Almost 80 responses and no answer to the original question. Why do some CDers reason that they dress just because they think that women's clothes are nicer? All the discussion thus far portrays many good reasons but not the one in question. Could it be simply because they choose to wear clothes that seem to them to be nicer than men's clothing?
In other threads, CDs who frequent this site have so stated. That being the case, why choose to "debunk" the real perception of someone who is offering their opinion based upon what they think. Just because you don't like the answer, Reine, does not make it untrue. Your whole premise seems to me to be more than a bit rude and condescending.
I AM a crossdresser; I AM qualified to make this assertion. I've been a CD at all sorts of levels for many years like others who have offered their sometimes well-studied opinions. Your perception of self and words used to describe it may well be set in stone. I can tell you from a lifetime of experience and personal interviews with many, many transgendered people that for many of us, our perception of self changes quite often.
