Many people who want to start experimenting with cross dressing (I actually really dislike that term because it implies that I am wearing clothing that is designed for a different gender than what I am, but the fact is, I am female, and therefore there is no "cross dressing". It is wearing what I should be wearing.) but anyway..........A lot of times, I feel like people tend to "over dress" and try to wear too much. I don't want to look like a drag queen. I just want to wear normal, comfortable girls clothes. When playing around with different clothing items, I used to overdress a little. Or felt like I wanted to wear nothing but skirts and dresses because those were the more obvious "female" clothing items. However, now after dressing in girls clothes at home for the past 20 something years (I am 36) I have kind of evolved to where I have a collection of cute shirts and leggings and things that I LOVE to wear because they are just so comfortable.
And when I go out in public, if I wear shorts, I wear girls shorts that don't necesarilly look like girls shorts, but I know they are, and that makes me happy. And knowing that I ALWAYS have very girly, simple cotton panties on underneath, makes me feel better too. Also, I recently got both of my ears pierced and currently have cute little diamond studs in my ears that makes me feel a little more feminine.
There are so many things you can do for yourself, to feel better about yourself little steps at a time without totally overdoing it. I want nothing more in the world than to be feminine looking enough that I can get away with going out in public wearing whatever cute, comfortable clothes I want to, without anybody questioning it. I just want so bad to be a true girl!!!! But for now, I dress comfortably at home as much as I can. The instant I get home, I take my nasty boys clothes off, and put my girls clothes on, and go to work or hang out with my wife and daughter, and they are quite used to it. Once in a while our almost 5 year old daughter tells me "Daddy, you look like mommy" to which I say "Well, thank you!" And her mom explains to her that it is okay for men to wear those same clothes. We are trying to raise her to be open minded and not place gender restrictions on herself or others.
