Debunking: "I like women's clothes"

[Stephanie47]

which by the way doesn't make sense if these are the only reasons, because men's clothes also come in silk, cashmere, fine woven soft wools, top grade cottons, and also in a wide array of colors.

Can anyone tell me why some CDers don't give themselves deeper reasons than just "I think that women's clothes are nicer"?

I've never accepted the premises that a man would dress up entirely en femme, from wig and makeup down to hosiery and heels and everything in between, because he likes the feel, color choices, styles of women's clothing. The ongoing non acceptance by family and society, potential loss of job, basically everything a man wants in his life is inherent to cross dressing. Although I have accepted myself I still will affirm life would have been in the past and will be easier in the future, if I was not a cross dresser.

Do I think the clothes women wear are nicer, sexier, etc, than men's clothing? Yes and No! When I was working I always did my best to present myself as a well dressed and groomed man. Dressed as a woman I try to do the same. Women's undergarments, especially slips, are sexier than anything a man can find available in men's wear. My wife just shook her head when she found one of my red bras. Try to explain to yourself or your wife that you like wearing a bra because you like the feel of women's clothing. Pure BS in my opinion. I know some have disagreed with my affirmation that I consider wearing panties only as a fetish and not true cross dressing. Trying to emulate a woman by just wearing panties? To me it does not compute!

I think saying as a cross dresser I just like the feel or look of the clothing is some sort of self denial. Now, I do not really have a clue why I like to emulate women. I never was 'feminized' by an older sister or cousin or aunt or my mother. I have no excuse. I have no reason. I don't know why.

Years ago my wife did buy me men's underpants and lounging pants in sensuous fabrics. It is not work. It's not the same as women's clothing. She bought a length of lingerie fabric to rub over my body in bed in lieu of a nylon gown. It did not work. It wasn't the same.

I just like appearing as a woman. Why? I suspect to escape the world of a man. No, I would not really want to bear and rear children. I would not want to be paid less than a man for equal work. Yada, yada, yada. When a woman says she would have like to be a man in a man's world, she really is not talking about taking the garbage out, mowing the lawn, crawling under the house to defrost the pipes, shovel snow, etc.
