I have been a crossdresser for over 60 years, and have known, and had some associations with other CD'ers over those years. But it wasn't until after my dear totally supportive wife passed away 6 years ago that I found this forum! Although some of the things I have posted haven't been agreed upon I understand. We do not all think exactly alike, and probably never will. But in my mind we are one big family and I am very proud to be a member.
To answer the main questions: I post to a thread because I think I may have an answer to a question!! And I occasionally post a thread because I have a question!
I joined the forum because I am a Crossdresser. But I am one who dresses only because I like to, not because I wish to be a woman! I have never wanted to really become a woman, with or without a man!
