

Well, I will be dead, so it doesn't matter. There is nothing wrong with this lifestyle, but these types of worries seem to indicate that...

Suppression of anything causes energy to come out in other ways, depending on the personality type.

You raise some really great points Reine, but I will off some counter-points for the sake of discussion.

First of all, in my experience "transphobia" is not just limited to a "chunk of people" on...

This might be the clearest and best expressed argument I have heard that points towards including cross-dressers under the "transgender spectrum". It is really interesting when we examine our own...

I understand your point within this context, but it kind of misses the entire issue of this being a "trans issue". This is an aspect of my person-hood. It is not like wanting to install a 70 inch...

Wow, thanks for all the thoughtful replies! I appreciate all the honesty and insight. After reading through the thread I am left wanting to acknowledge a few points.

I am really grateful that...

This level of analysis is very refreshing: both honest and intellectually sound, this expression moves me to open my heart, and be more open to aspects of "relationship" that my inherent egoism is...

Wow! Thanks Tanya and Pamela, for your very honest and powerful replies.

Duty to home and family is a very Real existential obligation.

And Tanya, "There is nothing I am not". Wow. You have...

Okay. A warning first: this thread is about "spousal" and "GG" acceptance, but not in a "warm-hearted, compromise" type of way. It is an "alternative opinion", so traditionalists be warned! (I...

I am wanting to break a few hearts en femme, but trying to find a community outlet for integrating this lifestyle.

I may be a dissenting voice here, but will add my "2 cents" to the thread.

I encourage you to trust your own inner voice. If this is telling you to explore cross-dressing, go out and spend a few...

I remember finding a bag of my mothers "sexy clothes" in the basement storeroom when I was about 12 years old. Suffice it to say, I imagined it was a gift from the gods placed here on Earth for my...

My smooth chest seems to have lately drawn some attention, but over the years my overall look and presence have "raised the eyebrows" of many. I once heard a general contractor say (I was in the...

If you attempt to dam a river, the unconscious forces will manifest in other, perhaps more neurotic ways.

The river must flow!

I may be a dissenting voice on this thread, but I purchased some of the exfoliating body scrub and....that stuff removes a ton of dead skin from all over my body. I never really thought about skin...

Recently, I have this annoyingly obsessive visual-crush on Alisyn Camerota

I can really relate to all of these anecdotes!

What has been getting me curious glances lately is my fragrance and deodorant. Even if I remember to wash my face (which I always forget to do), I...

I am a rather introverted introvert.

I don't have to hide anymore, but I have lots of anecdotes from growing up. The funniest was wearing my entire stash of lingerie underneath my clothes when my mom and dad were doing a "deep clean"...
