I don't seem to have the energy to put 2-3 hours into getting ready and hassling with the makeup and the nails and the shaving and the corsetting and the padding.. ack! I used to love all of that but it's honestly a pain for me right now.

I used to take hundreds of pictures too.. this time around I have 2 photos in the camera. What's up with me?

It doesn't sound like you are rejecting your feminine side, but that you object to the effort involved. If that's the case, then I hate to tell you this, Kat, but there are millions of people who feel just like that! We call them "Women!"

A number of folks here moan and groan when GG's don't dress up all the time. Maybe you have evolved to the next step in crossdressing? The step where you relate more closely to how many GG's feel?

I can't know your own experience, but I can share mine. I'm retired and, with the blessings of my spouse, can dress any way I want on all but a few occasions. My social role pretty much matches that - there are some places and some people that I do not wish to encounter en femme, but otherwise I don't have to worry about it.

So, in the morning I do my neighborhood run en femme - a close shave (which will last me pretty much the whole day), a moisturizer with SPF, panties, shorts, bra and tank top or cami, running socks and shoes and I'm off.

Come back, shower, and, if I have nowhere to go, I actually toss on just shorts and a t-shirt and do my housework, the laundry, dinner prep, etc. No swirly housedress, no heels.

If I do have to run errands outside or if I'm going to lunch with friends, or a meeting or manicure or whatever, then I'll dress accordingly - male clothes if it is an en drab event, otherwise usually "androgenous" (which, for me, includes heels and a purse, women's pants or jeans, etc.) or full en femme, hair and makeup done and so on.

Sometimes I worry that perhaps I've "wasted" all that possible "girl time," but most of the time, deep down inside, I know that I'm really Persephone and that's all that matters.

Does that help?
