Unless you have been reading threads in the TS section I'm surprised that you have gotten the impression that CDs want to "live as women". The very definition of a CD is that the clothes come off to reveal a man with a male persona, identity, and life. I think it is somewhat common for CDs to progress to some extent in their CDing like from closet at home dressing to going out to a club with some other CDs but that is it and many have to curb their desires for pubic appearances to placate a significant other so they don't even do that much!
