Thank you so much for your candid and detailed description of your experience.
It will certainly help me in putting together my own thoughts.
I know rather certainly that the urge to dress up will not get rid of me.
I am now trying to outwit the woman inside me.
I force myself to dress up whenever there is an opportunity, even when I totally don't feel like it.
The first results are: it's starting to make me more tired than attracted to it.
I'm sitting right now in a dress and makeup, so much so I'd like to go back to the male option, but decided: only before bed.
