Reply To: what makes you want to dress up

[Joanne Watters]

I agree with everything I have read, they all apply but the best one I read compared getting dressed up as an addiction. That’s exactly what it was for me over the years, when I was dressed I was fine but when the time came to go back to being a male again, I would dread it & start planning my next dress up session. Then, just like a drug, when I would dress up, I would find myself wanting to do noticeable things to myself to make me look more like a woman, I tried fighting this urge but eventually it won out & I went out & had my ears pierced & my eyebrows waxed into ultra thin, arched lines, this did not sit well with my wife at the time, a few weeks later & I had my shoulder length hair styled into a feminine look & I got acrylic nails applied. By this point I was wearing panties, bra & pantyhose all of the time even under my work clothes, then I stopped wearing socks & started wearing makeup all of the time, that’s when my wife left me. Everything that happened to me in the past never stopped me from wanting to be a woman, in fact it made me the woman I am today.
