Is it normal to cross-dress occasionally?

If it's what you want to do then feel free. Do understand that it will take a toll on other aspects of your life. For example, your partner will probably have a lesser opinion of you for it, hence the awkward chuckle. Is that something you're ok with? If so, feel free but if you value how she views you then I wouldnt engage with the desire.

There's no wrong decision here, just weight out what you value more.

Dresses and skirts actually make more sense on men (assuming that's what you are), while trousers make more sense on women if you think about it...

Do you boo

And people that think like you do is why people cant or dont try to get along. The type of people who have to make your point loudly heard instead of just agree to disagree. I am a crossdresser, and I do not and will not apologize for who I am. It's just sad people like you are so stuck in your ways of thinking. In fact, there should be an LGBT parade on your street for a week, back and forth, repeat again and again.

Depends on why you want to do it.

At home because you just enjoy the clothing, enjoy yourself. I'm clothing optional or nudist at home. Most friends know to call before they arrive or they accept the style. The only opinions you really need to worry about are those you live with. Then it's as previously stated depends on what you value most.

In public, to me is a little different. Especially if you are trying to trick or fool people. Using public facilities, getting special treatment, jobs, even picking up sexual partners.

I see this as no different than lying or cheating. Putting F on an application, claiming different race or ethnic bavkground, all to gain an advantage is wrong even if you can pull it off.

I wouldnt let my girlfriend find me like that thats something you might wanna disclose to her

Is it normal to cross-dress occasionally?

you should be allowed to wear what they want, after all its only clothing, we as a people put the name such as female or male on certain clothes, I personally wear what I want, and cross-dress everyday, and love it being a man, yet one has to wonder why its crossdressing when a man does it, but its socially acceptable when a woman wears mens clothes

Life's too short for fitting into the status quo without exploring what gives you joy, imo. If you think it makes you happy then by all means! If your partner is unsupportive, perhaps talking it through with them may help? I'm at least glad to hear it brings you joy.

In every dream home a heartache...

Just saying that dresses and skirt looks sexier on a women then man!!!

It isn't really sexual, it's more of a comfort thing.

If you turn your partner off you have no one to blame but yourself.
