"Ebb and Flow (close up version):" This storm seemed to approach and then retreat before finally dissipating in the distance.
One thing I’m aware of when I crossdress as a woman is just how much inner joy and excitement I feel. I am not unhappy with my life as a man yet when I dress up as a woman I feel more confident and at ease. I have no intention of ever becoming a woman full time through surgery and hormones but I definitely desire to spend time presenting as a female.
I have deep fears about this as the reality is I am not a woman and can never really know what that reality is like for real women. I am merely a facade and, the bottom line, a man enjoying himself wearing make-up and women’s clothing. I admit there is a part of me that always wanted to be a girl but I see this as a mild existence of transsexualism. It’s not enough to make me transition but I feel it is partly what motivates me to dress up as a woman.
I say dress up as that is undeniably an aspect I really enjoy. It is also a form of performance. I am playing a role I have created. Like an actor adopting a character for their performance. I do get into being my female alter-ego and have at times felt so at home when I become her that I am thrilled to believe I am a woman. Ultimately, I know I’m not and I am in that privileged position of enjoying myself wearing make-up, dresses, heels and shaving my legs. All that I do is create an illusion of being a woman. The reality for women is not all about make-up, hair, clothes and high heels. I’m aware I am focusing on aspects of femininity that men find attractive when women choose them. My fear is I am insulting women by doing this. For me I have a deep desire to dress up as a woman but I feel maybe I am indulging in a male fantasy of women. It’s an awareness that causes me some unease about my cross-dressing.
I find emotionally I do feel more free when I cross-dress and I become somewhat delusional. I find myself not wanting to be a man ever again. That emotion is powerful and it always occurs yet I know within a few hours it will lose it’s potency and I do return to being a man.
I like feeling feminine and I dream, oh how I dream, of looking feminine. I feel very much at home appearing as a woman and do experience a yearning for it to be real. I am also aware a part of me is enjoying the thrill of dressing up, the make-up, the wigs, the dresses and the high heels, it is more a case of female impersonation than being a true female.
I know my description of myself as a transvestite is a description most cross-dressers despise but the reality is I am a transvestite! I live as a man but I occasionally like to dress up as a woman. That dressing up does bring out emotional responses from within me and I do love the feeling of presenting myself as a woman. It enables the part of me that wishes I was girl some freedom and yet I always feel a bit like an actor playing a role.
I am genuinely thrilled I am a transvestite, I like being one and I like the knowledge I’m a man yet I can put on make-up and a dress and enjoy myself wearing them. It’s not what most men wish to do but since the growth of the Internet I have become aware that far more men than I ever could have imagined also enjoy dressing up as women. The term transvestite may not be popular but I am delighted to know there are a lot of us all over the world. As a teenager, I felt alone with my desire to dress up as a woman so it’s still a marvel to me to realise so many men feel the same way. Just browsing here on Flickr is proof of that!
Well not that close, just a bigger bird than I normal photograph :)

Close up of a drake Ring-necked Duck with its bright yellow eye. Papago Park, Phoenix, Arizona, USA. 13 February 2018.
If you wait long enough, sometimes the butterflies come to you! Not sure the minimum focus distance of the lens would allow for such a close up image, however. :-)
