well statistics show that practically all MtF crossdress from very early and I've seen but don't believe that 50% of all males try crossdressing so you're definitely in there somewhere but you need to talk your life things through back and forward with a therapist to try decide where you are on the spectrum.

I crossed dressed for a very long time before I finally came to the conclusion I am transgendered.  Only you can answer that question about yourself and certainly a therapist can help you do that.

Wow. I'm going through the same issue too. I don't know if I'm really just a CDer or if I'm actually TG or TS. But it's leaning towards trans. Ahh these damn subcategories! Stupid Taxonomy.

Does it help to know that when i first began cross-dressing about 3 years ago, i was asked by a girl in a salon if i was going to be a full-time female. I knew the answer to this one...no... so, thinking on my feet, i said that it was a bit like having an internal mirror, that you could turn first one way, and then the other.
I liked the idea, and that is how i've thought of myself ever since. It also means that i give myself permission to dress as i feel on the day, without having to go through paroxysms of anxiety about looking 'convincing'. or wondering whether i'm being 'read'. You always are, anyway...

That help?
