Wish I didn't feel this way

Most of the time on the weekends I feel like a prisoner. Why would I feel this way you ask, well I will explain?

I enjoy wearing women's clothing, so in theory I am a crossdresser since that is the best definition of me.

In today's society most crossdressers are looked down upon, however it is slowly becoming more accepted by the younger people and in some of the larger cities.

Most people think crossdressers are gay, which from the studies I have found on the internet is FALSE. From what I have found between 85% to 95% of crossdressers are heterosexual (straight) and a lot of these crossdressers are in a relationship with a woman. I think the reason most people think that crossdressers are gay because the straight ones don't like to draw attention to themselves.

I live in a small town with very conservative views. I know there is a guy that lives here that is/was transitioning into a woman. From what I heard from friends and co-workers he/she was looked down upon and bad things were said about him/her. So, because of this I know I would never be accepted for what I enjoy doing.

I'm not sure exactly why I enjoy wearing women's clothing, but I do, and I feel more relaxed when I am dressed as a woman. I do NOT wear make-up or a wig, however I have thought about getting a wig lately but not sure why I want to.

Now to explain why I feel like a prisoner.

Because of where I live, when I get all dressed up, I don't leave our house. When we didn't have neighbors, I would occasionally go outside for a quick moment. I also went out for a drive, knowing that I could go out to my car and back to our house without fear of being seen by our neighbors.

I know some will tell me the hell what others may think, but since I do live in a small town my actions would affect not only myself, but my wife, kids and possibly my grandkids. I would never do anything to affect my family in such a negative aspect, so I just accept the fact that I am a prisoner trapped in my house while I am dressed as a woman.

This is what I am wearing at the moment

I understand this post it is sad but way to true in many places a manor a woman should be able to dress the way they want to the clothes are on their bodies that is my opinion anyway.
That dress looks great on you if a woman was wearing it nobody would complain about it being to short or to revealing heck a woman can wear a bikini in most places and if there’s a complaint about distractions it is still the men’s fault they need to learn not to look.
Sorry I got carried away.

The world is the way it is.
I don't even crossdress within my home.
My escape is mostly via virtual worlds like "Second Life".
It's less problematic.

@EavHDD @happilymarriedguy I don't bother with makeup except for lipstick. I put my hair in a ponytail From the back I can be mistaken for a woman if one only glances but not if they see my face. But no one cares; there really is no need to feel pressured to look exactly like a woman, not where I am at least.
