Because of all the theoretical discussions about People in the Middle on the male forum, I have settled on dressing in women's clothes, but stayed away from really feminine looks. That's what makes me feel most comfortable. But I want to stop wearing out that mirror. So what am I going to do when the need to cross dress pops up occasionally? Shake what my program gave me. But where? Parties again? The beach? I'm 51, for Priscilla's sake
Hi Isabelle,
Sorry I missed this bit when you posted it at the end of last week.
I understand EXACTLY where you are with this, and the answer I found is to do what you want when you want to. When your head learns that it can do actually what it wants, the confusion goes away .
As I've said before, I dress to suit the occasion. Yesterday I had to do a load of work in the garden, so, bra, checked blouse, ladies jeans, big androgynous roll neck sweater and trainers - just what any woman would wear for that activity. Today I'm working from home so I'm planning on pleated skirt and heels I may or may not do the wig and make-up, I'll see how I feel when I get that far. Tomorrow I have to go to the the office so it will be male attire, but that doesn't bother me because I am comfortable that the following day I'm home again and can wear what I like. Who/what we are, isn't about what we wear, now that we are on the phyto-hormones. Its about being ourselves and we don't have to be in high drag as a substitute to prove the point. I don't have to be in drag and scream at everyone to look at me, to be 'me'.
