The Power of Female Role Models: What Women Like Susanna Reid Represent to Me as a Crossdresser

There are moments that hit unexpectedly.

A TV presenter like Susanna Reid appears on screen—elegant, composed, effortlessly feminine—and I feel something stir deep within me. Holly Willoughby in a nice dress black tights and heels wow..

It’s not just admiration. It’s not simply attraction. It’s a longing. A yearning. A spark that connects with something at the core of myself.

For many crossdressers, female role models are more than just women we find beautiful. They represent something deeper: the freedom to express femininity openly. The confidence to walk through life in heels, perfectly styled, exuding grace and strength.

Watching women like Susanna—poised, stylish, intelligent—I feel a mix of emotions. I admire her, yes. But I also want to feel how she must feel, to be what she represents, even just for a moment.

There’s something magical about the ritual of femininity. The care in choosing an outfit, the delicate sweep of mascara, the soft mist of perfume that lingers like a whisper.

When I see women in full expression of their femininity, it reminds me why crossdressing is more than clothes. It’s escapism. It’s affirmation. It’s joy.

And yes, sometimes it brings a twinge of jealousy. Not out of bitterness, but because I wish I could express that same side of myself without fear or judgment. I wish I could be Davina more often.

Female role models like Susanna Reid aren’t just style icons or TV personalities. For someone like me, they’re reminders of what’s possible. They give shape to Davina’s personality and poses / mannerisms. They’re silent encouragers whispering, “Go ahead. dress like me, you know you want to.. Be her. She’s part of you.”

So here’s to the women we admire.

The ones who unknowingly inspire us to be more ourselves.

The ones who remind us that femininity is powerful, expressive, and something to be celebrated—wherever you fall on the spectrum.
