I've been crossdressing for most of my life without thinking much about why. What I seem to understand about it now is that it brings me closer to a feminine spirit in me that needs to be present. On quiet evenings after work, I slip into comfortable women's clothing and find it soothing and "right." Out in public I wear women's underwear under unisex-to-somewhat feminine clothing in public. I don't hide it, but don't flaunt it either. It's just who I am.

like most here it was never sexual for me.  I just felt like the clothes made me what I should have been.  20 some years ago I wanted to transition but because of family and marriage break up I stopped.  I crossdress some now but again cant go farther because of family.  I dream of having b cup breasts and a vaginia.  to be fully female.  I know this is a very late post but I just found this.  nice to know that I a am not a lone.

I've cross dressed all my life, I don't really know why.  It is just who I am, I guess.  And being fem and girly is just fun.  It used to sexual, but not any more.

I like looking pretty and girly. That's about it

I cross-dressed because I thought that clothes literally maketh the girl.

I just knew that I was a girl for as long as I can remember.  Until I was 8 I did not know that boys and girls had different privates, although when I was about 4, my mother said that I was a boy because of my teeth.  I really did think that it was only my clothes, hair and name that made me a boy, and that if I had long hair, a girl's name and above all, girls' clothes (and perhaps if I hid my teeth) there would be no difference at all between me and the other girls.  At first my cross-dressing took the form of me walking around naked while wearing my mother's head scarf, or sometimes wearing a towel as a dress, but when I was older I liked to try on my mother's clothes.

Even when I got older, I felt stongly that girls' and womens' clothes confirmed that I was female.  And isn't it great to twirl beautiful skirts?  I didn't and don't care what I look like dressed as a male, but dressed as a female it was important for me to try to look beautiful.  I lost much of that feeling in the last few years, but it's coming back now that life doesn't seem quite so hopeless.
