Hi there,
I've been a crossdresser all my life. I started with pantyhose when I was 4 or 5. It was pretty innocent at the time.
As I got older I was drawn to other items of womens clothing. I went through the gambit of "who am I" and "why me". I thought I was a freak and thought since I liked womens clothes did that make me gay? I spent my youth self tortured and scared of what I might be.
I joined the military out of high school to try and force the girly stuff away. It stopped for a while but didn't make it go away.
I spent quite a bit of time coming to terms with who I am and my dressing. It makes me happy. I don't like makeup, nor do I try to pass as a women. Truthfully I just feel comfy and relaxed in skirts and lingerie. I'm not your average male, and I'm ok with it. My wife accepts this side of me and encourages it.
I figure what I do doesn't hurt anyone, and it makes me happy. I'll ping around the CD sections and hope to meet some like minded folks :)
Sadly I do not deliberate in your terms but if all shades were black and white -- Why do we have gray in the middle? It's fantastic to meet new people here and I hope you enjoy your stay and continue to be part of our ever flourishing HOME! :)
And also...Be yourself, love who you are and I know plenty of men who simply enjoy the ecstatic feeling and rush from feminine clothing. It doesn't make you odd or weird -- But more YOU...And at the end of the day that's the only person you can help and to be.

Thanks for the welcome :) I was given a link to some info here and I lurked a bit before joining. Getting the lay of the land etc.
I liked what I saw so I figured i'd join in. I wish CD/TG issues were more known when I was a kid. I may have saved myself from years of self torment as I sorted things out to get where I am today. Hopefully the internet will help some young people find an easier path.
