Angie,
Well put - girl!!! For those of us who recognize the feminine personna we have, the next step is a kind of "make you or break you," According to Carl Jung at that stage you either control the Anima or it controls you. Nothing wrong with either just "different strokes for different folks!" You go to 24/7 and on to SRS or like most of us here, you learn from this new person in your life and take this gift and share it for the rest of your life. I have got to get some lip gloss - I'm out -uh sorry 'bout that uh? were was I?? Oh. yeah, for me dressing is secondary - I still love it, the challenge, the feminine clothing, but I also love what Deborah has taught me about the feminine side of things and sharing them with everyone!
Love,
Deborah
How important is your male personna?

Hi all,
Curly,
You raise a valid point. I'm also curious to hear what some of the other SOs may have to say on the matter. That Ed has no wish to adopt a girly moniker may be partly linked to the fact that he's expressed no desire to go "fully femme" (as Angie said, "there's nothing like being Bob in a dress").
I rarely think of (let alone call) myself Christina when in boy mode (which is most of the time). The day I start filing my income tax returns as such is the day I need to re-examine the strength of my contact with reality.
I'm Christina when I'm publicly en femme (whether online or off) and, as far as I'm concerned, that can be when I'm even with only one other person. You can be sure that if those of my friends and colleagues who know about Christina's existence actually start calling me Christina while I'm in boy mode, I'd raise a stink. As Deborah suggests, both my boy and girl aspects shine through in the whole of me (or so I aim for, anyway). If I had a cat, and that cat could talk, I'd want her to call me "Good Ol' Two-Legs-With-The-Food," not Christina nor Daniel.
In the end, a rose by any other name smells just as sweet, no?
Love,
CJ

Hi All,
I had to vote that my male side is very important to me, and could never give that up. After half a century
of such a "macho" lifestyle, and still enjoying it, I could never give that up. But Bonnie has given me the chance to see a lot of the finer things life has to offer, and she is teaching me how to be a lot more understanding and tender towards the people who are important in my life. Huggs to all, Bonnie

Sorry, I don’t quite fit any of the pigeonholes.
I have considered - at length - what it would be like to be female 24/7. My male persona is not that important, but I do NOT think about being female all the time. I tell myself that no man thinks about being a man all the time, nor does any GG think about being a woman all the time, so why should I?
It isn’t that I feel a need to protect my maleness, it is simply that it won’t go away. I like “Guy” subjects: my wife, amateur radio, motorcycles, airplanes, high-speed/high-power, power tools, electronics, fireworks, firearms, action movies, etc. I’m afraid I’d be a tomboy if I was a real girl. My only real obvious departure from normal guy things is total ambivalence about spectator sports or beer.
Hugs,
Bernice
