As you can see, lots of variation here and I'll throw mine into the pot...
I identify as bisexual and transgender. I claim transgender in that I do cross that line from male to female, only to return and get ready for the next time. I do not wish to cross that line and not return. I am comfortable as a male and increasingly so presenting as female. As far as presenting as female, at home it is from the neck down, and head to toe if going out. Usually during the week during the daytime, I underdress with either a thong or firm control shapewear briefs. I have a fair selection of casual and dressy feminine clothes.
On occasion when I am getting completely dressed, it does sometimes hit me that I am being a fraud. However, this feeling has always been quite brief and passes like indigestion. I don't dwell there and it goes away pretty quickly. However, it does seem that the feeling is happening less frequently these days and may be related to the reality that I am dressing more frequently these days.
Remember that the Human Mechanism has various ways in which it tries to mold our behavior and keep us "safe". For example, guilt is one way. For example, guilt may work to make us feel bad about dressing due to the potential probalems it may raise for our families. Taken as an extreme, it may get us to stop dressing altogether and that this could keep us "safe". But, for those who stop dressing for an extended period of time, they may experience an even stronger desire at some point in the future...
