Hi
I've just registered and am posting for the first time. It's nice to have a community where you can share experiences. I've thought/fantasised about being a cross dresser for many years but haven't really explored it. That is, I've done a few things now and then when it's "safe". I browsed a book yesterday at Border in Sydney which contained a series of essays about individuals in a transgender-type context including cross dressing. One of the stories sort of set me free and I immediately went off to buy some nice underwear and am looking to broaden my network and my wardrobe!! Having said that I would find it extremely difficult (impossible?) to broach this subject with my family. My wife is extremely conservative and would find this very hard to deal with. Unfortunately I suspect this will be a hidden part of my life which I will only indulge when the opportunity presents itself.
For me there is both an element of feminine identity and also a sexual element. At a personal level I am quite sure that I am very feminine. I've formed this conclusion from my interests, my friends. (mostly women) and what attracts me intellectually, culturally, visually. There are a lot of reasons behind my attraction to women's clothing - the endless variety in style, fabric and colour, the form and cut which can look so elegant, the imagination behind them and the softness. I don't want to ramble too much (particularly as one could talk about these topics for hours).
If anyone's is interested in exploring any of these topics separately perhaps you could start a new topic.
Thanks to Susan for this fantastic forum.
