Does that even make any sense? My personal tendencies from a very young age have been mostly transvestic in nature. But from the time I opened up to my wife, mother, family and friends, I have had more of a desire to be even more open, i.e., going out in public, hangin out with friends etc. The sexual urges of transvestism still definitely exist, but seem to be taking more of a back seat. I feel a constant urge to express myself as more feminine all the time and the more I get the more I want. I wife told me once if she gave me a finger I would want an arm and I think she was right about that. I still have no known desire to transition to a female, but have given implant a thought. As i stand now I have not worn male underwear in years and keep my nails painted almost all the time. No one really seems to bat an eyelash as I am a strange bird anyway, I think they just defer to the goth thing, although I have never claimed to be a part of that subculture. Long hair and too many tattoos seem to box me in though.

So does this possible personal metamorphosis make any sense to any of you or am I just climbing a rope to nowhere for the umpteenth time?

TV=transvestism//CD=cross dresser  to me that's the same thing. Yes it makes sense but it really depends upon the motivation. Is your reason for dressing for sexual pleasure or a drive stemming from Gender Incongruence? You should see a therapist to help find this out first. When you get an answer to that question then you will know which position in the gender spectrum you fit into. Either way you wind up taking, Welcome to Susan's!

I think it is totally fine to move from what you have seen as one phase to the next phase. It is also normal to begin to explore more once you have become comfortable enough at a certain phase. You are in a sense giving yourself the permission to explore further when you find freedom in being who you are in your current phase.
