Thank you all for your replies, wow.
Helen, what you have described it's what I was trying to get across I.E I was born in the right body, I can use that.
Michelle sorry to here you position but if you manage it and are happy then that's all that matters.
Roxy, good way of putting it.
Carol, good for you.
Leonora. I like the way you put it, yes it is thrilling and I think that is a big driver for me. As for your wife the only way to know is to ask, if you are not happy maybe you should talk.
Samm, think you nailled it, my feelings are similar to yours and your wives to mine. It's more than just clothes is something I need to get across. As for being a bit of both, guy and girl, I am not sure. I don't have any female mannerisms and I am not really feminine. However my desire to dress up has lead me to want to explore being more feminine to complete the look so to speak. I don't want to be a guy in a dress behind a mask .
Alice, Very true.
Diane, simple way of putting it thanks.
Judy, ditto.
Kelly I thought you were going in a different direction with that one. I started off dressing as purely sexual, so to now want to go out dressed up abd meet others is a huge change, so it might happen again.
Jocelyn perfect explanation, thank you.
Frann, thanks for sharing.
Toni, diff situation but similar feelings.
Georgia. I am also very envious, how can they not realise how unfair it was wearing pretty things as the norn.
Karen, very similar feelings to mine.
Jen, the last part is so true and important. My wife is the best thing to happen to me.
Docrobsherry, my groups are a bit limiting I agree, as it's a spectrum there are unlimited possibilities I guess. What I am after is making it simple for my wife whilst being honest.
Stephanie, I have recently repeated all those quotes.
Sometimes_miss. Thank you for your insights and sharing your experiences.
Rochal, so true, everyone on here has helped me so much. Biggest thing I have taken from this site is to never forget to appreciate my wife.
Beverley, makes sense, if we enjoy and are good at it why not do it.
Sophie, your signature is perfect x
Thanks again all, I will try to explain it my wife again now I have some other ways of putting it.
