I see a lot of comments here about how much some seem to dislike being their guy self and just cannot wait until the next time they can get all dolled up. While I can relate to that, I no longer think it's such a big deal. I had my "pink fog" period like everyone else when I felt I had to "prove" to myself and others I was 'feminine", yadda, yadda. The truth is, now that I'm retired and have the freedom to do anything I damn well please whenever I want, I feel I have nothing more to "prove", especially to myself.
I've done a lot of things with the CDing that many would only dream of and feel a lot of satisfaction really. For me it's all "matter of fact" and I take it all in stride. I'm not getting any younger though and while I still have a lot of fun with it, the old "grey mare", she ain't what she used to be . That being the case, I've been "re-discovering" my guy side lately and kind of like it. There are just some basic pleasures to being a guy that cannot be denied, in my mind anyway.
The other thing is that for me, it's less about appearance and presentation and more about spirituality. I've amalgamated my male and female feelings into one overall person that is pretty solid and unshakable and will stand up to many trials and tribulations. The truth is, I'm in touch with my core self and my essense (which is genderless) and that is my default when things get tough.
Sure, I still enjoy the feminine stuff but the masculine stuff isn't half bad either and I certainly don't "hate it". Doesn't get any better than this really and truely is the "best of both worlds".
