Am I a cross-dresser?

Published by admin at 12:03 am under Womens Wig

I really enjoy wearing womens clothes. more for the fit than the fashion. I bought some tank tops with lace. and a pink and white lace tunic. I don't wear dresses or skirts. I don't wear make-up or a wig. I don't wear womens clothes all the time but I do go out in public. Am I a cross-dresser.

I think this kind of straddles the line of cross-dressing.

Classic psychoanalytic views of cross-dressing emphasized the role of "taboo" in the behavior. Only items that were proscribed to a gender would be appropriated, and therefore it is not the general association of an item with one sex or the other but the prohibitions against the item that give satisfaction to those with a fetish attachment to cross-dressing.

Now, since it seems like you like to wear these things only because they fit well and you like the variety of fashion, but NOT because you are deriving some kind of sexual "charge" from it, I do not think you could technically be classified as a cross-dresser.

Also, if you're not wearing these things to try to portray yourself as a woman, I think that just makes you a guy who likes women's shirts.

    If you wear women's clothing then you are technically a cross-dresser.

    A cross dresser is someone who sports opposite sex clothing for fun, etc. on occasion (like a drag queen).

    A transvestite is someone who wears opposite sex clothing because they just like the "feel" better.

    They are very similar sounding but there is a fine line.
