It's a common myth that crossdressing is a step to transition and surgery and it is sometimes perpetuated on this forum. This is why our wives ask the question.
I think that for most of us there is no "progression" except that we get better at choosing clothing, makeup, wigs, etc. We are crossdressers, plain and simple. We put on our stuff for a while, then revert back to the men that we are and fix the plumbing or the car and do our male thing in the bedroom. Having been on this forum for a while, I know that many of us have been crossdressers for twenty or thirty years or more and not made a move towards transition.
We could do ourselves and our crossdressing friends a big favor by not perpetuating this myth.
