    How do you see yourself?

    So Ive been thinking, I had my eyebrows waxed yesterday, 1st time. they were just cleaned up, defined I suppose.Im happy with the result. I look in the mirror and I just dont like what I see somedays. I dress and cover myself up and wear things I like. I go out in clothes I like on me. I am very comfortable with certain aspects of this, other things like going out in a dress not so much. I know things take time. I can tell you when you talk to me, your getting me, not some person who enjoys the anonymity of being unseen on the internet. Have you ever wonder what someone else sees? I wonder, am I ugly? am I to forward? Part of my dressing emulates something I think I'll never have. Im not rich, I work hard, Im loyal, am I a good friend? I like to think so. Im not a big guy, Im tall and slender, I view myself as just enough to get someones attention, but not enough to keep it. I wonder what it is I lack. My metabolism has always been fast, I worked out off & on for about 4 years trying to gain weight, I ate 6-8 times a day. I gained 10 lbs the last year, It came off a lot quicker than I gained it, I suppose these are many of my self doubts just being talked about.

    I suppose Ive had more good days then bad since I accepted myself. Im sure we all have these feelings from time to time. I woke up last night about 3 am and for some reason these thoughts were floating around in my head. Maybe writing them down will help get rid of such things....

    I see myself with a beautiful person who is trapped inside of me .My female side is way more caring and nurturing.

    I know what I am. A female impersonator.

    In photos and my mirror I can appear to be a very attractive female. Judging by the responses I get from men on Sherry's FB page.

    Out in public is an entirely different matter. I can present a very sexy, shapely figure. But, with on old man's head on top! Not attractive!

    Still, if I was attracted to men, I could score plenty online and in gay, T friendly clubs. But, I'm not.

    How do I see myself? I've only been dressing the last 18 years. So, I'm still working that out------:brolleyes:

    A bit conflicted. Very tall blue collar man, but very loving toward animals, try to love people, but its hard. I see my self when dressed as Alice, as very tall, classy dressed 62 yo lady, but the huge hands, huge feet, voice, tell that i am impersonating, as DRS put it, a lady, but i do see myself as a tall 62 yo part guy, part gal modeling classy dresses, and skirt combos. Conflicted, Always, and i admit i have bi polar, depression, and have had a very abnormal , anguished life mostly, with some good times once in a while.

    I see myself as a lover of what current society call feminine - I love to see the feminine curves, the colors, pretty face, long hair, shapely legs, perfume, painted nails. I was given a body that has most of those natural features and yet society says I am not entitled to the other add-on elements as I am genetically male. I am not ugly as a man, but felt socially outcast growing up. A bit of Asberger possibly, but not enough to meet criteria. I was too thin and did not usually attract women to me and did not learn how to play the mating game.
    I don't wish my sexual organs to change, but wish to be free to make myself happy by making myself look like a person who looks the way I think is better looking than the drab me. I look younger, shapelier, happier, can wear clothes that show off rather than hide my better features.
    So I see myself as a person who can look decent either way, but society is putting a large barrier in my way of doing so. Yes, because I care what society can do to me and the people I care about. If I (or society) did not care, then there is no stopping me.
    Hugs, Ellen

    I see myself as a guy who likes to wear women's clothes from time to time. I know I won't pass as female and I don't try to.

    Well, all of the clothing, silicone, shoes and makeup give me the tactile feel, weight distribution and visual female markers that make it easier for fuzzy imagination to complete the transformation.
    I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
    My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
    And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
    Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!

    Personally I think you are just right Mykaa and a person well on the way to self assurance. I greatly admire that in a person.As for myself, I see just a person, nothing more or less.

    I see myself stuck in the middle most of the time but when dressed I feel more the way I was meant to be gender wise.

    I'm a sensitive guy that adores women but has a slightly wobbly gender compass...

    Sometimes I feel an inexplicable desire to do my best to emulate all that I admire and desire in the expression of female and feminine imagery - most times I just want to adore women in that normal, physical and 'hands-on' way that most men do...

    Talk about conflicted...

    And while I agree that self-acceptance is key to a harmonious life with this condition - the challenges of that are a lot like addiction... tough to balance, manage, understand and reconcile... particularly in a world (the cis-world) that just cannot comprehend how, why or what we're feeling when we're driven to do this... but at least we know now that we're NOT alone...

    Time for that first glass of the day, I feel... :wine:

    I am awkward and I stutter. I have a very hard time talking to everybody. I'm very bad at shooting the breeze. So instead of growing a pair - I pretend I don't have any when I'm all alone. I try my best to be a man but I can't drive, I have an extremely small friend pool, and I don't know any women as friends. So I'd say awkward. Very awkward.

    When I dress I need I need three hours to put on full dress, makeup and wig.

    Last week I had six new dresses I wanted to try on but only had an hour, not enough time for makeup.

    Well I put on hose and hip pads bra and forms, then the first dress.

    When I looked in the mirror, let's just say it was far from a turn on!

    Miss Judy,
    "This is ME" I am not CRAZY, I'm just a GUY who likes dresses!
    Since allot of men dress up in woman's clothing that makes it a manly thing to do!
    Much more fun than fishing.
    I do construction like house building and I love CD-ing, what's the difference?

    I see myself as someone who looks good in a dress, not as a woman, even a temporary one. I am slim with great legs and I can do female body movement but I am happy for people to know I am a man. Women who have seen me as male and female say I look better in women's clothes and one said she saw me (in a dress) as a very elegant PERSON. That is enough for me.

    I'm me. Sometimes fem, other times no. My fem side brought out the authoress in me. My male side hates to write anything more than a note. My fem side nags the male side to be more tidy. My male side reminds the female side to be more thrifty. Both sides keep me smiling.
    I don't dress up because I want to be a woman, I dress up to make me happy.:D

    I'm not sure if it's because I've never been a big, huge guy, but being thin I've always gravitated towards crossdressing cause I have the frame for it and it makes me feel pretty! I like the way this side of me looks and it satisfies the femme side of me I guess

    A decent, honest, caring, intelligent guy.....who just so happens to enjoy wearing women's clothes in private. But, I like myself. I'm happy. No regrets.

    Hi Piora, You've described me too. I've quit worrying about the "why's", and just do it with enjoyment. I'm happy that this has given me the opportunity to explore my feminine side...and I do..Ha !

    It is rough sometimes to look at myself in the mirror but in the end I just be me and if I feel like wearing a dress I will wear a dress if not I am in a suit.
