You're a WHAT?! Really? But you're ...

[Julie Denier]

I got to thinking about those of us currently closeted gals who feel we need to remain so for our own various reasons, and what physical and personality traits we may all possess that cause us to more easily avoid suspicion about our dressing activities. And as such, if we did come out to those close to us, how might they react?

In my case, it might go as follows:

"You're a crossdresser? But ... but you're ..."

- Fat
- Really tall
- You eat like a horse
- You smoke cigars
- You're kind of a slob
- You're boisterous
- You have road rage
- You yell at the TV during football and hockey
- You're a right-wing loudmouth
- You like trains
- You're often not discreet when passing gas

Yes, all this is true. But sometimes a fella needs a little break from these things.

Or to put it more simply, "Mongo like crossdressing!"

i got a big over what you wrote. The Mongo line had me rolling!!!!!

[Danielle.N]

That's the reaction I would get if I told someone, who has seen pictures of Danielle, that I used to be an all-state offensive lineman!

[rocketscientist]

It really just goes to show that there are NO hard or fast rules for what we do. We are all different. We all dress for the same and different reasons. The reasons you listed could apply to ANYONE,male or female at birth. Peace and love, Tonya

ROTFL! You've got me pegged, too ... and yeah, it is nice to take a break from all that "manliness" once in a while :-)

[Julogden]

All those "qualities" can be applied to various GG's that I know too (except maybe liking trains), but no one questions their gender, so don't sweat it.

a geek/too into computers...

[Pythos]

Computer geek, gamer, Submarine nut (older diesel boats), Warbird lover, A&P mechanic, Classic car nut, Pilot.

But then again, none of those is really that gender specific.

well, gamers tend to be classified as an overly masculine pasttime. at least in my circles.

[erickka]

I am the exact same way as you, Julie. NO ONE would EVER believe me either! LOL.

[JulietLewis]

LOL. Thanks for that!

[AKAMichelle]

I had one person think that I was a biker dude. I guess we don't fit the stereotypes often which is why we should come out of the closet. Life is so much better on the other side.

[joank]

Mongo like GUNS too.

[Kaitlyn Michele]

Mongo look cute in picture.

Mongo make a great point. Kaitlyn's friends say that stuff too!

"You're a crossdresser? But ... but you're ..."

[SIZE="2"]I just want to say that, except for liking trains, NONE of your list rings true (in my case). It is fun to definitely step away from the male, but, to tell the truth, I don’t have far to go – I stepped away years ago, and I keep him at arm’s length. I now watch hockey games with the utmost decorum, usually with my legs crossed at the knee, sitting upright, idly fingering the hem of my skirt, while sipping a cup of tea, not making a sound. Often I wonder why I’m still watching hockey, but some old habits die hard -- I just imagine it as ballet…

WOW, It's true we do have a twin out there somewhere! LOL
Just add hot rods and warbirds to the list for me.

[the_me]

This is too good! I love it!

But you love beer!

[RADER]

AH!!! How did you know that I liked Trains???

Awww, thanks ... Mongo impressed!

[Debra Russell]

Mongo really need to try on new dress !!

[Alice Torn]

Funny thread!!! Sadly, the passing gas thing is a sad reality, especially for the male side, but, it was a sad realization to me, to find out that every living thing passes gas, and poops.
