You cd, but how many of you are DUDES too!

[KateSpade83]

Crossdressing is just a fault I am too drawn into to quit. But when not crossdressed and in guy mode I'm a DUDE too! I grew up a Dude! Played Little League Baseball and was designated hitter and 2nd base and later center field and our team went to the League World Series. Starter in 7th & 8th grade school basketball team and MVP against the toughest and tallest team in the League! I would have liked to have been a Pro Basketball player but that dream died when I stopped growing past 5' 4" tall freshman year H.S. But then I got hooked into the Dude sport, BMX Freestyle!

I fell in love with bmx freestyle back in 1983. I got lucky and made friends with a guy named Eric who was once with the Curb Dogs, - an early bmx freestyle group. He came from California and hung out with Dave Vanderspeck, and he also had Eddie Fiola's shirt from a skatepark session shown in the FREESTYLIN' magazine.

So now, bmx freestyle is the current dude sport I got back into this year. But I also did road biking and raced 2 Criteriums at the toughest criterium course in the nation at Downer's Grove [The course for the National Criterium Race].

The only thing "not dude" about me is the lack of a pretty GF.

So what dude things do you do are are you unspectacular or are a sissy?

Oh my. That sounds like a lot of bragging and maybe a little hostility. What's really bugging you?

Don't sweat it Katie, the vast majority of people straight or bent just don't get the extreme sports deal. I totally understand what you're trying to say. I've been a hockey player and a motocrosser and I still love those sports dearly. I haven't followed football since I was a kid and most guys today snicker because I don't know the players or teams but they do NOT want to race me on a dirtbike. This bitch will absolutely embarrass you on a motocross track. It's not bragging darling, it's training and unless you've raced for at least a few years don't even start the smack talk. I've been beat plenty of times by other racers but never by a loudmouth macho asshole who thought he could totally ride better than a little pansy like me. The fact is going fast and big air is all about technique and not about muscle. It's guts baby not balls. ;-), though I have both, even though I am absolutely not macho in any way. Some would even call me a sissy. I am a sissy in fact.

BMX is no joke Kate and I have respect. Please don't take these girls seriously, they just don't understand.


I don't want this. I did not ask or choose to be this way. I tried so hard to be a boy, but look at me. Look at my skin, touch my hands, smell my hair, I'm not like any boy you've ever known.

Kiss me.

I don't think I've ever classified myself as a "dude." But since every one seems to be commenting on how different their male mode is compared to female mode, I suppose I'll go along.

I have some respect for dirt bikers, and BMX and all that. Used to watch a little bit of it, but didn't like it. For me, it's always been wrestling. Started in middle school, and did it all the way through 10th grade when I dropped out. I'll admit right off the bat that I'm the greatest wrestler in the world. Went 1-16 freshman year. But I did improve, went 3-0 sophomore year. guess I shouldn't have dropped out of high school.

After that, did judo and jujitsu in college. Did some Japanese sword training, and American knife training. I just really truly believe in a person being able to defend themselves out in the world.

Does any of that classify me as a "dude"? If not... well, just look at my signature.

[WHENIMWENDY]

I was and still am also a hardcore, stage diving, leather jacket with spikes,skull band shirt wearing metal head. I'm also a semi- retired "lets slam beers and then skate and destroy" skateboarder from the old school. I also don't own a car by choice and ride my mountain bike everywhere. Most of the friends i've come out to say that they had no idea that i have way more girls clothes than boys. I put up this great image of being a respected member of the hard/tough guy club, but really am not even close to this image. I think of this as being a bunny rabbit in a rattle snake suit. I also know that both sides are me they just balance my world out.

Hello?
I hope this doesn't come as a suprise to anyone, but it's the 21st Century, get over your gender biases!

Do you really think that what you do as a man makes you somehow more of one? Maybe you're such a dinosaur that you think male nurses must be gay and female mechanics must be butch lesbians?

GET OVER IT!

All the Best,
SS / Ann

Thank you gorgeous.

I have to agree with Anne. I have to wonder about you sometimes Kate. I do not consider crossdressing a "fault" as you feel it is. It is unfortunate that you have not yet learned to accept this part of yourself. I hope you will eventually change your way of how you feel about yourself.

I don't see any hostility in that post. There is no contradiction between saying it's a fault and acceptance of yourself - why can't we accept our own faults? If we accept the faults of others why should we be any worse to ourselves.

[LilSissyStevie]

... or are a sissy?

Guess!

[sissystephanie]

I am definitely not a total sissy! Even though my profile lists my name as SissyStephanie. At my age, 77, I am not sure that I could be classified as a "Dude" either. But I am a man! As my tag line says, lady on the outside but man underneath.

Your "resume" sounds impressive, albeit a lot like bragging! I could not match it and really don't care. But I do spend a lot more time with men than I do with women. My big thing is Charity work through my Church, and that is mostly with other men. Even my late wife commented, more than once, that I was for sure more guy than Stephanie!

