Dressing? No real change....

I used to have the notion that I looked better padded to a 38C or so, and she often asked me why I went so big. Now that I'm a solid B, and no longer padding, I guess I fit her ideas of proportions as I have not heard a word. Another thing, I used to dress a bit more sexily, and used more makeup. It seems that I've become more comfortable having become more bodily feminine, and feel better in more casual and appropriate clothing (still skirts), and am also only wearing little or no makeup. And only occasionally. I suppose that my changes in style and makeup could be interepreted as a lessening of desire, but I see it as becoming more befitting of who I've become as a result of the physical changes I've undergone, and continue to undergo. I'm arriving at a place that feels good, and I don't feel the need to be "sexy" nearly as often. Perhaps that was just me trying to appease my Psyche. Said psyche seems to have been slapped and put in it's place. It feels I'm in a spot where I'm not sure when I'm crossdressing, when I'm in male dress, or female dress. At the same time, I'm comfortable either way, as I feel appropriate for the situation, be it at home or out in public. Class D shapeshifter!

Patti,
This makes perfect sense to me..it is exactly what I've been through, even down to being happier with small real boobs than I was with the former larger fake ones!
I do think that the lessening of make up, and toned down clothes, goes with it, and that it is all a part of what we describe as reduced need to cross-dress. Although I say I have stopped cross dressing, I do still wear a bra and heels, and female jumpers and trousers when at home. Trouble is I do miss the slap and the tight skirts and stockings, and that's the bit that's gone!

However I think you are right, forgetting the deep analysis, I think that somehow the PM is satisfying the female side and removing the need to over-emphasise the female within by OTT external means. I've said before that I wear clothes that fit the occasion and I don't need to rub it in anyone's face, so I keep the incongruous stuff for at home.
