Do you ever find yourself wondering if it’s okay to crossdress? Do you feel weighed down by society’s judgment and expectations?
Well, it’s time to shed that weight and liberate yourself! Let’s talk about why crossdressing is absolutely okay, and why you should embrace it without any guilt.
1. Self-Expression Matters
As humans, expressing ourselves is a basic core need.
Crossdressing is just one way to showcase your personality, tastes, and preferences through clothing. It’s an ideal outlet for creativity and individuality.
2. Fashion Has No Gender
Who says certain clothes are meant only for specific genders?
Clothes don’t have an inherent gender; they are pieces of fabric that can be enjoyed by anyone. So, wear what makes you feel confident and fabulous!
3. Breaking Free from Gender Norms
Crossdressing challenges outdated gender norms. It’s time to break free from rigid ideas of what’s “appropriate” to wear.
Crossdressing allows you to take a stand against society’s expectations and encourages others to do the same.
4. It’s Not Harmful
Let’s be clear – crossdressing is harmless. As long as you’re not hurting anyone, there’s no reason to feel bad about it.
Feeling guilty about expressing yourself through clothing is unnecessary and unproductive.
In conclusion
Being true to yourself is a beautiful thing, and it sets an example for others to do the same.
So, let go of the guilt, and embrace your fabulous, feminine side!

It’s eazy.Be self actualized.Accept yourself.Life is short.Why deny yourself positive feelings and aactions.That being said does the world have to know everything about you.Of course not.Do you share your finances or medical history with people.The important thing is that you live for yourself and not others.If it is so much fun dressing up etc and it is done in a lawful and dignified way there is no need to feel guilty.Just the opposite-empowered to enjoy your life as you see fit.I think all of us have qualities both feminine and masculine.Enjoy who you are.
I have read every post here so far! There are some very heart felt posts as well as some boneheaded ones. This seems to have struck a chord with lots of gyrls.
My “guilt” stems from my having to have reasons for everything. I wonder why do I feel this way. It’s not normal. I could never “come out”. Why can I stop for a short while but the need to dress becomes overwhelming? Why do I feel so damn sexy when I dress?
I have the support of the best girlfriend a guy (gyrl) could ever ask for. She lets me explore my feelings and encourages me to be happy. She is the one that bought my first dress for me. She is the one that said hey lets go out as girlfriends to a club. Boy was I nervous and excited at the same time. Since then I have been out to many clubs and have gotten attention from guys that made me feel super sexy.
Growing up and attending family get togethers, I always seemed to end up in the kitchen with the women discussing news, gossip and swapping recipes. I grew up with no father, a younger sister and my mother. I remember (now that I am trying to figure out how I got this way) that my mom used to say when I was younger that I would make a pretty little girl. Oh, how I wish sometimes that I would have been allowed to explore then! I have always felt effeminate, different, not at all macho. My mom wanted me to be self reliant growing up so I learned to cook, sew, iron my clothes, etc. I have been fashion conscious my entire life. No I didnt dress with expensive clothing but always wanted to “look nice” when going out. Through my teen years, and even now, I was constantly accused of being gay even though I have always had beautiful girlfriends. I was never really attracted to guys but was sexually curious what it was like.
I will never have surgery as I like being a guy. I also could not do that to my family/friends. I just wish I could have the freedom to dress as I feel, fem. My entire attitude changes when I dress. I can’t stop looking at the beautiful lady staring back at me. Oh I now have a wardrobe dedicated to Holly’s clothes! That is so exciting for me.
Lucille thank you for this blog! This has been therapeutic for me to put these thoughts on “paper”. Good luck to all of you! Kisses, Holly.
Dear Lucille. Since I was little I loved to dress in skirts etc. At that time I didn’t know the meaning, it didn’t have a name. When I grew older I felt ashamed and almost criminal. I could not give my feminine me a place in my own mind and body. I was scared to talk about it. Now I’m over 50 and don’t feel ashamed about myself anymore. My feminine me has got a place in myself now. This is me, I was born like this. It’s a pitty that I didn’t find out about this when I was younger. It would have taken away lots of insecure feelings about myself. On the other hand I’m glad that now I know who I am. It’s lots easier to live live now and to talk about it with other people. It makes me feel so happy to show my feminine me to myself and to others.Sweet greetings
At 1st. I did but after going out with friends a few times I got to feel more sure of my self and now I can go out buy myself and meet people that have not seen in months and see there faces when they see me dressed in my womens cloths how they will eather move away or stay and talk.that happened last week to me at the store when I meet a old employer,at frist she was shocked but as we talked for 10-15 min. she likes my new look.
I feel guilty.
I live by myself, but am afraid of being discovered. I keep my lingerie and makeup locked up in a trunk in my bedroom and my clothes, wig and shoes, jewelry and accesories locked in a cabinet in my garage.
I;m afraid if I ever got in an accident, I wouldn’t want my nieces or sisters to discover them if they had to go to my house to get me some clothes.
I come from a very ultra religioius background. I’m very religious too and I’m not to sure how God feels about this. But I’m 53 now and one of my favorite poems has been about not cheating the man in the glass. Perhaps I”ve been cheating myself.
I’m not ashamed of being transgender.
But I do feel guilt. Not directly to being transgender, but for the effects it has on those I love. It’s not necessarily rational, but I feel it anyway.
No I don’t feel guilty about cross dressing . In the beginning I thought I was a little odd, but at the age of 14 when my mother dressed me as a girl for a costume party from the bottom up including make up with red lipstick and 4 inch heels and I won first prize I never felt odd again. Lets face it, women’s clothes are just that, they are clothes. Clothes that are designed to cover the body and they do on women and men alike. Men like soft things too. However, society today does not accept men in dresses or skirts. So men must portray themselves as women in order to wear what they want just as women do. I say if it’s a dress or or skirt you want to wear then wear it and wear it with pride. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be feminine either and having a pair of breasts is great too. Feeling guilty about cross dressing? No I don’t.
It’s a part of growth.
Do I feel guilt or even shame? No. However, if you had asked me that 10 years ago I honestly would be saying YES!
Personally, I truly believe that it is fear, not guilt we feel. Fear that we may be shamed or ridiculed, fear of lack of acceptance or understanding. Fear that when we feel we are being judged,that our soul breaks and may lead one into a downward spiral of self hate.
Sometimes the fear is founded.
Mostly, it is not.
Confidence in your stride and smile. Confidence to be who your are! Self belief is the key!
In my journey, i feared a lot, past-tense of course. I felt a kind of guilt for just being who I am – then I asked myself ‘Well, who the hell am I then?!’. I am me, a fabulous confident woman and no-one can make me feel any different – except for myself.
Cast off your fears and feelings of guilt you truly fabulous women! Look at your self in the mirror and say “Oh hell yes honey, THIS is who I am!”
