How do you feel?

[Cathytg]

I have a friend who is a family therapist and he asked me a question that blew me away because I had not actually thought about it in an objective and honest way before.

I will pose the same question to you.

He asked me: "How do you feel when you are dressed?" He did not ask me how the clothes felt, nor did he ask me how I felt about myself. It was a simple, straight-to-the-point and narrow question. It has made me think hard all week. I realized that my answer was different now than it was 30 years ago and it has made me become very reflective about my own self image and identity. Please give it some very serious reflection.

Well, I suppose that depends on how I am dressed. If I am dressed in my fuzzy jammie pants and lounging around the house, then I usually feel very comfortable and relaxed. On the other hand, dressing in more formal styles is fun and exciting but tends to be tiring after a while. From a different level, dressing makes me feel like an entirely different person and it is a person I prefer.

I feel pretty, feminine and ready to show myself off!

[Barbara Dugan]

I feel like nothing is missing.

[Cary]

I feel happy and whole.

[SamanthaT]

It's a good question. I get a buzz, a high, a greater feeling of being alive. I guess you could call it gender euphoria.

[Kate Lynn]

I feel absolutely nothing wether I am dressed in man mode or wearing womens clothes,I prefer womens clothes over mens especially the low rise jeans and skinny jeans.
If you could measure my emotional level with some kind of device they would be flatlined,but thats just me,but I do have a sense of humor,but as for how do I feel when dressed,there are no feelings,they are just clothes.

I feel totally at ease. I get a feeling of calm that sometimes I don't have when I'm in male mode. It is especially nice since Dear Wife is accepting and helps me stay in style. It's hard to explain, but I think it's kind of like meditating and getting in the zone. I have a good feeling and wish it would be like that for everybody.

[TGMarla]

Well, I feel good. I feel serene. I like the sense of being pretty, embracing the feminine, and feeling delicate. I feel more sensitive and in touch with my surroundings. I feel calm and uncluttered.

And to one extent, I feel closer to what I think my life perhaps should have been....female.

[Jennifer Brooks]

I feel stress free, happy, calm and very sexy.

[CherylAnne]

While dressed I feel calm. I am much more relaxed, do not seem to have the go, go, go, win at any cost attitude. I like myself more when I am in femine mode. I am nicer, more polite, more accepting than when I am "manly".

[curse within]

I feel more "right," yet at the same time, I can also feel more frustrated at the same time.

[Jo-Michelle]

I feel good about myself because I'm being myself

[PamelaTX]

At peace.

[Shannon]

I feel more like I do now that I did before. (Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to use a very old line from the late 60's/early 70's.

Actually, I feel happy, complete and fortunate to be able to express and experience this part of me.

[Brandiwvr]

I feel as one in spirit, its just a spiritual jorney with a one way ticket that i will NOT ask for a refund. its is just so great to be alive and whole. I AM WO MAN AND COMPLETE...

[docrobbysherry]

But, while I'm dressing; preoccupied, distracted, and mindfull.

Then, it all disappears when I put the final wig on!

[Elizabeth2-]

I feel like me at home.

[DawnRodgers]

Natural, normal and happy. Would stay this way all of the time, if possible. It is what I want to be.
