Crossdressing

[Kilix]

I'm not sure if I would qualify as a crossdresser then. I mean, I wear skirts and female-designed shirts and blouses (all casuals, nothing formal), but I'm not trying to convince people I'm a woman. I just happen to enjoy wearing that clothing. I hate make-up, save for a couple very rational uses for them (never tried it but I'd be open to using moisturizing lipstick that works more like chap stick than lipstick and UV protective toner or blush possibly; NOTHING around the eyes). I do sometimes do fake breasts but never in public, and mostly for my own amusement; not to convince others I'm female. If you define "crossdresser" simply as someone who wears clothing traditionally worn by the opposite gender or marketed towards the opposite gender then yes I'd count as a crossdresser, but so would 75% of the population.

I'm going to have to agree with Kilix, I wear the clothing becasue it's comfortable and I wear breasts; sometimes out in public but for the most part in my house. I don't thank that makes me a cross dresser; I think it makes me unique.

I think the line is drawn for most people when you either step beyond just clothing or are trying to fool people into believing that you are of the opposite gender. Therefore, wearing breasts in public would qualify as that step into "crossdressing."

I dress like a male, so would that be crossdressing? I'm female, by the way.

It's always funny to consider what would make a female a crossdresser. That's why I think the line is best drawn at going beyond clothing and actual attempts to convince others you are a member of the opposite gender. For example, I've heard of women using theater glue / cement (that's transparent) to put fake stubble around their face, or wearing thick shoulder pads to get a look of broader shoulders in an attempt to convince others that they are male. For males, using false breasts or heavy amounts of makeup I feel would quality as "crossdressing."

But again, just to reiterate my initial statement, if just wearing clothing of the opposite gender makes one a crossdresser, that means about 75% of the (modernized) human population are "crossdressers."
