I don't dress on Halloween simply because I don't want to do a "drag" portrayal. I prefer to dress normally and that doesn't make a good costume.
My SO also lost the taste for dressing on Halloween. She felt that she was dishonoring herself in the sense that her feminine self is not a costume nor does she want to turn herself into a costume ... her feminine self is part of who she is internally.
The crossdressing community is one that needs to stick together and continue to be there for each other for whatever one needs. We are always trying to improve the forum to better serve the crossdresser in all of us.