[Barbara Dugan]

when I am not dressed I am just a regular dude I used to be a mean soccer player and fierce Vball player too..I still hit some balls once in while so definitely not a sissy

[Cheshire Gummi]

Yo, bra, I know what you're rappin'. I'm just sittin' here, peepin' the threads and poundin' a couple brewtowskies.

Honestly, I love metal. Speed metal, metalcore, heavy metal, industrial metal, stoner metal, even a bit of alt and nu metal (Korn is something of a guilty pleasure for me). I'd say that's my "dude" thing.

But I can totally enjoy that when I'm being girly. I mean, what's wrong with a chick cracking some Metallica?

Nothing, that's what.

Wanna wrastle? :B

[Ediosa]

I was captain of my high school baseball team, captain and quarterback of my high school football team. Was going to be drafted by a major league team (scouts can to see me), but lost that when a had a string of 6 games when I totally sucked at playing centerfield. I was also a member of my high school varsity wrestling team, and played varsity basketball for 2 years. I also like to high dive, cliff jump, bungee jump and will like to skydive. I am also a mechanic of turbines and while in the military, I was a long distance runner, and played for my ships championship softball team.

[TJ Tresa]

Kate I belong to a men's only club, I play golf (not very good at it), I ride a bike, and I enjoy horse back riding, fishing, water sking, I often wear a cowboy hat, most of the time I wear a ball cap. I dress up behind closed doors, I don't venture out (at lest not yet) because I don't think I can pass.

[Frédérique]

So what dude things do you do are are you unspectacular or are a sissy?

[SIZE="2"]I would answer unspectacular. I played baseball and hockey, but I was never picked for a sports team of any kind when I was in school. As a result, I developed more introverted pursuits when I was young. I became an artist, and I found my “arena.” I must say I’m highly feared in national fine art competitions – does that make me a “dude?”[/SIZE]

I do not consider crossdressing a "fault" as you feel it is.

[SIZE="2"]I agree with you, Susan…[/SIZE]

It's guts baby not balls. ;-), though I have both, even though I am absolutely not macho in any way. Some would even call me a sissy. I am a sissy in fact.

[SIZE="2"]I’ve had to be macho now and then, and I hated every minute of it, in fact it made me sick. It’s not fun to be a boy at times. I aspire to be a sissy – I like that word. Call me a sissy-in-progress, trying to leave all unpleasant aspects of being “male” behind. It’s not hard, in fact it begins with removing a bunch of ugly clothes and replacing them with something more beautiful…

PS – Misty, I absolutely love your signature![/SIZE]

[Jeanna]

I'm thinking that you are trying to validate your issue by seeing is someone else may have same. Many of us do just that and it's mostly what occurs in a forum. What I find offensive is showing how macho you are/were then ask if were sissies. Be careful, many women hate that term too. I'm a dude until I die,no two ways about it. I love my feminine side too but she is too pretty for my line of work.

I'll humor you,,,I'm not a sissy

I'm not bragging man so don't put me down
But i've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When someone comes up to me they don't even try
Coz if she had a set of wings i know she could fly

I don't feel the need to brag, the facts speak for themselves

BTW...I'm a dudette, happy know matter how i present!!

Thank you.

Bottom line, there are some awesome athletes out there who happen to be female. Sports are not inherently macho, in fact I submit that the women's version of any given sport is far better executed if not quite as spectacular.

Women, and I think those of us who are a little lighter on the testosterone, approach competition differently then the macho types.

I've said before that I am not a very masculine boy and competing as hard as I can isn't gonna change that. I know because I spent most of my life trying.

I wanted Katie to know that many of us are athletes and gurls and that's totally okay. If racing BMX made you a boy then all of our brothers on the FtM board would be signing up immediately.

[MissConstrued]

I just figured since Kate felt she needed to tell the world how macho she is, she must be feeling insecure about something.

I know that was the assumption, and you weren't the only one to make it. Your post was the one that got singled out.

It's just like the assumption that a guy who drives a sports car or a big pickup is trying to compensate for something -- as if by default a Prius owner should be hung like a horse.

Throwing around accusations of insecurity is the new insult. "You're ugly!" "Oh yeah? You're insecure and your momma dresses you funny! Nyah!" "Oh yeah? Well you have unresolved deep-seated psychological issues stemming from a childhood without an available father! So there!"

[cindym5_04]

Oh I'm total dude... I'm a sportsaholic!! Over the years, I've been into basketball, softball, football (flag and touch), volleyball (indoor and beach), and soccer. Even now I referee soccer and have a recreational team that I started and fully run. When not playing sports I have them on TV... oh yeah and I LOVE UFC!!!

[kasha]

I've been training Mixed Martial Arts and Kickboxing for a long time. I'm hoping to get good enough to compete . . . against other men
