34) Not saying it is wrong I am just wanting to understand. Why the seeming obsession with panties? All the threads about them? I just do not get it.
It is the most intimate piece of clothing a woman wears. It is what is closest to her (and I am sure bra threads run a close second). It is also something that women wear to look pretty and feel pretty to their partner. Guys underwear is rarely made to stimulate the partner, but many women's panties serve no more purpose than just that. There are embellishments of lace and bows and patterns. It is in integral part of pornography for males and has been for well forever. One of the first sexual encounters a boy has is trying to see a girl's panties. Not what lies beneath but the material. As Cd's we cannot have anatomy that mimics a female and panties help cover that. Now, since the question was asked of the TGs here as to why panties are so important...think why do they offer them to women and why do women buy them? Honestly, if the visual stimulation women have with panties were no important to them, would every woman wear white plain cotton? So, part of the answer is women wear pretty underwear, why can't we?
35) Having to do with your CD lifestyle are you for the most part happy? If not what would make you happier?
Yes I am happy with who I am now. It took awhile. What could make me happier? If the world would develop a more open mind about crossdressing and quit cubby holing us as freaks and perverts. It is just clothes.

36) Do you have bouts of depression or sadness because of CDing? Why do you think you do? What helps you? Is there anything we can do?
Yes sometimes. Anger takes over when I think about the fact I am a "normal" person but a high percentage think I am not? I don't steal, I am an honest caring person, I am helpful and I care about things. It does not matter what I wear. It took me a long time to realize that I am a good person, always have been and if I am in a skirt or chinos or jeans, that does not change. Now my bouts of depression are from other sources and changing clothes helps relieve it.
