Super Sweet Special Secret 💓💓💓

I did try to write down a few notes by which I might organize my thoughts on cross-dressing and the related motives. It ended up being a 377-page book on terminology, meaning, cross-dressing and related topics. In it I found that my ideas were radically altered. It is also now outdated as I have further developed some aspects. It took 9-years and was sufficiently tiring that I have not felt strongly motivated to write anything of substance since.

thank you for the advise sweetie, i will try to write and then i tell all of you what happens with my process of recognition of my feminine identity, hugs and kisses a lot Felicity

Something that I forgot to mention is that in all of the studies, papers, books, opinions, theses, etc. that I referred to the most important material I found was the anecdotal details provided by gender variant persons. They did not always fully comprehend what was happening or what it meant and they often lacked a vocabulary to express themselves. This does not mean that they were unlearned or lacking in reasoning skills but that the lack of meaningful, available and fulsome discussion simply was not available until about 1998 or so. It was simply difficult to express themselves without the lexiconic background necessary to any focused examination. It was the cumulative effect that was important and I am surprised that apparently no serious and experienced researcher has not gleaned the consensus views that are available and evaluated them.

Expressing yourself is important and forums such as these offer a wealth of insight if you are willing to wade through them. For example, similar experiences entered into in similar ways and reacted to similarly are evidence that these experiences are not isolated incidents but representative that is grounded in our being as humans. Blogs, vlogs, journals and just simple statements are important to enlightenment.

One problem is the difficulty is searching on-line. I have seen similar questions receiving groans and, "Oh, no! Not that question again!?", responses but things get buried, lost or just disappear while the questions remain relevant. Bringing out the 'same old' topic again is often useful.

very ironic you say that, because I have been a "writer" for any years.

I have done everything from personal journals, just for me, to professional writing blogs where I was getting paid for it.

I have volumes fo everything from life to work to personal, and recently went back to my writings of the late 80's and early 90's only to find, that what I wanted then, personally,  I still very much the same as I still want!

It's best sometime to write it all down, read it three times, and then never mail/text/email it... ever!

But being a contrarian, sometimes the BEST things i've ever written or expressed came from brutal honestly and just hitting the send button without looking back.

I know, talking out of both sides of my mouth!?!

But there is always a never AND sometimes an always.

Just go for it!!!
