Face it!

[Anne Bonny]

I am a man I really do like women and being around them, ...and at times I feel quite feminine and I love and tend to prefer wearing dresses and grooming myself as a woman. It is really as simple as that. Obviously I am not the only man who loves being as woman are from time to time, lots of men enjoy being able to be as women are because it is how we are on the inside at times. I think it allows us to let go of the male role and allows us to feel free to be our feminine selves. I am a heterosexual cross dresser. I am not a woman, I do not have a female brain but I do find there are things men and women can and do share in common mentally. I suppose it is a bit unusual because most men do not have the tendencies that would place them over into things women like or prefer. It is just as most women do not share tendencies that would place them over into things men tend to like or prefer. But we all know that there are men and women who do share many things the opposite gender tend to like and prefer.

Women do have much more leeway in crossing over and no one cares too much...maybe if it is extreme some may be a bit piqued but they are not going to go over and tell them to stop. They just tend to accept that they are a little gruff and masculine in some ways. Men do not have this luxury unfortunately but we exist as much as our counterparts do on the female side.

For myself I struggled with it all for years and years until I finally realized...Hey!...this just happens to be who I am, what harm is there if I prefer being as women are from time to time? I would not do it if the feelings inside were not quite real and intense, I must prefer it and enjoy being as women are or I simply would not have a closet full of everything a woman needs to look wonderful and If I did not find it wonderful and something I just have to do...it matches how I feel inside at times, it is wonderful and fulfilling...I do enjoy being able to be as women are...or I like being a girl from time to time...I just do. It is also a relief from having to be male all of the time. It is too bad that I have to hide myself away from the world, it is not as If lots of women have not seen me in women's clothing or know that I am as they are inside from time to time but I do know that I am not a woman and the reality is most people outside my home would be very upset and disturbed by the sight of a man dressing as a woman, it's unfortunate we do not have the same freedom to simply be as our counterparts are on the female side who have complete freedom to be who they are but that is just how it is.

Yeah, I simply have to be a girl from time to time, there is nothing wrong with being who I am, I cannot help it. Out the door and most of the time I am the man people expect and even at home most of the time but for a few hours most days I simply have to be the more relaxed and feminine person that I am inside when those feeling come and elevate in intensity or I would simply go crazy! It is something that I have to do because this really is who I happen to be from time to time, it is who I am in part. Though I am mostly...yet I have never been fully male inside. It is like two different metals that are melted together and become an alloy The male and the female inside are always present but the intensity of each varies one elevates while the other decreases but I am male most of the time.

I was educated, married, we had children, I am now a grandfather...the life I have led as a man has not been affected because I am like this but I would not be able to function If I were not able to let my feminine side be who she is when she comes.
So, being as I am is alright! We are quite functional and fine I really wish the world would get over it.
