I posted a thread earlier in the week called 'Finding myself'. In it a guy called Alex was describing his journey of discovery. It was interesting that Emma felt that he wasn't a 'Davina' type crossdresser. I've read Alex's posts over the years and know that as Emily he was very much a 'Davina' type crossdresser, however, his journey has changed overtime and it was quite a revelation to read his post. The Christams party was full on Emily but at work it was different.

I was particularly interested in how he now chose to dress in public. It wasn't the full on 'Davina' type crossdressing but maybe a mix and match betweem traditional male and female clothes. A shirt with boxers underneath just wouldn't suit a "Davina' type crossdress, especially when combined with a male 'geeky' t shirts.

I think that is really demonstrates that we are a broad church from the occassional 'panite' wearer to the crossdresser who sends 24/7 dressed as a woman.

I don't think Aex is in another place on the trans spectrum, he's still want to live as a male he just adds feminine clothing to his everyday outfits. I guess as a young man he can probably get away with it to a degree as people tend to be more tolerant of the young but I was wondering what clothing could actually become androgenous. I saw that some of the men had gone out to blend in skinny jeans and boots. Are these acceptable, borderline or just plain women's clothes?

I also think that the motivation to crossdress is different between us. Lingerie is that part that makes me feel femnine and was the drive from as early as I can remember but just wearing knickers under a suit doesn't appeal. I couldn't wear a skirt with boxers as it just wouldn't work for me.

It's a funny old worl. I just wondered haw far up and odwn the scale you might feel is accepatble?
