Hi Holly
I am a generally nice person anyway but as a male I dont suffer fools gladly and can be very opinionated.
When I am En Femme I am so happy, comfortable, relaxed and all round loving and nice & Sweet (Hence my name lol)

Oh yes, the feeling of sleeping in a silkie nightie is wonderful, almost as good as when you wake up in one. I also like to wear 10d glossy tights under it and the feeling of joy in the morning is overwhelming. If you haven’t yet, I suggest you try it.

Great article hun. I know I’ve thought of this same thing many times. As I’ve cleaned the whole house from top to bottom fully dressed and wearing heels. My sister in law asks me “how do you do that in heels, I’d break my neck cleaning in those. My wife and I get a laugh from it but it’s so true. I do all the laundry, almost all of the cooking and we both clean the house but when I do or can. ( kids not home). I find it so much more enjoyable doing any of these tasks while en femme. At certain times I’ll take off my heels but stay dressed to finish things but always go back to putting my heels back on. As far a cis gendered woman I can’t see them doing it in a skirt let alone a pair of heels. I think it’s because they can wear femme things at any time but for us as crossdresses we want or should I say need to dress like this as it puts us in a better place then in our drab male things. Well that’s my take on it anyway.
Hi Ashley
Its good to know I am not the only one, and you are correct, my wife doesn’t wear heels to do her housework, mainly leggings and flats. Its up to me to inject the glamour into daily chores LOL
Thank you for your article, Jo Jo.
To answer your questions:
My days start early, and being a plus size girl, I wear shape wear, in addition to the usual feminine under garments, so at the end of a long day, like any female, I am very glad to shed all my clothing and feel relief. My wife has always felt close to me,
because she knows I experience the same feelings women do when wearing female wardrobe items, shoes, make up, shape wear, pantyhose, etc.
I would not say I have a different “personality,” when I cross dress, but I certainly act
and dress like a lady. For example, my interaction with men is completely different, when I am cross dressed. I allow men to treat me like a lady, when I am cross dressed. A good example is those nasty shopping buggies in grocery stores, which are always jammed together. As a guy, I will try to pull them apart. When I am cross dressed, I will act a little helpless, until a male employee or a male customer pulls
the buggies apart for me.
Walking is another big one. Years ago, I was a member of a CD group where a couple of the members looked and acted more male than female. It was reflected in
the way they walked too. They looked like football players walking down the playing
field. Needless to say, when cross dressed, we should walk as graceful ladies.
Thank you again for your article, Jo Jo.
Thanks for your take on the situation. Its great to be a girl isnt it
Well can certainly relate to your history and current things sweetie. I do most things about the house en femme and in shape wear as well as shopping and errands. I do have a small bit of personality change as well and love being kinder, more respectful, and playful.
Oooh shapewear, I love it. ❤️
Jojo, thank you for sharing your experience. One of the reasons I love this website, it gives us experiences that like minded “ladies” to which we can truly relate, I too during Leonara time will do housework. Depending on the “pink fog” I will dress with either 1)skinny boots and a blouse… this time instead of girly flats I wore my 3” ankle boots!! Or 2) there is nothing like vacuuming wearing a skater skirt in 3” strappy heels lol…
thank you for your article, I just thought to let you know, you are not alone
Happy Holidays to you and your family and to all the lovely ladies here at CDH
Warmest Regards. Leonara
Hi Leonara. Thanks for your reply it really is good to connect with lileminded souls.xx
Jojo I clean the house almost everytime I dress. Kind of an agree with my wife. I love doing so in heels. You walk differently. My hips sway and all those short steps. Trying not to expose too much when you bend or squat. Sweeping into a dust pan and getting the laundry out of the machine are so different when a bra and forms are involved. But I wouldn’t change it. The feelings of doing “woman’s work” while dressed is a blast. And it sure beats cleaning in boy mode.
JoJo — Thank you so much for sharing your article. I hardly notice medium high heels when I’m out and about or doing housework. I might not be inclined to work much if I’m wearing 4 inch heels .
If I am dressed for couple days or more, it does feel more natural and the thought of living as a female seems more appealing if not realistic. But when I am back in male mode–typically for work–the idea of transitioning doesn’t pull as strongly on my psyche. Deep down I like a lot of guy stuff, too, even if I am probably mentally 50-50 much of the time.
Also great to hear how much fun you and your wife have with cross-dressing and lingerie. Humor and intimacy go great together!
I agree it would be heartbreaking to ruin a nice outfit doing a heavy work-related task. You might consider adding some feminine clothes just for doing those male activities, While i love dressing, i really love doing everyday normal things while dressed. Afterall no one dresses nice to wash the car.
Hi Roberta, I get a sulk on if I ladder my tights so won’t risk any male type jobs lol.xx
Lovely article, thanks for sharing
Thanks Amanda, xx
I do agree, once dressed who wants to change? The practical side in me, though says to just change shoes to a lower and more comfortable heel.
