Joanne,
I am little different than you. I don’t want a man but I would consider being a ‘Sissy’ for the right woman who would want a feminine male and would love me wearing a dress everyday.

i put out a post on this forum in September of 2020 about living with two genders. Well, I just want to add how I fell when I am fully dressed as a woman. I saw a phase online from another crossdresser which is: ‘When I am dressed as a woman, I am her and she is me’.
Well, I couldn’t agree more with those words of wisdom. I am presently fully dressed as Irene and I know that part of me has always been her and it is always such a relief when I can be her.

I followed the recent withdrawal of Brooklyn Ross from a women’s tennis tournament in Wyoming a few weeks ago. Brooklyn is a 27-year-old who transition to a woman 6 years ago. She is a NCAA Division II tennis player and received honorable mentions in her conference during the 2022 season. I saw that her college record was 26 wins and 7 defeats. So, cis women do defeat her. I watched a few videos of her playing tennis and I saw an attractive woman who loves the game of tennis.
Anyway, she entered the Wyoming tournament in order to play against some female competition. However, all hell broke out once a few people found out that Brooklyn was a transgendered woman. Brooklyn decided to withdraw from the tournament since she did not want to turn the tournament into a circus.
As I mentioned in a post on 4/24, I have followed Trans women in sports since Renee Richards in the mid 1970s. Brooklyn’s story reminds me so much of what Renee Richards had to endure. As I also mentioned something inside of me cannot say that a Trans woman should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports. I am now a Brooklyn Ross fan.

I just read that Megan Rapinoe of the US women’s World Cup Soccer team is all for Trans Women competing in the World Cup. Good for her. She has my support.

I understand your analogy. Thanks for standing up for trans women in competitive sports.

I am a crossdresser and have followed Trans athletes since the time of Renee Richards. Following her story over the years has helped me understand who I am. Something inside of me could never say that Trans women cannot compete in female sporting events. After all Trans women are women. Unfortunately, many people just don’t understand what it is to be transgendered.

Hi Gwen,
I saw your question several weeks ago about gay acceptance versus crossdressing acceptance. I keep trying to come up with an answer but can only come up with some thoughts. It might be that being gay is somewhat more acceptable since gay rights have been a movement for over a half century. Maybe it is because as crossdresser we are part of the Trans community and there is so much bullying and hate for us with far-right people. Anyway, I wish I had a better answer.

Gwen,
Thanks for the fun story. Brings back fun memories for me since I am also closeted at work.

I believe that gender fluid is who I am. I have known from an early age of 4 that I have two genders. I started moving from male to female mode when I was 11. At that age I had my first urge to dress as a woman.
Crossdessing has always been one of the ways I flow into my womanhood. The desire could be initiated by numerous events such as seeing a woman in a dress that I would want to wear or reading an article about a Transgender woman. I would remain in female mode for a few hours to a few days. I want to emphasize that I don’t always have to wear my female clothes when I am in my female mode. I just feel feminine. In some cases I have had desires to transition but not always. Flowing back to being a male would start when I had to go to work or be contacted by cis friends, etc. For most of my life I have been in male mode most of the time.
Over the years I enjoyed my male mode but always look forward when the desire to switch to a woman would happen. As I get older I feel more feminine inside of me but still have the need to be in male mode.
I do believe that gender fluid people like me should fall under the Transgender umbrella. I do not want to offend anyone who is transitioning or who already has. I have the utmost respect for you. Anyway I am hoping to hear from many of you on this topic.
