My Thoughts on Crossdressing Through the Years

Welcome back once again, our lovely readers!

In this section of the blog, we share our experiences and thoughts about our crossdressing life!

Today I’m going to share with you a personal reflection on my relationship with this lifestyle.

I’m pretty sure that you are all going to relate to this at some point!

The world is changing and luckily, it seems that it is becoming a more accepting place for everyone.

But I wasn’t born yesterday and because of it, it took me some time to wrap my mind around this wonderful lifestyle.

Eventually, I learned how to make the most of it while enjoying my crossdressing free of guilt!

1. Growing Up In A Conservative Household

I’m sure that many of you know what this can mean and the confusion that can create in a child.

I’m now 35 and I’m the youngest sibling out of four, and the only male one.

Like most crossdressers, I identified pretty early in life with my natural femininity.

While growing up, I found myself not being identified completely with boys my age.

Instead, I shared quite a lot of interests and likes with girls.

But because of the catholic background of my family, I wasn’t too obvious about it during my childhood.

Luckily, that didn’t stop me from creating beautiful friendships with many women and remaining in touch after all this time.

And of course, some girlfriends took a liking to my feminine side and got to enjoy it too!

2. Maybe Not That Different

It is well known that most biological women have a keen eye to spot details and subtleties.

But I believe this great trait is, in fact, a side effect of being feminine. And as such, is not exclusive to any gender.

While growing up, I picked on details on male acquaintances and friends and realized that I wasn’t the only feminine guy around.

I would love to tell you that I met crossdresser friends during my time at school but sadly, that’s not the case.

Nonetheless, I am certain that more than just one have enjoyed crossdressing at some point, and probably still do.

I mentioned before that I was raised in a catholic household with a very traditional view on gender, family, and religion.

So, I was sent to catholic school and none of my classmates expressed this freely.

But as I said, I like to think I have a keen eye.

3. Caught Between Two Worlds

During a big part of my life, I found it hard to identify myself as anything.

Due to my catholic upbringing and the mainstream media of the time, my inborn femininity and the attraction to women took some time to process.

It is easy for a kid or teen to get confused in a black or white scenario like this when neither of the extremes felt ever right to me.

At that time, the big general misconception that every feminine guy must be attracted to men created a big confusion in me.

Up to the point that I wondered if I was gay even though I never felt sexually attracted to boys!

Luckily, youth have a bit more open scenarios to discuss these thoughts and generally care less about preconceptions like this.

Kudos to them for being wiser and more mature than many old folks!

4. Dating As A Crossdresser

Though I was never quite a ladies’ man, I was in a few relationships with women.

And even though I had feelings for all of them, only one got to know my secret.

That doesn’t mean I haven’t crossdressed in front of just one.

Some past girlfriends have seen me dressed but not fully and only as a joke.

And though I never received any bad comments on it, it didn’t feel quite right.

Except with one. Everything in that one relationship was different from any other I’ve had.

Partly because of it, I decided to open up and share my crossdressing with her.

And you can read all about how that went in this other post!

In my experience, my feminine nature has helped me a lot in my dating life.

And I’m sure you can put that energy to work in your favor too!

5. Reaching My Adulthood

Looking back on my crossdressing life, you could say I went through all the typical stages as any other crossdresser.

Confusion, guilt, purge, depression, insecurities, you name it.

It was after I started to crossdress again after I set on fire my secret stash of clothes years ago.

That was when I realized that it was futile to deny part of my essence.

And it isn’t like I was indulging in a bad habit like smoking.

I always felt so relaxed and at home while crossdressing that I saw no point in fighting these feelings anymore.

Everything got better when I learned to accept myself as I am and love myself for it.

I stopped feeling like I was at war with myself and embraced this lifestyle regularly when I moved out of my parents’ house.

Only to continue learning more about the wonderful and powerful femininity inside of me.

6. A Great Source Of Inspiration

There was always an artistic side to me. I love writing, painting, and crafts where you have to put your hands to work, like pottery.

Once I started enjoying my crossdressing without guilt, I realized that I could tap into different emotions than those I could in male mode.

Pretty much some actors stay in character during the filming of a movie to feel in their character’s shoes.

If you are an artist of any kind and don’t know what I mean, you should try it!

Life is too short to restrict ourselves from something that makes us happy and disconnect from the outside world.

But the power of femininity doesn’t stop there!

Once you unleashed it can translate into many positive aspects of your life like being productive and healthy!

Experiment incorporating your crossdressing into your routine and find how works best for you!

This is all for today, darlings! I hope this little story has helped you feel a little less misunderstood and alone in the world.

If you reached this point, know that everything you are going through is natural and it is the consequence of an outdated philosophy that still lingers in many parts of the world.
