It feels so right. Exercising my feminine grace, sharing my soul with a friend or stranger, working on being beautiful. Becoming a woman seems like the worthiest outcome of my efforts, and whenever I think about the necessary practice and perfection to get there it lights a smile inside my soul.
Yet for all my strong desires to be a woman, I go to work on Monday without a trace of the girl within me. I do not need to suffer the sacrifice so many transsexuals make when they transition. And I wonder, is my desire for womanhood just a fantasy that amuses me in my time away from real life?
My lovely wife has been wonderfully supportive. She’s shown more support than I dreamt I would receive. Yet, she loves me for the man I am, and I know that going further down the path to womanhood would mean that I lose the most precious thing in the world to me – the relationship I have with my wife.
Somehow, it feels false for me to split my time between being a man and a woman. It feels more whole to be a man on the journey to womanhood. That even though it is slow, each step is deliberate with a well known end goal. To set such a definitive direction would mean so many things, not least of which are many uncomfortable conversations with those I love.
Don’t misunderstand my confusion – I have come to terms with being transgender – I love and accept that part of myself, along with the many other talents and gifts God has blessed me with. Yet I still struggle with how to express it in a fulfilling way. Unless I have a clear path before me, I resist the necessary practice in the feminine ways that would take me closer to being a woman. If being transgender is part time, more of a ‘hobby’ than a lifestyle for me, how can I be fulfilled?

I’m glad I found cross dresser heaven.It’s very interesting and informative.I’m 63 years young and just had the guts to cross dress last year.I always thought I might enjoy wearing women’s clothes,but let my fear of “what will they say or what will they think of me if I do this".Any way,it’s great to be over my fears. I don’t feel like I want to be female or I was born as the wrong sex.I just feel like a man who wants to cross dress because it feels nice.My first experience happened on Halloween.I felt safe because we were going… Read more »

It seems that crossdressing is a truly, delightful pastime for so many of us. I live in New Zealand as a heterosexual ( I think )who spends most of his time in soft flowing woman’s clothing. An engineer working at home, either large black satin panties or a skirt are my usual garments in the shop. I even feel more at ease with heels built up on my work sandals. My question is why? Almost all my wardrobe is women’s, with the androgynous clothing for outside. I just like me. Thank you all for sharing, perhaps we are before our… Read more »
I’ve been crossdressing ever since I saw a womans pink panties shaowing at the back when bent down. Something uncontrollable happended to me inside and I just wanted run home and wear a panty and feel it against my skin. Crossdressing took hold of me since then when I must have been 8 or 10 and have been doing so for the past 60 years. Just couldn’t stop as the intensity incresed over the years. Still have to do it behind closed doors. Wife’s initial support is no longer there. Told me that I am now old and shouldn’t be… Read more »
Lovely, Samantha I too feel best, as i am now, dressed as a woman. My wife ridicules my love of feminine clothing, but she lives 300 miles away so there! She does hear the earrings banging against the phone on one of our frequent conversations, always asks about this with no reply. Yes, I too feel ecstatic with flowing satin against my skin, even though this is most of the time now. The thing is, I don’t feel any less of a man, my life sports and work are all ‘manly’. Does playing the piano, cooking, looking after my little… Read more »
