First of all, I have to say that I grew up in Portland! Haven't lived there for 41 years now, but still love the place!
It appears you are what I regard as myself being. That is what you should tell people you are, since you don't seem to fit the mold for anything else!
I am a "pure" crossdresser! That means I dress only for the fit, feel, and look of womens clothing. I am definitely not a Transsexual, or even a Transgender. I am not a Transvestite, because I don't dress for sexual reasons! I am a Crossdresser, and nothing more, just because I like to wear womens clothing for the reason I gave above. I have never wanted to be a woman, just to dress, and sometimes, to look like one. When my wife was alive, she used to fix my wig and do my makeup, so the two of us could go out as two girls! She loved me as her husband and as her best girlfriend, and I loved her equally. That is True love, and it lasted for almost 50 years before cancer took her!!