I do love wear stiletto heels, but my feet and body just aren’t adjusted to them since I don’t wear them often. If I am going to wear a nice dress and sip wine around the house, then I put on some black pumps with three inch heels, but if going out, or planning on walking around the house preparing dinner or some such thing, then I wear a lower, more comfortable heel. If I know the evening is going to end in wear just stockings and lingerie, then the high heels are a must…comfort be damned.
Thanks for the article. Yes, I too am reluctant to change back into male clothes from my female clothes. Yes, if there are some jobs to do and I’m dressed, like you I’ll try to do them in heels if I’m wearing them. I have a couple of pairs of 4in heels but I have a hard time with them so I usually stick to my 3in kitten heels or my suade ankle boots.
I love wearing dresses, skirts and Lingerie, stockings & suspenders/ tights with a dress or skirt. I have a lot of Lingerie and I’d buy more if I coud afford to (or had the space to store it all). There’s some absolutely beautiful things to be had but it’s getting expensive these days for Lingerie sets.
I just bought a beautiful floral print dress today. It’s the most expensive dress I’ve bought so far, (£50:00). I couldn’t help myself when I saw it in the John Lewis sale, I’ve been pretty good this year so it was a Christmas present for me. I loved looking at all the girly things when Christmas shopping today, nobody batted an eyelid.
Most of my female clothes were really cheap in sales and on line, second hand on ebay or bought in charity shops.
I do exhibit some female characteristics when dressed but it’s about how I stand and walk, sit, body movement, not so much my voice. I try not to exaggerate but it’s easy to get carried away. I’m definitely happier and more relaxed in female clothes and I would go enfem more if I could get away with it but not 24,7.
I’d love to go out dressed but that would take military planning and it would be expensive for me to do so. I’d have to get a make over done and have somewhere to stay in another city as I wouldn’t do it in my home town and I’d want the entire day and night for the experience. My wife knows about my dressing but isn’t supportive and disapproves.
Hi Bee Dee
I am renovating my place in France with the intent to make it somewhere that cross dressers can come for hols or short breaks and dress in comfort as much or as little as they would like. We (My wife & I) hope to be ready to open for summer 2024 or earlier if possible. It may be the ideal place for someone in your position.
Maybe see you in 2024
xxxx JoJo
when i have the time and chance to dress up i wear 2-inch heels, nothing like hearing the sound of the heels hitting the floor it so sexy. 3-inch heels are very hard to walk on, flats or nothing it’s like wearing sneakers in a dress. if you are going to dress up might as well go all the way with it wear 2-inch heels
That is awesome that we can share this awesome experience with the other women in our life
Like you and probably most others, I think more about transitioning when I am en femme. Of course, I am en femme because I am in the mood to feel like a woman, so it makes sense that I would feel more inclined to want to transition when I’m already in that mood.
I’m not entirely stable on 4 inch stiletto heels. I do OK but I also don’t move around much when I wear them. I would not want to do chores wearing them!
I have a similar problem with long nails, though. Even simple things suddenly bring up a big chance of losing the nail! Maybe that’s my fault for wearing cheap press-on nails, though. I should think about growing mine out for real next year……
JoJo –
Thanks for the article.
When I have the opportunity I will do housework while dressed. I enjoy the days I can dress and change the sheets, do laundry, vacuum and dust. I will wear my pumps or block heel shoes when doing that, sometimes flats or sandals, all depends on what I’m wearing. I’m usually in a skirt and blouse or dress so heels are more appropriate in my opinion. Depending on the time of year and amount of time I have I will also wear shapewear and pantyhose or stockings and garter belt.
I enjoy doing those tasks when dressed as I feel it enhances my femininity. It is also the only chance I have to do Suzanne’s laundry.
XOXO
Suzanne
I see lots of similarities in myself here…When I’m dressed, I am a whole different person. A bit free of the everyday life worries and stress – in fact it is a huge de-stresser for me…I can be whoever I want!:) But I do need those long periods of just being a guy out in the world, too…It’s scary to think that I would need to change my whole life after 40 something years to be Michelle…:( So she stays in the closet for now and comes out every opportunity I have…I’ve been doing this myself for years and finally, I am ready to meet a like-minded or open-minded person to explore my feminine side with…Still under wraps and in the closet but at least not alone; hopefully:)
I agree that being dressed is a great stress reliever. Whenever I start to show signs of being stressed with work or anything when in male mode, my wife will pour me a glass of wine and tell me to go and get Jojo. It works Lol,xx
You’re soooo lucky to have a wife like that!:)
Thanks I do appreciate your comment.xx jojo
Lucky you!
Jo Jo you have descibed me to a T
Thanks, we probably share more feelings with other girls than we realise, xx
I’ve been transitioning for the last year and a quarter.
Yes I’m trans. I’m on hormones etc
But the work I do requires that often I need to wear something I don’t care if it gets destroyed . So i don’t present that openly at work as the apparel I have which I don’t care about is left over male items. I have for quite sometime been considering a career change but actually like what I do. (Usually) even though it beats the crap out of me sometimes.
So I’ve simply been looking at wardrobe additions that will allow me some less han flattering work clothes that I don’t mind if they get greasy, rusty, torn, etc
I just wish they where as cheep as male apparel.
