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Crossdressing challenges outdated gender norms.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!

I feel guilty because of the expense. My wife comments how she has no savings, credit cards are maxed out and I’m spending money for leg and brow waxing along with new jeans, shoes and such. Also every four weeks getting a hair cut and style. I too have no savings and credit card is maxed out. I also don’t work. My job is to care for my Special Needs granddaughter. My military retirement goes toward the house payment which takes up almost all of it. This is not a hobby for me I have been on hormones for 19 months and doing well.
I am transgender. I was tought that being this way is very wrong and is something to be ashamed of. And that people who are this way are mentally I’ll. I used to believe it to for a time. But as I became a teenager I realized the feelings I felt were not a result of a mental illness. I am 17 and will be 18 soon. I still live with my parents of course but I don’t have the freedom to be who I am. If I tell them after I am 18 they will throw me out. I am trying to rais money so that I can move away when I turn 18. Then I can finally live as a woman.

I wouldn’t say embarrassed or ashamed at the beginning, just a little bit scared because I didn’t know what I was doing. Once I accepted that I was transgendered I just started walking my path. I learned how to do my own make-up, eventually my own hair was longer, and I found MY fashion look. I feel real comfortable with who I am and confident when I go out. I have a tone of friends and I really go everywhere. I just don’t feel the need for “safe zones”. I have a lot of CIS and lesbian women friends that my casual way. I just do female things like yoga, dance class, and tennis. I forget that I was a guy often. So I know I am almost there. Just counting down the days until surgery.
When I started off, sometimes but not now.
I always refer to that time as the yo yo effect.
You get the urge to dress in the opposite genders clothing and do for a time be it a few hours to a few weeks but then you decide that you are not going to do that again and get rid of all your clothes.
Then the feeling to dress returns (insert random time / days) and you get clothing and dress again before getting rid of the clothes again.
The key point here is that the feeling to dress always comes back stronger each time until you get to the point when you decide you are who you are if anyone has a problem with who you are, then it is their problem and not yours.
I see it as part of learning who I am.
I voted no. I’m in the process of transitioning and regularly dress daily. don’t get me some don’t accept me for who I am but believe me most do. Stay proud girls.
It always makes me think if I am misbehaving or not being true to myself. I have found it fun and exciting to try out undergarments and breast forms. I have a few people who I was open about this. One turns on me at times and even charges me to borrow the silicone breast forms 2 or 3 sets that I gave her. She rents them out to others. I do not consider myself to be gay or an actual woman. I admire how woman look. I felt like I was being a fake when I went around a mall crossdressed once. That is when I realized for the first time that using the bathroom there would be a problem either way. The issue is in the news frequently now.
Another aspect for me is religious. Besides that the majority of members in my denomination would most likely disapprove of crossdressing, I wonder if I am breaking the commandment about not bowing down to graven images. Aren’t silicone breast forms a likeness of something on earth namely real breasts that get so much of my attention that it is practically a form of worship? That is a question I am still working to resolve.
No, I never have felt guilty. Why would I? Carollyn is a part of me who will never go away, even if I tried. So many people don’t understand cross dressers. We are just average people. Question: “Why can a woman dress like a man in suits, pants, hard shoes and ties, etc, and be considered stylish and hip, but a man can’t dress as woman? Does it make any sense? A definite double-standard!!! I don’t like the secretive and deception required regarding my family’s acceptance, but that’s part of being a cross dresser. Hugs, Carollyn
Carollyn, I forgot to say how beautiful you are! I thought it when I saw your pic but I forgot to tell you, sorry!

Carollyn,
I agree with everything you said! My answer would be the same as yours combined with Savannah below. I feel so lucky to have an understanding and supportive wife. I would never have ventured out of the house if not for her! It is a little scary though, and I am concerned about the restroom issue also. Love to all! Kathy
I do feel guilt at times …and sometimes feel I have to hide it … but my wife best friend is totally supportive and actually encourages me to do more as savannah …it’s just me.
I am not out to anyone other than Her she loves both sided of me. She always buys gifts for both sides of me on bday and holidays…. and most of the time when it’s just a gift for no special occasion she buys for Savannah.
Sometimes I think she would prefer me as savannah on daily other than intimate times. Where she needs a man. I would have never been so free to do without her support.
Although I am still growing and getting braver about public places and being seen. I do wish I could live more open and be free with other ppl in my life. Because I didn’t choose this it is who I am…and that’s what she tells me.
I have never felt as a woman trapped in man’s body… but do love all things female and would switch in a heart beat if there were a pill could take to go back and forth depending on life situations and acceptance.
As I get older I wish I could have explored more of my savannah side (female role) . But I am so blessed in my life and love it. And I am who God made me … would not be completely me if I wasn’t other of me…so with that …No guilt..
Savannah, I’m right there with you! I got over the guilt and just enjoy being Kathy when I can, and sharing it with my wife who is also my BFF. I wish you all the best! Kathy
