Dress for Peace ?

[Anonymous]

I really know exactly what you mean after being dressed I feel so relaxed and calm my partner says that I am a lot more sensitive and gentle when I am dressed. I can still remember once I had been shitty all day and finally my partner said to me that I was to go and get changed after I asked her why she said Because you need to to calm you down can`t get much more affermation than that

Hi Dianne,
Yes I know just how you might feel ! cross dressing is far better than any tranquiliser ! Its like a double dose of valium without side effects an dmor fun.Mind you its addictive in my opinion , but we seem to agtree ( us girls ) that its an addiction we cant shake and for our benefit we should use it for the pleasure and the rationalisation it produces.
Thanks and hugs,
Suzz

It is true. Many years ago I went though a major depression, and allthough at the time I could not see it my (old) wife said I was a right bastard. I was angry and sad within myself all the time, I could feel it but not control it. In those days I dressed in secret, but when I was alone and dressed I did feel much calmer. Unfortunatley I did not dress often enough for it to do any real good, and niether did I tell my psychaiatrist. LOL ( he would probably have had me commited)

Just to be a sod, as much as I find this idea great, Grorge Bush, John Howard and Tony Blaire might not stand up and declare war so easily if they were wearing frocks? Sadly no, we’d still be in the poo. Bono and Geldorf espousing Famini in Armani twin sets though might get a great response.
As for the soft and feminine side? That can be as ruthless and vicious as any male, look at Maggie Thatcher!
Still, it’s a great thought. We have ‘Days’ for everything else, why not a ‘Frock-up Friday’?

Hi Girls,
I find when dressed I feel so much more relaxed and some how ‘understanding ‘ or caring for others.Its as though my feminine side really does come out and some how Im a better person .I know those feelings of anger towards others in my worlld dissappear when Im dressed. Perhaps we should start a “dress for peace movement ” or perhaps some one who really feels stongly about acceptance of tg/tv/ts people could go public and urge not only public acceptanec of the cause but point out this feature of cd ing .This latter point would probably have to be ‘tongue in cheek’ ,
Pehaps we coudl have a national “Dress for Peace ” day ?
Hey if this idea has already been discussed please forgive me – im quit enew at forums on Tg/Tv /Ts

Sorry for butting in here again, I agree with Samantha Jane. I think we feel this way because we can’t dress. 15 years ago I went through such a depression, I believe it was, in part, because I was limited in my dressing time. When I managed to get away for some time to myself and was dressing a lot for longer periods then normal, i.e. days at a time as opposed to hours. I was so relaxed and feeling so good but when the time came to return, (to put the toy box away), I felt so low. Very often I felt that life wasn’t worth living with all the stress of being between one life and another.
Eventually I split from my wife and came to live in Melbourne and had more time to indulge, (probably selfish of me), I spent more time dressed and was more active in going out and doing things en femme e.g.dining, theatre, shopping, than I had ever been in the previous twenty years, which in the end certainly helped me come to terms with who or what I am.
And Samantha, I think your comment was tongue in cheek but if your psych was on the ball he certainly wouldn’t have had you committed, mind you I know a few who. went to psychs, me included and they knew next to nothing about cross dresing in any form.

Thanks girls for your opinions – it seems ive struck a chord here ! what Id suggest now – with, I guess, hindsight is that us girls consider important decisions when dressed – that i s Im not suggesting we rush into frocks at work or when ever we have a crisis ,but just set aside some time to think of whatever troubles us or what we have to decide on when dressed – it might be a powerfull method as well as fun way to get around problems.’
Having said that I know a lot of us girls dress to get away from every day problems, but it may be that in this state these arent as bad as we think ..
Now with Maggie Thatcher I consider her a traitor to women around the worl as she was so ruthless ! Thats my view any way .To me she showed a total lack of compasssion,reconciliation or fairness -all qualities of the “fairer sex “. I dont want to debate it though – some other forum perhaps
A friday drees up would be great

Sounds really great the more I think of it. Every member of the office staff has to come to work in a frock. (Yes, including G.G. women) And there has to certain rules with various criteria.
1/ No messing around, have to be serious.
2/ Must be properly and appropriately made up.
3/ 3 inch heels, (don’t want to over do things do we? Or do we???
4/ Time given for the staff members to go to Clothing advisers and colour and make-up coordinaters and for profesional make-up experts to attend.
5/ Free time given and discounts for waxing, legs body and eyebrows.
6/ Clothing appropriate for season. Summer dresses for summer obviously, warmer ones for colder times. Maybe allow cardigan?
Anything else?
Yeah, I know, too much time on my hands at present!!!

