I did but not the way most people think of cross-dressing.

I noticed some men's clothing was uncomfortable, rough, and scratchy, and I didn't like it. I was shopping for long underwear, getting ready for some winter gold prospecting. The men's were so over-priced I decided to not buy them. As I was leaving to go to a different store, I passed a display for women's thermal undershirts. They felt so soft and lightweight, and cost less than the men's thermals, so I bought two.

I was delighted with how they fit, felt, and kept me warm. It never occurred to me that it might be considered cross-dressing. After getting and finally accepting my diagnosis of GD, I began to experiment. I was so amazed at how comfortable women's clothing was compared to men's. They fit better, felt nice on the skin, and had pretty colors or patterns. Why hadn't I considered this before?

Well, I know why. I was so caught up in being the manly man, it would have been unthinkable.

I am familiar with PCBs, but 20 layers. Wow
That would be difficult to track. If you find the issue, how do you fix it? A new board? Or is the problem in one of the components or their socket?

I started old school with discreet components. I liked the concept of being able to put 30 - 50 transistors in a single chip, but that just meant replacing the whole IC chip. You are doing design, so I see how that could be pressure, then piling the stress of deadlines on top. I don't blame you. Just try to take your breaks and chill as much as possible. Do a Sudoku puzzle or something on your phone to give your brain a break. Then attack it fresh.

I wish I could be there to help out. A) hug you and remind you that you got this and B) because I would be fascinated by some newer tech. I haven't worked in electronics in about 20 years, but I love it!

Hang tough, Sis.

Nope, I can remember a lot more of my younger years now. The years when I knew I was a girl and had it bashed out of me (not physically) and I can safely say I dressed as a girl whenever I could until it was found out and shut down. I was never a cross dresser.

I did  .. minimal, hidden, barely enough to be considered a cross-dresser by definition. The desire to dress differently was there yet not realized. I had no awareness of being trans at that time. My becoming self-aware had nothing to do with how I dressed, or even conscious thought for that matter.

That's the same advise I get from my friends. Thank you

It's work pressures, I have been under great stress to finish the design and layout of a new processing PCB for the optical comms satellite. But at the same time I have to work in commercial to make money.

The PCB has been built and has some errors due to oversight caused by the stresses and I am having difficulty fixing them due to the extreme density of the board and most of the tracking not visible due to them spread over 20 layers.

Now I am under extreme pressure to come up with fixes.

Do you like to eat oranges?  I enjoy Cara Cara oranges.
I also enjoy Mandarin oranges.  Also, some Naval oranges.

Were you cross dressing before you realized you were transgender (MTF)?

Many are transgender.  However, many simply remain only as crossdressers.  Which are you and when did you know for sure what you were (transgender or cross dresser only)?

Note that if you are MTF or FTM, if you dress in your gender conforming clothes, you are not actually crossdressing.  At least, I do not think so.
