Crossdressing Poll

142 replies

CrossdressingClare · 25/11/2018 07:15

Hi,

I came out to my wife 11 years ago. She didn't take it well and had an affair. I found out and was heart broken. I eventually forgave her and we moved on to have another children and a happier marriage.

She came to terms with my crossdressing allowing my to wear hold ups, heels and underwear in the bedroom. Im aware of how luck your I am tan does I can tell you how liberating it is.

She does make the occasional derogatory comment and I get it. She also thinks it extremely rare.

I'd like to know how many Crossdresser S there are out there, so I can gage how rare or populate crossdressing is.

Thanks for taking the time to read and take part.

Tacky.

On every level.

Is this a piss take?

And for previous posters, drawn into their Parners creepy, quite frankly, fetishist world and scarred by it, it’s sad to read.

Eddie Lizzard? Thinks trans or cross dressing men goes on YouTube to say they should have legal right to use women’s loos?Seriously, narcissistic first world problems taken to a whole new level. What world do these twats live in?

I’m quite amazed how intolerant some women are on here. If my husband did this I would have no problem at all- it’s only clothing and body hair! Some women dress in dungarees and choose not to wear make up or make an effort, some wear make heels dresses etc- as women we can wear and look how we want today- so should men.

The marriage vows day ‘for better or worse’ - no wonder so many marriages fail. Come on fellow women stop seeing everything from our point of view.

Sammybabes16 · 17/01/2021 10:33

Why Fran? It’s not illegal. Does your husband expect you always to be in perfect make up heels and a dress - or does he accept you in jogging bottoms and jo make up sometimes? I can see why some men really don’t bother with such narrow minded women.

Why can't you accept that other's don't think and feel like you do.

And 'fellow women'? Yeah ok. I see your agenda here.

I don't think it is intolerant for some people to be put off by having a cross dressing partner. It would certainly be a turn off for me.

People should be up front about their quirks before getting too involved with a potential partner.

People should be up front about their quirks? Are you serious? You may as well be up front about everything from the start - including some out private secrets. I just think that’s totally unrealistic and naive.

Being turned off by it is fine being intolerant and of it is not,

Bit of a bizarre thing to ask in Mumsnet, a place mainly populated by women. Are you asking if any of us like to walk around the house in a man's suit & tie??

There are a few men on here, and maybe there will be women who have husbands who do it, but I don't think this is the best place to get an idea of numbers. For one thing some women will be unaware that their husbands are doing this. If you want a better idea I would say it's best you ask somewhere that's male dominated.

I've only known one cross dressing man personally (I may have known others and not been privy), many years ago; he told me about it shortly after we met. He had actually been through quite a lot, divorced etc, because of it. I couldn't see the harm in his cross dressing but he did go on about it a lot, it was obviously an important part of his sexual identity. He'd whisper to me about what he had on under his shirt for example.

He wanted a woman who would enjoy his dressing up and make up in their sex life. That was definitely not for me, it would get on my nerves, gorgeous though he was, and the endless conversations about stockings and camisoles would have soon worn thin. However there are women who not only don't mind but actually enjoy it and why not? Each to their own.

@Sammybabes16

Agenda? I have none except to state that there are many things that our partners do which put each other off. I would not be turned on by my husband crossdressing but I’d accept and tolerate it. I’m sure there are many things that I do that turns him off - just don’t bring it into the bedroom. One thing it isn’t is perverted or ‘wrong’. It’s not cause for divorce like physical or mental abuse.

I’m sure my husband would like to see me in heels snd a dress all the time - but it’s not going to happen- he doesn’t divorce me when I’m in my condos and look more like a man! Get a grip.

No I won't 'get a grip'. How about have a decent debate and don't be so fucking rude.

News flash for you, different people have different things that are willing to tolerate. Which is acceptable. Your way of thinking is not the only way.

@TinselAngel

OP showing just about the usual level of understanding to his partner that AGP men do.

There's support for your partner on here if she needs it. It's offensive that you come on here to try to gather information to leverage your partner into putting up with more things she's not comfortable with.

Poor woman.

Rude? Lol don’t make me laugh. You are the only one swearing on here dear- not me.

If you are intolerant of a man crossdressing then you are the one who has issues. Being turned off by it is fine- being intolerant or nasty about it isn’t. Maybe you’d be happier living back in the 19th century chained to the kitchen sink - or a’r equal tights only for us women or the ones you can pick and choose.

Intolerance and nastiness isn’t acceptable for something that isn’t illegal and doesn’t harm anyone else. You need to get out more dear.
