    I d must have missed something. I reread the post and don't see where anyone said your not crossdressing or a crossdresser. Most of what I read was advice against being on an isolated foot path late at night alone. Take the crossdressing out of it and that's still sound advice.

    I don't know about that. I go trail running at all times of the day and never had someone say anything about me worrying about my safety. And I wasn't worried about my safety. But when I first started wearing a skirt running I was told by a couple people to avoid early morning and late night trail runs in a skirt or stick to group runs in a skirt for safety. I have never had an issue.

    Once upon a time way back in the seventies, a young gay man who lived in Greenwich Village area of Manhattan, used to skate around the city wearing a fancy dress. It was clear to all of us that this was a male, and he made no attempts (other than to look as feminine as he could) to lie about who and what he was. Just a guy in a dress skating around the city, showing up in lots of places where folks who want to be seen, go to be seen. The most famous spot to find him was of course Studio 54, the hottest dance hall at the time. rollerena.jpg

    So wear what you like. You certainly won't be the first!
    Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
    There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
    Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.

    Simone, I know you feel that you've been stood before a cellophane wall and shot at from both sides, so sit down, take some deep breaths and relax. .. There! Isn't that better?
    No girl on this forum would want to intentionally do you 'mental' harm by her remarks. We DO care for our sisters! Take comments made with a grain of salt that you find not to your liking. We try to help each other with our thoughts and comments. This will become more clear the longer you're with us on the forum.

    Now, take another deep breath or three, smile to yourself and say, OK. Hugs.

    I don't agree that people who go out in public and try to look like women are "more than just crossdressers". "crossdressers" are men who wear women's clothes but understand that they are men, not women. Some might just wear panties to bed, some may dress nearly all the time and go out in public freely.

    As far as this forum, it's open to anyone.

    Simone,

    I took the time to read your post about the path walk. Any advice given relating to your safety was advice well worth taking onboard. You described how at one point; "On the way back i was about 50m from my car and was in full view of traffic and a few cars passed behind me and my rear view was in full beam of lights it felt so amazing."

    So someone in one of those cars either sees a female in a short dress and heels in a quiet place alone or realises what they see is a crossdresser. It's those situations where women get sexually assaulted/murdered and crossdressers get beaten up or worse.

    Dress how you like. No-one was criticising you for that. Just take onboard that the rules about personal safety were learned the hard way. Others who went before you found out these things to their cost. As for being in phone contact with your SO: HEADLINE; Wife hears screams as crossdressing husband was assaulted. Stay safe.

    Krisi,
    So what about TGs taking their first steps into transition , at some point the the crossdressing label doesn't apply , after a year of being out full time it just isn't crossdressing to me anymore . I go out and buy clothes for me not clothes so I can crossdress .

    I can sort of see what the OP is saying about "crossdressing". I would compare the statement to "If a tree falls down in a forest and there is nobody there to hear it, does it make a noise?" So if a crossdresser aims to pass, are they perceived to be a crossdresser by the people they encounter? In their own mind, whether they like the label or not, they know they are crossdressing, but as they pass nobody will recognise them as being a crossdresser.

    Indeed, there are probably quite a few members of this forum who would not like to be perceived as crossdressers when out in public, but for most of us acceptance is most important, which we usually achieve by blending even though on close inspection it may be obvious to the ordinary man/woman on the street, we are crossdressing.

    This could rapidly turn into another labels thread. We are what we ourselves feel that we are, it does not matter what others may want to label us.
    Rachel,

    As a crossdresser my personality has several facets. Therefore, I suppose I can be forgiven for being facetious.

    I really don't do makeup either, although that's mostly because I haven't gotten to sit down and try to learn how to do it (I keep telling myself to get a makeup kit one of these days). Most of my public dressing has either been at sci-fi/comic conventions or at parties with my friends. Also, the majority of my dressing is either in a princess cosplay or some sort of frilly outfit like a Victorian dress. Stuff that wouldn't exactly pass if I went to the mall to walk around in it. I go as far as to wear enough stuff to hopefully cover my maleness to atleast look female, but I know I don't do enough and I'm sure most that have seen me that didn't know it was me could tell right away that I was a guy in a dress. My belief has always been if you are happy with what you are doing and it doesn't cause harm, then there is no harm in what you are doing. I'm not gonna go out there and be a standard barrier for anything or how you present yourself. Aslong as you are having fun with what you are doing and you are happy with who you are doing it, then all is good!
