I checked your bio before posting to refresh my recollections of some of your previous postings. You're six weeks older than I. I agree with you on the statement we have nothing else to prove. I will not say that means we are ready to "check out" of this life. For me it means as a comfortable retire much of the stress that comes with a male has been alleviated. For the last several months I have not had the desire to dress. I have speculated in my mind over and over what has caused that. I find I am still attracted to this site. I am still attracted to the visual, i.e., nicely attired women. Still, with the time I have on my hands the desire has weakened. I am a realist who knows the urge may return. I wonder when the summer is over and my wife returns to work will the dressing be forced? Will I dress just to see if I still feel the same? I do not feel any shame or self loathing as I did in my early youth.Originally Posted by Kate Simmons
All in all I have a feeling of satisfaction in my life and have nothing more to prove really. I may have indeed reached that point where I'm ready to hang up my wigs and bras for good. Time will tell I guess.
I have never had any regrets being a man with the exception of being in the infantry in Nam. That period in my life did have an effect on my cross dressing. Cross dressing was an outlet to escape bad memories. Those being somewhat resolved has eliminated the necessity of seeking an escape. Maybe hormonal changes of advancing age has also had an effect? I don't know. I do know the journey has opened my mind to alternative lifestyles. It has taught me not to judge others and to defend the rights of others. If I did not the journey would have been wasted.
But, Kate, I know what you are feeling. We'll see where it all goes.
