i think after 40yrs or so ive maybe reached a point where i almost understand and accept it.
Long gone are the days when i got any sort of "buzz" from the feel of the materials etc on my skin,
Nowadays Ive identified and categorised it as a "hobby" i enjoy..
Much like restoring old cars or stamp collecting, just more glamorous..
I get the same enjoyment from making a good job of my make up, and looking good in a dress and heels
as i do from having a good round of golf or watching my team (dundee united) play.
While dressed it gives me a few hours of some sort or escapism/stress relief from daily life again much like a few hours on a golf course.
When its time to go back to normal life i put Kim away again, and return "home" refreshed.
Maybe im the Tiger Woods of crossdressers, or im just weird...
Tiger btw would make a terrible tranny, even bigger shoulders than me...
Has anyone else identified reasons and come to peace with it all, please share?
Hi Kimberley
Bizarrely, I think I would be at greater peace with it if more people knew. I get most stress relief when I can indulge as Emma when I’m away from home because I am not worried about someone coming home at an unexpected time And I know I have cleared away all traces of make up etc
But then I feel bad knowing that my wife doesn’t know - essentially she doesn’t know I venture out as Emma - don’t do anything naughty hasten to add.
Now she doesnt really want to engage in it so you could say that should be that - but we share and talk about everything else (I don’t think she’s A drag king 😯) so the not sharing is the stresser for me. I think that might be why the need to dress ebbs and flows, it is both a stress reliever but also a stress inducer.
Does that make any kind of sense?!
