Men are very creepy including vernon Coleman. Essential reading for women . Wow
One of the most illuminating being:
‘Being a transvestite is the ultimate narcissistic experience. I go all the way and make myself look as beautiful as possible!’

Very nice read
It is so interesting to find out the wide variety of people and partners in the CD community. I liked the idea of policemen hitting on the CDs, this is very amusing, though not for the CD at the time.

Let the truth be told.
Finally I found a book that describes my life.
The true nature of my sexuality.
The real fears I live with daily.
The damning effects on relationships.
Yet still its the best way for me to release stress.

Interesting exploration of what cross dressers say about themselves.

Thoughtful insights
I enjoyed the conclusion about how cross dressing is not hurtful to anyone and in fact helpful to many men.

This is a fairly short book and I was not aware until I read it that it is a documentary of interviews that were done of crossdressers (I think).

Cross dressing is not what many people think it is.
The book is a serious study asking cross-dressing men questions about their fetish and collecting their answers to have a better portrait of the reasons why they do what they do. The first conclusion I read was that cross-dressing is a male thing since women are wearing on a daily basis what used to be considered as men's clothing. The second one is that while a woman in a business suit will impose professionalism, a man in a kilt will look exotic; he shouldn't even try a regular skirt if he wants to survive embarassment to the very least. Also, most of cross-dressers have no desire to become Transgenders and are very much satisfied to wear men's clothing in their everyday lives. We learn reading comments and conclusions how much this fetish is liberating for them and a way to escape their own persona. But for many it will remain a secret since they fear the consequences for sharing it with relatives or wives. At least a good proportion of wives will accept this fetish and many will even participate.
The first time I wear a skirt was because the one I bought my wife was too big and I jokingly said I would wear it at home; and I did. What an extraordinary feeling I got! The fabric was so silky and thin, it kept floating around my legs producing such a sensual feeling, I felt no constriction around my crotch and felt completely free especially without underwear and it felt so good! I totally agree with men who find that society and fashion are narrow minded. What if cross-dressing was the male answer to promote feminism?
Short read worth every page to have a better understanding of an inoffensive but freeing way to dress.
