[FONT="Book Antiqua"][SIZE="2"]I thought I would create a list of reasons to crossdress, or reasons behind a desire to crossdress. Please keep in mind that the author is a plain old MtF crossdresser, nothing more, nothing less, so I can only enumerate along my own lines of thought. Your reasons may vary, or you may have no reason at all, or crossdressing may not even be a choice for you – I understand. Anyway, I wish to present my 100 reasons to crossdress:

1) Because you can...
2) Why not? Time is short...
3) You have a keen sense of touch, and you love the tactile nature of female clothing...
4) You enjoy “acting” out a role in your own ongoing autobiography...
5) Your heroes are all heroines...
6) Someone once dressed you up, and you liked it...

Well, that’s enough for now. Please feel free to add to my list of reasons any way you see fit – I don’t know why I write these things, but it has a lot to do with insomnia, I think. In case you’re wondering, many of the reasons on this list echo my own reasons for crossdressing, with a few notable exceptions. I am merely Freddy, a work-in-progress, and I am thankful for your support, my dear sisters...

PS – I am the most interesting boy on the block, but I have very little competition...
