Some CD's say they prefer to remain men but if you had the choice and the opportunity would you live en femme 24/7? I tried it once and it was a lot of work.What I realized in the long run is that I'm myself regardless of what I'm wearing. Why or why not would you do it?
Second star to the right and straight on till morning
It depends upon the definition of "en femme". If it's "dressed to the nines" then the answer is no. Most GGs couldn't do that. If you mean "able to wear those things that please me" then the answer is a definite yes.
I would definetaly like to try 24/7. First then i can know how deeply my female-side goes.
It depends on which concept you mean with it , just dressing in the clothes Yes, makeup ,wig and trying to pass No as i feel that would just not be me . but if i had my own hair in a feminine style then yes .

Hmmmmm Funny you should mention that Denise... I am trying my best to go to the Keystone Conference for that very reason.I have never been dressed for more than 6 hours or so.... right now i'm trying for the 4 days... i may end up with less days, but i do want to try to see if i'm comfortable being me and en femme for days at a time... I will try to make up for daytime [ less makeup] and see how i do, and of course night time makeup, which in my eyes does a much better job of hiding that guy under there.
This should be interesting.

I've done 24/7 enfemme for a few days and it was exhausting. Obviously I'm lazy because its almost too much work being a guy 24/7....
Never been dressed for more than a few hours. I don't know if I could handle wearing hose and makeup 24/7 even if I wanted to!

If I didn't have to wear a wig and the beard was gone ,I could do it
I literally can't wait until I can go 24//7 as a Woman, all the fun in being a Woman is the hose and the makeup! (well that and the clothes, lol)
I am always dressed on the days i do not have to go to work so for me is is like 24/4 . I work on an on off schedule so every other weekend starting friday I am dressed fully as a womanand stay that way untill i have to go back to work.. and also on the other days i am off.

Hard to say. I have a 3yr son. I dont want to confuse him. But 4 years ago i wold have said yes.
I'd like to do it for a week with a woman in control of it.
I have been 24/7 since a couple of weeks before Christmas. With the exception of 4 hours on Christmas day, One trip to unemployment (5 hours) and 3 hours last Saturday when I helped my son with some plumbing issues at his place. (He doesn't know about me yet). Yes it is exhausting, but for the first time in my 56 years things feel right. I now like myself, and I couldn't say that before.
I believe therefore I can [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Oh, hell no! Not only would it be far too much work, but that would also take the fun out of the special occasions. "Dressing up" for me means something different than my workaday drab.
Besides... even real women don't live "en femme" 24/7.
Being "en femme" 24/7 means being a woman in every possible way. Real women do live "enfemme" 24/7 simply because they are women!! It is the only way they can live! Their clothing doesn't make a difference!!
As far as I am concerned the answer woiuld be a definite NO! Yes, I do like to crossdress! But I am a MALE and proud of it! I put on feminine clothes almost every day, but never for 24 hours or even close to that.

If I could pass without spending hours in the bathroom first I'd definitely like to take that opportunity. "en femme" doesn't mean heels, hose and make-up to me though. Like most women, I'd dress casually most of the time and dress up when I feel like doing so.
It's just a dream though. My passing without make-up is non-existant. But I'm working on that
A common thread to this thread (LOL) is that 24/7 is hard work.
Now you know why those of us who do transition end up spending a lot of time in flat shoes, pants, very little makeup and hair tied back.
It's great for the special occassions when we do get to go out dressed to the nines, but most of the time it's just each day as a "normal" woman.
On the flipside - you get to KNOW why some SO's can't understand "why" their partners want to CD. It IS a lot of work to be an attractive, well presented woman 24/7. It's even harder when you were born the wrong gender.
Freedom to be an individual is all powerful
Denise, I think I have mentioned before that I'm well satisfied with my personal situation, which is dressing as often as I can, just because I can. However there are times that guy mode is more suitable to my environment and when those times arise I can be just as comfortable being me, born as a male. That said, going en femme 24/7 is not feasable.

24/7.... no way, although 24/2 sounds like fun.
I don't think I would ever want to be full time. A lot of CDs I know are full time and they like it. It's just an individual choice. Do what makes you feel good and don't worry about opinions of others.
Maybe if i were reborn as a girl. wearing girl clothes 24/7 as a boy could get me in lots of trouble ^^"
All being equal I would go effectively 24/7. Saying that, I'd probably end up being more female than male, and I would like to keep the opportunity to pick and choose. On the ther hand, I started playing Second Life about 4 years ago (I'm currently on a break from the Metaverse that's lasted 6 months plus so far, but that's a separate issue) and took a non-gender specific name, planning to do just that: pick and choose whether I was going to present as a guy or a girl on any given time. In the end I got locked into being a girl, partly by choice (I'm gorgeous in SL, but then again, so is everyone LOL) because I didn't see the appeal of being a boy but also because I was accepted as a woman by all my friends there. The interesting thing in SL is that I'm actually pretty much like a female version of myself in a lot of ways: redhead, short (by SL standards) and a bit of a smart-mouthed b1tch LOL
For me, I see Mira as my girl aspect that I have to let out once or twice a week. I don't think I could handle 24/7 without going crazy.
I've been en femme (completely) for days at a time. It doesn't take all that much time on the clothing choices of the day. The facial stuff is exhausting. I do not go en femme outside my home and the backyard (six foot/200 pounds) because the serenity c/ding brings me would be lost. If I could pass (five foot seven/HTW) I would be out there 24/7 forever, if was not married.
24/7? probably not. Though, I've never tried it. I've often fantasized about being a GG in which case obviously, yes. But for right now, I'm happy being a man who enjoys sexy feminine things.
