I am mtf, and when I was younger I used to cross dress frequently and found that it eased my gender dysphoria significantly. I stopped for many years because I got married and thought that would "fix" the dysphoria. It didn't and I recently came out to my wife. I went yesterday and bought some cotton panties. I have been wearing them for the last 24 hours and I just can't believe how much better I feel. It's so hard to believe that something as simple as a pair of underwear can make a big difference.

When I was going through puberty, I often dressed in my mother's intimates while no one was home, although I think my parents knew since I doubt I put everything back perfectly and I am sure I stretched out my mother's hose. I repressed my TG feelings for a long time. After I got married, I would buy pantyhose to dress in while I was away at conferences, but that made me feel ashamed and depressed, which I am sure was from my childhood experiences. I always did it though. Couldn't help myself. Now, I came out to my wife, but she will leave me if I CD, so I am left with the dilemma of dressing in secret or not. Anyway, definitely helps with my dysphoria, although it's never enough. If I wasn't going to upset my entire life and lose all of my relationships, I would transition to a woman in a second. The only thing that would eliminate my dysphoria totally would be to have breasts and a vagina.

While I don't present as a woman in public as yet, I am always wearing the jeans.  Not too much skinny ones but enough that make me feel comfortable.  I got rid of all my male undies and while I feel better in my fem ones, I haven't developed the hips enough to hold them up, lol - work in progress.

I feel much better when I have lingerie on.  It is me!.  I think if society allowed men to wear "female" garments as we do woman I would be a happy camper.  I love pretty things and feel sensual
