Interesting post Frederique. For me I just have a need to show my gender expression which is a mix of that which is male and that which is female. When I crossdress I'm trying to show my feminine side and get some sort of acceptance. My male side is always accepted but not so much for the femme side. I have no desire or wish to be a female or live full time so crossdressing is the only need for me. For me there is no second thing associated with gender, just expression. In my world, emulating masculine behaviors and dress is endorsed and viewed positively by society and doing that which is feminine is not! This last statement I'm sure of!
