I Don't Understand

How does any one make the deduction that they were supposed to be a girl because they feel good in a dress?

Maybe because they finally feel 'normal' once they are fully dressed as a female.
The analogy I once gave, was this: Imagine you are at a formal gathering, everyone else is wearing a tux or an evening gown. But you, you're in a bathing suit. Doesn't matter if it's a men's or woman's bathing suit, you're going to feel like you're in the wrong clothes. That's how I feel when I'm wearing men's attire; always just a little uncomfortable, as if I'm wearing something I'm not supposed to wear, and there's this subtle urgency to take them off, and put on what I feel is normal for me to wear. And so, yet, when I wear girl clothes, I feel normal. I never feel uncomfortable when dressed as a girl does. Never. So, in the average person's mind, what other conclusion do they come up with?
We can't always understand how others feel. It's their mind, their body, their life. It's different from our own. Just accept what they tell you, that they feel the way they do.

Live and let live.

One thing a dress does to me: it makes my legs look more feminine. Wearing men's shorts doesn't do that. The material also feels good against my legs but maybe that's just me.

I have some things in common with others on this forum while other things are completely different with the same person. I use to tell one of my girlfriends, "don't expect others to be like you".

I don't know if I was meant to be female, if I am truly female inside or if I simply want to be female.
There is a very big difference in those statements.

All I know is that when I was little, talking 5 or 6 I had this desire to be a girl. I was wearing my mom's things at that early age and always felt so at ease and so right in her clothes. Countless nights I would fall asleep praying I would wake up as a girl. At Hallowee I would wish my mom would suggest a feminine costume so I could feign disgust yet secretly jump for joy at the thought.
I went through all the dress, excitement, satisfaction, disgust, purge cycles countless times but always I returned here.

I'm still trying to determine what direction to take. I've been out and about in public for over 15 years. I'm comfortable with myself and have the support of my spouse. I just don't know where I'm going, I just know I'm headed somewhere. Maybe I'll figure this all out before I die, maybe I won't, but I am surely happier now than ever before.
