    Why do you crossdress?

    For me it just feels natural and the clothes so much more comfortable and unrestricting. Love being girly with figure to match.

    I cross dress because someone said that I was a cross dresser for wearing certain types of clothing. Otherwise, I would just be a dresser which satisfies the law. Is it cross dressing when you wear the clothes you like?

    I'll never know because I started so late in life. But, as Karrn said. I'm driven to it and I have no desire to get out from behind the wheel.

    I was born this way. It’s a part of me. A part of who I am.

    I wish I had the answer to that question, I often ponder it but there clearly is no answer in sight. I guess I could say it's a part of who I am and, even though I have a lot to over come, I am learning to embrace that side

    I dress because it makes me forget about one side of me. I don't always like being the macho guy...with rugged jeans, grease covered shirt, and a buzz cut. I don't feel like I was supposed to be that guy 24/7. Some times, I just want to substitute my wallet for a purse, my jeans for a skirt, boots for heels, and my white greased up shirt for a hot pink top! What's wrong with that??

    Kara's reason

    It started when I was young, with the nylons hanging in the bathroom they belonged to the ladies of the house. Had some issues growing up with too much alcohol in the house (Irish Catholic 7 kids), a little screaming and the bad stuff that went with it. When I tried them on, apx 8-9ish years old, it took me away somewhere to this day I cant explain.

    1st marriage came and went because she cheated on me. In those 14 years I dabbled in under dressing but was never caught. Again, running in mud I guess. After 9/11, I re-married to my second wife and made her a war bride, whom I love and would die for your. If I didn't marry her, IF I was to kia, my remains would have been given to my ex, NOT!

    Ironically 14 years into my marriage/relationship "IT" finally came out. One day I asked my wife if I could buy some nylons on that CDing friendly auction site. You know for role playing in the bedroom 2-3 times per year We were chatting that same evening as I surfed the web and she admitted to me there was a woman at work flirting with her for several months. I said "really", a 100 questions later and she admitted, she always had an attraction to women since she was a young girl . I told her that was cool if she was bi-curious and that I would support her and have no right to control another person, basically go with your feelings.

    She re-committed to our relationship and just wanted to try to explore. I finally let it out, "honey I want to cross dress what say you"?
    She asked 100 questions and I answered them all with my heart spilled out on the carpet. (see childhood paragraph).

    Two weeks of the best open conversations we ever had in 14 years and I sit here dressed as Kara and $1000.00 wardrobe (she picked out my name). M-F I go to work as the man of the house and on the weekends I dress up. For those who like saucy stuff , I Kara, has made love too to my wife Sorry TMI )...Holy therapy, I apologize for blathering. But as they say in a court, never ask a question if don't know the answer already.
    Escapism isn't necessarily bad, but is definitely unhealthy in the long term. While helpful in the short term, things will degrade over time. At some point, the escapee will have to face the issue. Things simply blowing over isn't really going to happen in many situations.

    Why do I crossdress? For me that is an easy question to answer. I crossdress because I cannot always wear a pretty dress, heels, makeup and long hair. Every once in a while I have to wear uncomfortable male clothing for one reason or another. It's that simple, I crossdress when I must present as a male.

    Who can really say why, but the most reasonable explanation is for what it gives us, be that completion, feeling right, natural you name it, it works for me. I came to cross dressing sort of late in life, and it took away some male tendencies that were not developing very well, even wife disliked them. dressing in female clothing got rid of them. I am happier, calmer, feeling right, natural, and completed.

    I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.

    Because I have to. The only time I feel right is in girl mode.

    Crossdressing lately has been guy clothes.

    If, like me it’s just a part of who you are then you wouldn’t Joanne.
    I am with you on that. A good point.

    Maybe I'm part of a small minority here, but why all of the questions about "Why". Let's just enjoy the moment and have fun. Where's my glass of wine?

    My answer... I have no idea. It's something that's been a part of me as long as I can remember. I tried to answer that question for all these years and have no solution.
    After analyzing things in my life I must lean toward the belief that it is something genetic. I say this as in my family I have 3 male cousins all in my age group. Two are sons of one of my father's brothers and the other is the son of my father's other brother. We all share something genetic from my father's line and all 3 cousins are gay while I crossdress. There must be some genetic factor at work here...the coincidence is just too much.
    I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !

    I try to figure the reasons out from time to time when I have nothing to do but think, and that's seldom. And everytime I get a headache, truth is I don't know! And I do except the concept that the reasons change from time to time along with the changes in my life and enviorment. The need to know why is abstact at best but I know who I am and what I am and make the most of it! A word to the wise, learn to cut your loses and live every minute like it the last, there aint no redo! By the wayI'll have a glass of that wine too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Because female clothing goes better with the wig and make up I keep putting on. Actually for me it's kind of an obsession/compulsion disorder. I get obsessed thinking about it and then get the compulsion to put on female garments. I used to be just a few articles of clothing, but the urge has grown into being fully dressed.

    You see my daddy left home when I was three and didn't leave much for Ma and me but this old guitar and and empty bottle of booze,
    You know, I never blamed him cause he ran and hid, but the meanest thing that he ever did was before he left he went and named me Kimberly.
