I love the feel of the clothes.
To express my feminine side.
I am a woman in a man's body.
I am a "Drag Queen".
It's a sexual/fetish thing for me.
I honestly don't know why I crossdress.
Other. Please explain.

You may be onto something there !
I wouldn't say that my only reason for crossdressing is vanity. However, from childhod I have always disliked the appearence of the male who looks back at me from the mirror and I've always tried to avoid having photographs taken.
But when I'm dressed I can stare at myself forever and the camera is my best friend.

Every time I walk down the street, I see every eye on me.
Every time they look at me, I wonder, who do they see?

Well from the first pair of panties that I slid on I knew that I was hooked. Then later on in life came the gridles, pantyhose and nice dresses. Any guy that trys on these great clothes and does not get hooked needs to have his head examined.
my sister's reply when I told her how I prefer to dress
"Everyone has there thing, all that matters is that you are happy, love what you do and who you do it with"
Like many I feel elements of most of the categories (except drag queen).
I know it explains little but the thing I keep coming back to is
'I want/need to feel pretty'.

Because I can't find a shirt to go with these heels!
It expresses my femenine side, but I don't know why I need to crossdress. It seems I do.

Really don't like the "Woman trapped in a mans' body" expression. Sounds like you can rattle your tin cup across the bars and demand to see a lawyer! This body is mine too, but perhaps a better perspective is an analogy with Birth Defects. We have this disconnect between the mind/spirit and our physical appearance. When I see that everyday Guy in the mirror it's me, but when I put on my wig, forms, and pad out my hips under those things I really feel comfortable wearing it's More Me than me.

I couldn't have said it better myself.Well I wanted to say "Cos I love the feel of the clothes" as well as "Expressing my femme side" ... but it wouldn't let me have both.
So for the record: Girlies just have much more and much better clothes - they look nicer, feel nicer and come is so many more shapes and sizes than guy clothes!
Just wanna be a girlie all the time so I can wear all these nice clothes

Why I crossdress
It was hard to narrow it down to one reason. Like today, when I put on the mini-skirt, long tunic top, strappy wedge sandals, and wig, with makeup and nail polish, I just liked the way I looked. When I received a compliment from the manager of the Avenue store, it made my day. I do not dress to make fun of women; I admire women completely. As I told her, I want to present myself as an attractive woman. I want to be the best women I can be. And she told me she always sees me as an attractive woman when I come in dressed. I can't ask for a nicer compliment.
for years I told my parents something was wrong. I felt wrong. I felt disformed. Then as I grew I learned to more and more what I was. A woman in the wrong body. I talked to people I read gooks. I learned but still I hide it. Trying to talk to my parents only cost me to be beaten or yelled at. I felt shuned. Then after years of pain and discomfort in my on body I decided to become the woman I truely am. Though the times are hard at this point in time I am happier then I used to be. So for me crossdressing is when I am forced to put mans clothing back on and pretend i'm a man to appese people who can not deal with my true self.
Love is like the rose,
Beautiful and Sweet,
Move the wrong way,
And be pricked by it's thorns,
Painful it the wound,
as the heart bleeds,
Feeding the rose that is hidden,
Feeding and growing till it is strong,
My life is like an open book to love me is to know me. to know me is to love me.

I crossdress because it is fun and I enjoy it.

I answered i don't know why anymore. At one time it could of been anyone of these. But there was always, a need to dress. If some one can explain , why one has a need to dress. I would love to hear it.
I crossdress because I wanted to know how I would look as a woman a very passable one at that. It has come to the point where I must transistion to become my true self that has been hidden away for so long. When I am dressed it just seems natural to me, the fake male persona dissapears and my true feminine self unfolds. I have always felt somewhat uncomfortable has a male and now I know why, its because I am really female inside.

It is kind of like the insect that is drawn to the light, it just has to do it. The good thing is what's not to like about being a part time girl. We have the best of both worlds.
Feeling and looking great

I feel exactly the same way as Anna. I am complete and liberated.[SIZE="3"]I crossdress because I am transgendered. I present as a man but am a woman on the inside but have no desire to transition and I love the feel of the clothes.

"Don't let anyone define who you are".
I voted "other" because as others have said, none of the above categories is the sole reason why I dress, and while several of them do play a part in my dressing, it is a relatively small part. I think I like to dress for the adventure of doing so. It expands my life experiences beyond the narrow box that society has deemed appropriate for men and allows me to explore other sensations that are otherwise reserved only for women. Crossdressing represents an escape from the confines of manhood with all of its pressures and stresses, and is therefore very therapeutic and relaxing.
Manhood is a very stressful state in our society: one which must be maintained at all costs, or so we are brainwashed into believing. But that is not the subject of this thread, so I won't bore you further with my opinions on that one.
All the best

I crossdress because of the clothes feel and the natural feeling I get when
I'm dressed for me it a natural high I'm relaxed in a nice place specially when

It is the URGE to feel pretty for me, like someone said I like to look at Denise Sometimes driving home after buying some make-up or nail polish I get so excited. Yes I feel like I have female hormones in me But I am not attracted to the male image. My fem side needs to dress like a headache needs asprin.
Because there's times when being metrosexual just isn't enough.
Because sometimes being one gender isn't enough.
