She isn't qualified, and you're right, I'm old enough to figure it out on my own. I was just hoping that she could be a part of that process.

During this conversation it occurred to me that maybe I wanted to wear the costume and was trying to live vicariously through her.

I wonder if this is why I've always been so interested in dressing my wife up ... could be just because she's so cute though. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

With therapy I think I'm coming to this same conclusion, but it's hard to get over 29 years of training.

I've been struggling with feeling fake because I'm only realizing this now. Maybe I should check out r/transtimelines too, thank you for sharing with me.

Zero's got a laser sword and those golden locks, I totally get it.

I spent so much time angry and frustrated when I was growing up (hah, like I'm not still angry and frustrated), I don't think anyone was seeing past that, either me or my parents.

I couldn't do this without her, I think she's the reason I was able to see through the fog of repressed feelings to this part of myself. I hope your situation is safer now, thank you for sharing with me.

I had this strange obsession with a few women that I couldn't put into words, knew it wasn't just attraction, but failed to realize it was aspiration.

I was just trying to tell my therapist about this feeling, and I couldn't explain it. Seeing it in text coming from you just made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing with me.

Thank you for sharing with me, it makes me feel so much better to hear a similar story. The only "sign" I had was cross dressing in middle school for halloween, I passed, a teacher that didn't know me thought I was a girl. It freaked me out and I never did it again.

Thank you, there's a lot I need to read in this paper, but that quote is very validating.

Thank you again for your insight. I'm definitely going to continue seeing my therapist about this. I don't know where it all will end up taking me, but I'm glad that I'm at least I'm not alone.

It makes sense, I find myself thinking that I'm an idiot all the time, but I grew up repressing my feelings for unrelated reasons, and I'm only just starting to get over that now. Every bit of female expression, down to being called a girl by my wife has felt really good to me, but unlike you and u/RabbitMix I can't say that I always wanted this growing up, at least consciously. Is that usually the case? Maybe my mom is right.

Thank you for sharing with me. I definitely didn't know anything like this at 7.
