This is a very good blog and it does make you think why we do what we do…I totally agree with you that the CD community is so diverse in terms of the reasons why we dress and to me that’s a good thing as it would be boring if we were all the same Squint ….for me dressing is pure escapism..being someone else for a while..it’s the best stress reliever I’ve ever experienced dressing up…I’m totally happy living as a man but I do love transforming into a glamorous woman when the urge takes me..in answer to your question I want to feel and look like a woman when I dress otherwise I wouldn’t do it haha..when I look in the mirror i see Vicky I don’t see my male self xxxxx
