Why are there so few of them compared to men that dress up?

Also, if you were going to dress up as a guy for whatever sexual thrill it gives you... What would you wear?

Manchester (she/her)

A suit. With shoulder pads and baggier trousers to balance out the hips, and a hat to hide my hair.

I'm not sure I'd do it for sexual reasons, but just for fun

And why would you want to hide such lovely hips.

Could try wearing some sort of jacked up padding around your shoulders to make your hips seem smaller

It'd make you look like Arnold Schwarzenegger

Carlisle usually

Personally, I find femininity sexy. Dressing as a man simply wouldn't bring me any gratification. Plus after corset training as a teenage goth on top of the natural pawg build there's just no hiding the way my body curves even if I wanted to.

I'm sure you'd look great with a fake beard, rigger boots, tool belt and ripped denim shorts

Tonypandy.

I'm a female that cross-dresses. There a several pictures of my alter ego Orpheus on my profile.

But I do it for me, because I like it and enjoy playing with traditional gender roles.

Also, it's not unusual to see women wearing male clothing in everyday life, so probably not that there are less female CD, just that people dont really notice, or just think they are butch lesbians.

I wouldn't do it to get kicks.

That's a very good point, but I wasn't thinking about everyday life situations.

Wearing your boyfriends hoody for example doesn't really count as crossdressing

Or wearing men's clothes because they fit better or are more practical or have more pockets doesn't really count as crossdressing... Or maybe it does?

But the act of "masculising" yourself and making a deliberate effort to look manly (in particular, a sexy way) doesn't seem to be very popular among women... especially when compared to the amount of men that enjoy crossdressing

I remember seeing quite a few drag kings when I was first at university and being impressed by them.

I don't know what would or would not make it sexual for me, but I have contemplated trying it. I think for me it might just be playful.

I do agree there is a difference, but i think it's a question of perspective.

For me, I've always seem CD as wearing clothes of the opposite gender in order to play with gender roles. Where as I see TV as doing it for sexual gratification. (I'm sure we all have our own interpretation)

When I CD, I do intentionally emphasis the masculinity with facial hair, chest compression and soft pack.

I also wear a lot of men's clothes everyday because they fit better, have belt loops, deep pockets and tend to be longer. And my uniform is suit, shirt and tie.

I've certainly been IDed as a guy whilst like this. Equally, a short and slight male friend finds women's trousers fit him better. He's been called a TV for wearing women's clothes in everyday life, so technically what is the difference.

I suppose it's for each individual to decide why and how they dress, and everyone will have thier own agenda.

Personally, I'd love to see more female CD.

Because men are statically more likely to be "affected" by a paraphilia than women.

I don't find men's clothing attractive so wouldn't wear it as a turn on.

There's no harm in trying.

For me I just try and look like someone I'd find sexy. Look at guys that you think are sexy and attractive and try and look like them

Yes I'd agree with your definition between CD and TV and perhaps I shouldn't use the two so interchangeably.

I'd love to see more women engage in crossdressing and transvestitism

"Why are there so few of them compared to men that dress up?

Are there fewer ?

How many fewer ?

How does a woman dress as a man ?

Don't say shirts and trousers cos that on every street every day ....

Maybe they are just not 'seen' as much as the highly flamboyant male to female

Overshadowed perhaps.

Do 'men' dress up at all ?

- Yes

- I don't know, but based on what I see here on fab, many many less.

- She puts on men's clothes and tries to look masculine. Just like what a man

does when he cross-dresses but in reverse.

- Not all male CD/TV are highly flamboyant

- Yes, they do.
