why modes?

General talk about CD/TGing and gender topics that aren't necessarily fun things we do while en femme, or for gender-driven discussions.

I have always had a rule when driving that I never break more than one law at a time, so if my exhaust is blowing I keep to the speed limit, if I am going to break the speed limit a "little bit" I make sure that my car is fully legal and my self sober, if I am a little over the limit then everything else has to be perfect etc. etc. (of course this was when I was much younger and irresponsible). I wonder if the same rule could apply to dressing, i.e. age inappropriate OK but not combined with occasion inappropriate, if gender inappropriate then age and occasion appropriate. Sounds good, but not sure that it would be as much fun. One thing I am currently sure of is that whatever I wear it has to be weather appropriate

Some one asked the question, "are you insane?" :) well I am, but that's a different problem.

When I dress as a woman, I want to pass; I used to need to pass. When I need to be a guy, I can be a guy, but there is always that under current of my fem self that needs to peek through. As I get older and have gotten comfortable with who I am; what I am, my "modes" are blending with there being less and less guy mode. It's like I used to cross dress as a woman; not I feel more like I cross dress as a man.

I don't have a mode. Both male and female.

Third sex? Did I read that, somewhere? Are we something else (not one or the other) that defies conventional definition? I can say that I cannot dress somewhere in between. I dress as one or the other.

When I am in male mode, it is usually T-shirt and jeans (summertime) but when in fem mode, it is the correct underwear, correct shoes, correct dress (dress/skirt/pant/tops), correct makeup, wig, jewelry, and purse. Only going to the nines for those real special occasions. Usually when I am dress fem and out and about, it is normally what you would see any GG wearing. I figure that if I am going out as a female, I should look like one, dress like one, walk like one, and act like one. As result, no one seems to take notice of me at all. I have had on occasion a GG look me over, but I figure she is looking at what I am wearing and not at me. Then too, on rare occasions, I have had an older gentleman look me over and smile.