Hey
I go to the chat room often. Some girls admit to being not “dressed ” when they pop into it >I think it should be a rule that girls must be dressed to chat. I agree that at late night its inconvient to go th whole hog but a simple dress with bra and panties undeneath is not too hard to get into or even just a nightie. It might be worthwhile to ask the girls if they feel different chatting when dressd .It might be that some of the bitchiness that apparently happens at times there might be related to not dreessing … Just a thought
Of course we would have to take girls at their word on whether they are dressed,but the girls ive met thee seem to be really nice,kind and honest – perhaps they are fully dressed when there …

Well, that rules me and possibly about half the girls out.

If I dress, I dress completely. I personally don’t see myself as dressed if just wearing a dress and some underwear.

I certainly feel more relaxed when dressed, but when I’m immersed in a conversation in the chat room, I get so immersed in the conversation that I forget whether I’m dressed or not.

Maybe I don’t spend enough time in the chatroom. I’ve seen some joking remarks that could be misinterpreted but I’ve never seen any bitchiness.

Hi, i agree with Alice on this one. I don’t feel really dressed unless I am fully dressed (including make-up), But I can’t dress very often due to the current situation (kids in house), so when I chat mostly I am in boy mode physically. However it is me chatting, not him, and dressed or not I enjoy the chat. 😆

I have never experienced bitchiness in the chat room either Alice. It is a lovely venue for us all to communicate and whether we are dressed or not is irrelevant.

On the original topic I too feel much calmer and more relaxed when dressed (unless I am peeking out the window in case someone comes home early eek! 😯 ). At those times I can put him away for a while, forget about the worries and stress of daily life and just be the loving joyfull person I am really am.

I wish you all much love, peace and joy

Don’t see how you could enforce this, even assuming there is an honour system. And it might be difficult for some to do so.

Sorry girls !
I seem to have stirred up a bit of a mini storm here Perhaps im talking more about myself than others here. I find that I feel more at ease in th chat room even when wearing just a nightie there.Yes the girls there are nice and friendly in th chat room and perhaps at first visit or so I thought there was some bicthiness there – mistake on my part , mistaking friendly banter for bitchiness.
I agree ther is no way to enforce such a rule and on reflection it is inappropiate ! We do not need rules like that.
For my part though I always feel more at ease when wearing just a simple outfit .But then liveing alone I have the chance to slip into a simple dress and underwear or nightie when i come home .But thats my situation and when I think of the home situation of many girls it makes my idea look silly
Sorry Girls – something I wrote in haste

I think personally when chatting or making any contribution to TR it is much more important what comes from your heart rather than what you are wearing at the time.

Personally I would almost never be on TR if I had to be dressed at he time

Don’t worry about it Suzanna, it’s a nice idea really, all the girls sitting round their computers all over the country dressed up nicely, like an internet ladies tea party. I hadn’t noticed any bitchiness here but I do know what you mean. Years ago there used to be a really great net chat room, everyone was friendly but then a new wave, or new generation, discovered us and a lot of ‘so called’ t-girls appeared who just liked to hear their own voices and take over the party.
There is another group that I nip into now and again, and again, and again, Ilike to keep up with what’s happening over seas but I don’t even try their chat room any more, just got ignored, I felt it was very clickey. But that’s like life in general isn’t it? If you don’t like the party find another one! As for me, I like T-Radio, I have met some nice caring people and, more importantly, it suits me.
Cheers, Helen
