Being a masculine woman...

Spot on Jamie,me, and I’m sure many here share your thoughts.

Why can’t we have our cake and eat it too. As long as you can have your cake and skinny jeans too😍

We are lucky, allowing ourselves to enjoy our masculinity and femininity.

Crossdressers are truly enlightened, even if I do say so myself 😂

It is hard and definitely something that we need to face. It isn't easy, but there is something to being a man or a woman and more and more terms are opening up that perfectly define that. Non-binary, genderfluid, there's no need to try and squeeze yourself into one of the two boxes, feminine or masculine, especially if those don't fit who you are.

Recently I've started to abandon "masculine" and "feminine" labels, because to be honest, people fit into both categories all the time. In my birth country (Pakistan), a girl who has a job is considered progressive, not masculine. But a man there who stays at home and takes care of the kids is considered "feminine". So I prefer to just keep labels out of it.

Being a full time woman is really a mindset and you can do it, it's totally possible. Just remember to do it your OWN way and not based off of what you see on television, because most cis women don't even look like that in real life.

Thanks Bianca, we are enlightened and it’s wonderful to embrace both sides and walk in the middle of the road.  I’m happy with doing both, as a man I’m a military, biker, mechanic type guy who likes to drink and curse, and as a woman I’m softer and enjoy finer things and just feeling pretty.  I’m completely happy with both sides!  Just wish there was that x-pill that could switch me back and forth so the clothes would fit better, lol.

I’ve never really been a fan of skinny jeans, but I might try some now.  Although as a guy, I love rock and roll denim, low rise boot cut jeans.  My ass looks great in them and they feel a little more feminine being low riders.

The pill idea is a great fantasy. Lots of fan fiction written on that very subject. I have found that once I embraced my femininity I took much better care of myself. Eating better, skin care, better man cloths, etc. I make a much better looking man than I ever did before. My S.O. has always noted how fem she thought I behaved. Sensitivity, compassion, empathy. I use to hate it when she did that. But now I recognize it as just who I am. I still fix things around the house. Do the man things but just really enjoy the finer things. To say that there are 2 sides to me would not be correct. I would say there is the bowl of soup that makes up me. I am all those ingredient's and I am a hardy bowl of soup!

Jamie we are what we are, most CDs reach a point where we are comfortable being feminine or masculine when we choose.
We have all learned to entwine both aspects of our lifestyles, and to enjoy many activities which other way we dress.
Life is to be enjoyed, why should we have to decide or even want to erode parts of it because of labels.

Thanks for sharing Jamie.

I have always been a distance runner so always slim. A bit ‘weedy’ for a man but it really helped when the Bianca in me was allowed out to play. Skinny jeans just suit me, and women’s are soooo much better. Little pockets don’t interrupt the silhouette, and they just fit in all the right places, and help tuck the Crown Jewels away🤣 Even the embellishments on the the pockets are better. Little differences but a huge difference. Jeans are just so versatile, male and female, like us❤️

There are a million different jeans out there, and your go to, low rise boot cut, sound fantastic. Now I want a pair, and boots🤣any excuse!

Hi Jamie, great minds must think alike, I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while myself. My life revolves around lots of muscular things that I enjoy, I’m a mechanic (seems to be a few mechanics who are cross dressers, might have to run a poll),  I love 60s and 70s muscle cars, work on the house, drink beer and all that kind of cool stuff.         I think Dani is a bit of a car chic, I love nice silky underwear and looking nice but rather wear nice tight jeans, a simple fem top and subtle make up. O and if anyone does find that special x-pill, please please please let me know where I can get some, I think finding this X-pill Should be up there with things like finding a vaccine for COVID.                        Dani👩🏻‍🔧

Perhaps you are androgynous, blending femininity and masculinity. Actually, the distinction between masculinity and femininity is often too artificial. Leadership is thought to be masculine and nurturing to be feminine. Sometimes being told (if you are female) not to be 'pushy' or (if male) not to be a 'sissy' is a form of unethical and inequitable sexism that we can do well without.

The idea is to be a good person and, frankly, most of us probably really know what is right from wrong. If you are doing your best trying to be a good person and want to be pretty at times … well isn't that a good thing too?

B,
Yoy are so lucky to still have a runners body.  I was like that until I hit 30 than just gained 50 lbs.  Now I'm up closer to 70 lbs from.my 20s.  I had the perfect figure back then and didn't take enough advantage to dress up.  But I was also in a small town in NC and married to a women who just didn't understand.
Anyways, I will have to find some skinny jeans and try them.  Maybe it'll help motivate me to loose all this weight too!  And yes, jeans are amazing for everyone.  Every girl needs some nice jeans to show off their ass and some good boots!  Maybe that's just the Texan in me too, lol.

Thanks for the reply Araminta!  It really does come down to just being a good person and liking who yoy are and accepting those around you.  I wouldn't say I am adrogynous though, I don't really bend the two parts together.  It's more like a switch.  I can be one or the other.  It's not so much the clothes as it is the attitude though.  I'm on here talking in the chat room while I'm at work.  In the chat I'm totally Jamie and loving every second taking to you girls.  But as far as my coworkers know, I'm still busting their chops and yelling at them and cracking jokes.  The clothes are more like a physical de-stresser while talking with yall us a mental one.  Hope that kind of makes sense.  Maybe in the future the two half will bend more, but as for right now I'm pretty happy the way they are.
Love, Jamie 💋

I haven't given up my male side, I like being male, I like male stuff

Trying to find a good balance has worked for me so far, I have been happier and more relaxed just accepting that I can be a little of both and present as either depending on the mood and weather

So more gender variant. I have noted, especially in my case, that the genders do cross-over as times go by. For example, from a fairly 'butch' boy, and relatively 'macho' as a young man being feminine has infused my masculine persona with 'softer' elements.

There is a theory that some forms of androgyny are indicative of a higher stability in that someone who can vary their gender can adapt to a wider range of situations. Essentially they have a wider range of emotional, social and behavioural tools.
