Part of the problem with crossdressing is that it is just flat confusing to a lot of people. I mean I have been crossdressing in some fashion for almost 40 years and I’m confused by it. If I am confused by it, what in the world are others supposed to think about it? It seems easier for people to understand being gay, or even effeminate gay men and butch lesbians. However, trying to understand why a straight cis man finds joy/pleasure in wearing womens clothes and presenting themselves as female is just difficult for some people to wrap the brain around. I don’t know that many of them are intentionally biggoted toward crossdressers, but they just can’t comprehend why we do it.
When I am asked about some of the things that I do, my best answer is because I like it. That answer in and of itself should be sufficent, but it is still a struggle for me to understand why it is that I like it so much. I have always said no one would choose to be like this. It’s not a decision that I made. Life would generally have been easier and with less stress if I was not like this. But that’s just not my reality.
