Another great thread to read through. Much here I can relate too. My body shape and size is un-alterably male. My head since my first recollections has always both envied and admired the female way of life, as I understand it, brought up a male. Stephen Sodhiem wrote a wonderful song for West side story and for me it sums up much of my association with and need to cross dress. I feel pretty and content and simply me inside and out. It took me a long time accepted who I am. I dreamed of being a woman for so many years and still do. But finally I accepted that I never could be, due to my physical characteristics and the amount of learning required to fit in socially and that has aloud me to just get on and enjoy being me.
