Why Choose a Female Name if you only dress in Woman's Clothes

[Miss Maxine]

I only dress in full enfemme about once a month, on average. I am actually working on legally changing my name to Maxine. I just really identify with the name. Sure, I'll be a bloke in a skirt with a feminine name, but I am more than okay with that. I've always felt like I was somewhere in between male and female, or perhaps an entirely different "third gender." Therefore, I feel that a feminine name would suit me, better.

I will repeat, there were beucoup people on the previous post who used the term to describe themselves as "Hell, No," when asked if they ever had any thoughts about going further with their Crossdressing. They described themselves as STRICTLY, heterosexual crossdressers who had NEVER considered any Fantasy's, nor felt any desire to actually move further toward The TS end of the spectrum.

The suggestion in that previous thread was that they secretly want to be female, i.e., they are really TS, but are in denial. The 'hell no' phrase originated with the OP, and those who responded simply agreed to it, rather than take issue with how it was phrased, like Nicole and I have done.

Our Originator of This Post saw the same thing I did. "Isn't it kind of odd, that people who have no desire (claimed,) to move toward The Transgendered End of The Spectrum should also choose to give themselves a Feminine Name.

Now you are switching from TS to TG. In the recent thread on that term, plenty of girls acknowledged being TG, as the term is defined. Some of us have a problem with the term itself, because we think it conflates crossdressers and transsexuals, which is exactly what you did above when you switched from TS to TG, as if the two are the same.

We had just numerous people claim that their persuasion was "Hell,No!" No ambivalent feelings, no Nothin' to mitigate their declaration!

Exactly. No ambivalent feelings on whether they want to take hormones or have their penis cut off. We have plenty of ambivalent feelings about our gender and how we express it, but we are quite firm (haha) in wanting to remain males, sexually.

Since there seems to be some "disconnect" between claiming "Hell, NO" and calling yourself Priscilla, or Whatever...

I think that's been pretty well explained at this point. Before I started talking to people online, it never occurred to me to use a girl name for that side of myself. Since I was using a pseudonym online anyway, and presenting myself en femme, it made sense to use a femme name. Only a few people in RL know my femme name, and with them it is a convenient code to talk about my crossdressing. "Sophie would like that dress," etc...

she simply asked All THOSE People "Why?" It's a fair question to ask I think.

It's a fair question, but it's been answered now. If you have an issue with our answers, raise it, but don't keep repeating the question as if we haven't said anything.

Did anyone have a "nick" name growing up. I mean this in the good sense. The other name reflected a part of who you were, but not all of what you were at that time. I have a "nick" name and I use it on this site, and it does the same thing that the old "nick" names did when I was a kid.

Sorry I missed this post a couple of days ago. Yes, I had a nick name growing up. All the other kids would call me faggott.

What a coincidence! That was my nickname, too!