Also there’s the pocket issue so that limits the selection also.
But I fully understand that sometimes you just want to look nice and heals won’t work for your job.
On a side note. I did see a pair of high heeled open toe timberlands a while back if that helps.
Wondering if steel toe is an option?
Hi Phoebe, you are right about the jeans. I recently bought my first pair of ladies jeans and never knew they had such shallow pockets.
Yes, it’s been over a month for me sense my daughter came home from college and my son never leaves the house. I fantasize all day that I’m wearing my outfits. Wife and I are gunna have to start taking “us” weekends together. Got one scheduled for January.
Hang in there and don’t get too dispondant.xx jojo
Hi JoJo, thank you for a great article! I agree you are fortunate. My wife would not allow Brielle access to the bedroom and my decision to transition was the last in a long line of conflicts that is ending our marriage this winter, after over 41 years. It’s funny, I was always like others when it came to heels. Never had any shoes that had less than a 4″ stiletto. But this last year, maybe it is that I am transitioning, but I now wear lower heels and have my new favorite shoes – gladiator sandals with a back zip. If I could wear them year-round I would, but Pittsburgh in -5 temperatures won’t allow it, even indoors! (giggle).
Some of us need the heels to soften the leg line, but I found I actually walk more feminine in them. It’s easier to lead with the thigh and add a bit of wiggle. Or maybe it’s just beginning to live en femme more and more, idk.
Hugs,
Brie
Hi Brielle, it saddens me when I hear about marriages ending due to issues with expressing femininity so I feel for you. I hope the transition goes well and keep us updated. Love xxx jojo
Hi Jojo, thanks, but there were a lot of other problems that would have brought us to the same point eventually. The transitioning may have sped up things a little. At least I’ve found my true self and allowed her to blossom, which is such a benefit it makes the separation bearable. My wife and I are committed to be good friends after we get past the initial trauma. She at least is supportive of my transition journey.
Hugs,
Brie
More And more lol. Xxjojo
It’s great to have supportive wives. Never stop loving her.xx jojo
I totally understand your reluctance to remove female garb. For you it is heels, for me a bra. The last thing I remove after days out as Rhonda is my nail polish. I wait until the very last minute to do this, and sometimes that proves awkward, as I forget I have polish on before needing to meet someone or perhaps remove clothes for a massage or whatever. I now leave toenail polish on for all such things, even when going to the beach or dipping into a jacuzzi. I have started wondering lately as to whether I can manage to continue wearing female garb if/when assigned to assisted living quarters where others may dress me, and I would be visible to caretakers and other residents, and visiting friends and family.
Taking off any item of clothing or makeup is always difficult for me.
I cannot speak personally to your desire to transition. I personally enjoy being able to express both my feminine and masculine sides, although my choice would be to wear female garb whenever possible without causing issues. I would say that I believe your thoughts of transition have come later than most with whom I have been acquainted. Most who transition believe they were born female and relate stories of knowing this almost as soon as they develop self-awareness and memories… age 6 or earlier is typical. Crossdressers typically find themselves irresistably attracted to female garb or makeup circa age 12-13. There is a broad range and mileage varies, but age 9 is, I think, on the late side for a biological male to first identify as female and on the early side for one to become irresistably attracted to female attire, although a great many crossdressers do have earlier experiences crossdressing.
You are extremely blessed to have such a supportive wife, especially one who I gather is accepting of your thoughts to transition!
Hi there! I loved the article. I too work in the trades while I do underdress almost daily ( especially with the cold) I know I can’t transition yet for my work. The men there have continually made vulgar comments on anyone transitioning or gay for that matter. I’ve been teased a lot too and I am not “out of the closet” My wife knows about it all but made me choose. There is no middle ground though I wear a bra once in awhile around her (I always wear panties) I am glad everything is working out for you!
Yes, I am always reluctant to take off my female things, I always want to leave them on longer. Yes to the other questions too, Catharine smiles and is happy. Male me isn’t like that. Thank you for the article. Congratulations on having such a wonderful wife.
Hi Jo Jo. Great article and yes, I am that sucker for heals, unloading a full car on a steep slope in the rain in 4” heals wondering if any sane women would be doing this … but i took to heals like a duck to water. I confess there are times I take my wig off when I am changing … sometimes I think I am a cross changer … part of the learning i guess … and I get this incomplete feeling. Not sure on being laid to rest … open or closed casket – lol. Jokes aside I am curious about the effect on one’s personality, I am grappling with this. I would say it does effect me but is it the cross dressing that changes the personality or the change in personality that affects the cross dressing. I liked your thought on “it’s a need” not “a want” – thanks.
Hi JoJo,
I am retired now, but I am can’t seem to do any ‘good’ housework in drab, what I do is kind of half assed, but when I am dressed I do a fantastic job! It just feels right. I don’t think wearing a dress while pouring concrete would be a good thing, and especially not while wearing heels!
It’s amazing that I don’t feel complete when not wearing something female on a daily basis. My socks are female under wear are female my gloves are female. It’s a better day when these are apart of my day.
