What Caused You to Become a Crossdresser?

I'm with you on this one, Tinkerbell. Men have feminine emotions and women have masculine emotions. It's just natural.

Can we really classify emotions as being either male or female? I believe that we all feel the full breadth of human emotion.

I once kicked in a wall (between the studs) with my heel, in anger over having found out my ex had had sex with another woman. I don't think that my emotions were male. I was just being an angry female.

Are men being female when they feel shy, for example? I think they are just being shy men.

... so I suggested I could wear one while we did THAT. She was a tiny bit apprehensive, but agreed. It did the trick. I didn't feel unmanly or gay afterward because I was playing a girl.

This is interesting. Dressing like a girl gave you permission to experience feelings that you did not think was OK for men to feel. Maybe this is what is different about some men who end up CDing .. they have a rather rigid, unforgiving view of what men must feel, so they construct a different persona in order to feel the full breadth of human emotion? I think it's OK for men to not feel macho.
