I've always been a crossdresser. Since I was able to do anything at all (such as walk upright) this has been my thing. So, maybe 38 years worth of CDing...quietly, when I had the chance.
A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to dress basically full time for about a week. Since then, I've noticed the urges to dress, my mannerisms, and my desire to present as female have increased markedly.
I guess the nice thing about me is...I tend not to overcomplicate things, and try to avoid stressing over them as well. The 'why's and wherefores' tend not to bother me, and I take things as they are (or as they come).
Where is this all going to lead? I don't know, and that's ok. I have a family, kids, etc...so transition is not in the picture for at least a decade. And by that point, I believe the decision will have made itself. No point in stressing over it, is there? Nope.
Same thing with you. Some simple truths: 1) If you're not happy, you're doing it wrong. 2) Only you have the power to make yourself happy. 3) Uselessly stressing only makes things worse. 4) Simpler is better.
So, keep things simple, try and be as happy as you can, and take life as it comes at you. Best of luck![]()
