    If it was viewed as totally normal, would you still dress?

    Imagine a world where you could dress in any manner you wished. Crossdressing, nude, cosplay, or whatever. Would you still? Would the novelty wear off? Would you be thrilled or would the thrill be gone? Would you be in Heaven?

    Would there really be any crossdressers if there were no defined male and female dressing norms - everyone wears what they want?

    I thought it was normal and everyone else that did not crossdress was abnormal.

    Of course I would still dress en femme! The thrill would certainly not diminish one wit and I would still be in heaven. As I mentioned in another posting, I am not very happy with the term “crossdressing." It seems to have an odd, social connotation to it, like crossing line one should not really be drossing. No way.
    I dress en femme because I just love the clothes and that being en femme is the real me. I am dressing in my own clothes, clothes I find natural. Do we need a special term for this, like the old, horribly sounding term transvestitism? When in drab, I feel I am playing role, having to pretend that this is natural. It is not for me. When en femme there are no more pretenses and I am being just me. Heatherdress stated it correctly, “Would there really be any crossdressers if there were no defined male and female dressing norms - everyone wears what they want?” Perhaps there should not be any “crossdresser”, just people dressing the way they please.

    I would dress more. I love dressing, the adrenaline rush is not what I am after, the smooth pretty legs, skirts and pretty shoes are.

    It would be nice to be able not worry what society thinks, having this site to express your thoughts and to read other gurl's stories has really helped me to feel comfortable about my self when I dress.I love dressing too , and for me the pretty legs , skirts , sexy clothes, bra's to showcase your breasts to define your body is really a turn-on for me.Devone

    I would love to be able to wear what I want when I want and where I want. Maybe I would not feel the same if Society looked upon crossdressing differently. But I firmly believe that there is a woman trapped inside of me and from time-to-time needs to express herself. As I write this I am fully dressed with makeup and feel very good inside .fortunately I have the next few days to let my feminine self out for exercise. I totally enjoy these moments of freedom. unfortunately most of the what ifs are just that what if . We need to use the times that we have and enjoy them I know I do

    I think the point is being missed. If wearing the clothes of the opposite sex wasn't taboo, how many would have started crossdressing in the first place? I'd wager very few. I mean I probably wouldn't have, for a start. Being raised, we'd not have had the gender demarcation of what we should or shouldn't wear. Trying the forbidden fruit of hosiery/lingerie (other crossdressing triggers are available) of some sort wouldn't have had the cache of naughtiness it does

    Personally, I disagree. I crossdress to feel / look like a woman. That's important to no one but myself. I crossdress despite it being taboo. Not because of it.

    I would dress a lot more often in public. Especially if people would interact with you as what ever gender your were presenting as. Because though I do love the clothes it also about being recognized as who truly are at the moment.

    OH yes, my shaven, smooth nylon encased legs, lovely skirts along with the most "wicked" heels!

    Love to have long hair to toy with too.

    That's an interesting question. I think the answer depends upon why you are wearing women's clothing in the first place. I don't mean how wearing women's clothing makes you feel, but, why women's clothing and not something else. If there is an underlying root cause driving you to be en femme, then, will that root cause be satisfied? If there is no distinction between the attire of a man and a woman, how would that affect me? Is it as simple as getting up in the morning and donning a dress, hosiery, heels, makeup, undergarments and feeling the same as grabbing a pair of slacks, a dress shirt and tie, Oxford shoes and black socks and tee shirt and underpants?

    That's my dream, to be able to dress as I wish and for it to be normal. I would wear skirts and dresses more often.

    Stephanie47 brings a good point. Comes down to why do we do it (or started) in the first place

    If wearing gem clothes was a norm, would I experience the same thrill when I first tried my mom's outfit?

    Not sure.

    I think I would still love the leggings and a long shirt look though super comfy. Plus makes my butt and legs look super sexy lol (shallow statement I know).

    My answer to the original "If it was viewed as totally normal, would you still dress?" question is a straightforward yes. It's not about how others view it, it's about what I choose to wear.

    In a world of gender neutral clothing there is no femme connotation to be gained (or lost) by what you wear. So, if your desire is to look/feel femme then you will need to find it elsewhere.

    For me, it's all about the clothes. The feeling of being feminine. Wow, how cool would it be to be able to dress whenever I wanted.

    Im afraid I'd probably dress feminine all the time and I could throw away all my men's clothes! Woo hoo!

    In heaven for me. I have always envied the range of colors, fabrics and styles available to women, compared to the options open to men. In addition, there is no comfort comparison...women's clothes, in stretchy fabrics are infinitely more comfortable to the inflexible fabrics used in men' clothes. Give me stretchy jeggings over Levi's 501s any day.

    No doubt I would dress more, Probably would be almost full time.
    Except for those times when I had to work. Then I would have to be in guy clothes.

    Absolutely! For me it is not about being taboo, it's simply what I like to wear.
