Who Was That Lady?

For those of you still using Facebook, you know it can be a rather interesting forum. Questions get posed, statemnts made, arguments inflamed. Recently I posted one of my "I Love Dressing" Memes that stated, "I'm a straight male. I just have a feminine side, and I'm really comfortable with that". A friend asked me to elaborate on that statement, so I composed this response to him. I hope this not only informs but possibly assists someone who may be going through a similar journey.

"As you pointed out, I said I identify as a Hetero Male To Female Crossdresser. By this, I mean I am a genetic male, attracted to genetic females. You asked if I was also attracted to trans women - that gets difficult to reply to. I am married and faithful, so I wouldn't have sexual relations with anyone other than my Darling Wife. I have never found myself (knowingly) attracted to a trans woman. However, I do appreciate the female form and figure. As I tell people to whom I have shared the existance of the Julie Part of my life, I will look at a pretty women twice - once to appreciate her beauty and twice to appreciate her wardrobe.

"Whether crossdressers are on the Trans Spectrum is a discussion for smarted folk than me - I don't think that matters. I have found that when I share with LGBTQ+ folk that I'm a HM2FCD, I tend to get the same responses. "Are you transitioning?" "Have you looked into hormone therapy?" "You do relalize you're lying to yourself, that you're not being true to who you are?" To this I say - Mind Your Own Damn Business. It has taken me a number of years to come to the place I am now in. I don't feel like I'm trapped in the wrong body, I don't want to undergo surgery, I am happy being a man. I just enjoy being Julie as well.

"I'm an actor - by profession (but not as much as I'd like these days) and by desire. I see Julie as a real character, a personality, another aspect of who I am. I relish the opportunities to let her out of the house and just "be". But that's all.

"Back to the sexual attraction question - as stated, I love women. I also find that when out as Julie, I enjoy checking out the guys. And I'd be lying if I didn't say that I adore it when they give me some attention! A dream of mine is to go out with a guy for dinner and dancing. Having him treat me like a lady. But as a "Lady", it wouldn't go any further than that."

Let me add here that I also feel that when I'm presenting as my male self, I'm nothing much to look at. Just another old dude walking down the street. But as Julie I feel confident, classy, and possibly even pretty.

You've come a long way, Baby!

So here's to all you gals out there who don't feel like you fit in anywhere. You are the Perfect YOU - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.
