Sigh. As a GG witnessing all this, my viewpoint is unlikely to be wanted. Was it ever?
But yes, you're dressing to excite yourself.
That said, by all means take the complicated path and tell yourself you dress to pass. Spend hours perfecting this. Neglect your job and relationships while you surf for women's clothes online and spend the rest of your time on this forum comparing hip pads and wig type. Remember also to tell them what color your panties are. Dress publicly as often as you can and, fingers crossed, soon enough you'll be taking hormones to become a 'real girl.'
Feel free to delete this post. I think I've been on this forum too long.
