    Call me what you like, just make it feminine. Sometimes I'm a real bitch and sometimes I'm a sweet sexy submissive.

    The truth is I like being a bitch sometimes and sometimes a submissive women. I love being the one that cooks and cleans. I'm more a housewife than anything and I like it!

    I just pee'd and I sat down to do it! I always sit down to pee. I like it that way.

    Tiffany - I think that what you describe is accepted just fine on this forum. But that is clearly not what the OP is describing. She is describing simply dressing up as a woman is what makes her a sissy (or apparently a bitch.) That, I think is what most of us are objecting to - that simply as dressing as a woman makes one a sissy (or a bitch.) Maybe this is part of the concern that some GGs have with some CDs??? A bit demeaning, no??

    As a kid, the word sissy was used as a derogatory term, and even though it's use might have changed over the years, I still see it the same way. So I never use the term in relation to CDing.

    It's like so many other words... it depends on the context. As stated previously, some people go for the "sissy" look; others don't. Personally, I don't like the word in most cases and have shied away from products that I might otherwise want because they were marketed towards "sissies." So many of the long sheer peignoirs I'd like to find are advertised this way.

    I suppose that there is a line that gets blurred when one goes for an ultra-feminine younger look... that might be a sissy look in some eyes.

    I've been dressing in a "sissy style" for a few years now which is definitely an over the top feminine look I do enjoy it but I call myself a crossdresser none the less I'm not one for labels but I wouldn't be offended if someone called me a sissy because of what I like to wear I look at "sissy style" a form of over the top or extreme crossdressing that's my take on the word sissy.

    When I was growing up the definition of a sissy was simply a male that engaged in some activity or behavior that was perceived as feminine. I'm sure there's no one here like that! Of course, femininity is relative and the girls in my neighborhood were pretty tough. But girls still fought by different rules than boys. If a boy kicked, scratched, pulled hair, bit, or tried to rip an opponents clothes off that would be considered "sissy" fighting although it was perfectly acceptable for girls to fight that way. As for myself, I avoided fighting unless I had an overwhelming advantage - not so much because I was a sissy but because I was smarter than the average lumpen-proletarian.

    Hi Tiffany, long time no see!

    You're right, it is a style that is adopted by some CDers and it should be accepted in this forum, as should any other style ... even the CDers who choose to wear beards.

    But "sissy" definitely does not mean "feminine" in the sense that most people in and outside this community think of feminine. For example, I am feminine because I am a woman, even if I wear blue jeans most of the time. And I am decidedly not a sissy. lol. And although frilly dresses, ankle socks, mary-janes, golden locks, and short white gloves are feminine, the little girls who wear these things are not considered sissies.

    Transsexuals are feminine, and they are not sissies either.

    I'm wanting to point out that if a birth male wears feminine clothing for reasons of identity (whether transsexual or non-binary), I doubt very much she or he would consider themselves a sissy.

    When I first signed up here I thought like many of you it just meant a boy being fem. Now as I see more and more I realize it is probably wrong and demeaning. But I guess I am stuck with my name

    I always say if the shoe fits, wear it. If not, don't. Names don't bother me in the least. Sticks and stones, you know?

    I surely feel 'girly', or 'feminine', but as said above, 'sissy' is a term for being submissive and not really the same thing. You might feel submissive as a 'female' as part of how dressing makes you feel, but it is not the general feeling I get from dressing up.

    I don't really see a big deal personally, it's obviously going to vary from person to person but I'd try not to see it as derogatory unless it's purposefully used as an insult. Maybe someone doesn't like the word, that doesn't mean they should think less of someone who does. There are many different types of crossdressers, some will highly dislike the word, others will like it, whatever.

    I agree. I seldom see it written here to describe crossdressers. I'm far too old to be a "sissy".

    Because women are not "sissies". Women just are people who have different DNA and genitals than men.

    To me, Sissy is primarily just another role play character that I enjoy although, when I'm not in male mode,
    I always wear my cute jingly necklace with the hanging letters that proudly say S-I-S-S-Y.
    It's just a thing with me.
    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!

    When I was was young being called a sissy generally started a big fight. It was a term I did not like. But growing up and seeing a new version of sissy, it does not seem that bad just don't call me one. I don't think any here as cross dressers are the real sissy's these are those boys under BDSM and sissified and not even girly. A very derogatory term for a male.

    You are correct about this. Being a "sissy" 40 years ago meant you were a boy or young man but was not brave or perhaps not possessing strength or other masculine characteristics or abilities. "sissy" nowadays actually can very well mean a man who is into being seriously berated, usually by a dominatrix and be forced into very humiliating behaviors. Although they do in fact like it. It is a means of being dominated while being dressed.

    Sissy as in just a weak person and feminine I believe are not one in the same. I think a woman can be a strong person of character, a leader and yet still possess femininity. I personally cannot say I have ever felt like a "sissy" in the old term, and have no interest in the new alternative lifestyle either. Not really sure how new it is though.... I think it might be getting a bit more popular now.

    Were your heels and and walk down the streets, And enjoy the sound of your heels hitting the ground. WE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

    I try hard to not care about words.
    My wife has called me sissy and girly a number of times. I know she means it in a good way, and I don't mind at all.
    But when I was young, my parents caught me cross dressed a couple times. They told me to stop and threatened to go to my school and tell everyone what I did, and they said the others would all call me "sissy" and beat me up, and no one would like me. Nice parents huh?

    I don't hate the term, but then again I don't care for the term. I mostly see it rampant in fetish fiction (whose tropes don't do much for me either) and it has strong connotations of humiliation tied down to it - if you apply it to yourself then there really isn't anything against that either. But I wouldn't even if I am dressed in a hyper-girlish (distinguished from merely hyperfeminine) manner.

    I am not fond of the word "Sissy" it sounds derogatory to me. When I am dressed I am just like any other female just with something extra. I had a girls night out once after a professional makeover. I felt just like the real girls. Feminine and pretty.

    As Nicole said, "sissy" has fetish connotations for a certain group of dressers.

    I know a lot about fetishes. But, that's NOT one of mine. I may dress, but I ain't no sissy!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    There's a corner of the fetish community where things like forced feminization, bimbofication, and humiliation all rub shoulders while dressed in frilly skirts and maid outfits. From the OPs posts I don't think she's necessarily into these things (I could be wrong) but rather subscribes to an interpretation of women (and the CDs who wish to emulate them) as effeminate and submissive. Fetish or not, it draws on interpretations of femaleness and femininity that are now considered inappropriate at best and outright misogynistic at worst. IMO, for these reasons alone (and others that some people have touched on as well) it's an offensive term and shouldn't be used unless the person being addressed specifically requests it.

    I like the word, Sissy. We used to call my sister that. Now I call her Sis. It means sister, so what's the problem? I much prefer being a sissy to being manly.

    "owning" words is a cop out. If you can say it, then it should be allowed by anyone. If someone outside your community uses it and you find it derogatory, then you shouldn't use it either. It's just an excuse to hold power over someone else
