The seriousness of crossdressing

This is what we cant make out as Crossdressers but we've had years to digest that we are crossdressers so easy for me to say?

But we don't see it as serious or a threat to our relationships, although we fret and worry over others finding due to the social stigma and misconception about “Our type of crossdressing”.

To others in the Trans world it is very serious but for us it's a bit of fun and we don't take ourselves serious when we dress up.

Some other Trans people don't like us for this .. we don't take it serious as to us we're men finding some enjoyment in occasional crossdressing.. We don't want to live as or be women.. we're ok the few opportunities we get to have crossdressing as our escapism.

We sort of get that wives think its a serious thing but its not.. This is so hard to explain.

Its just a bit of fun the same as if we dressed up as something else… you'd be ok if we dressed up as something else but we dress up like women which makes it serious weird behaviour to you.. to us this makes us go arrghhhhhhhhhhh! Lol I don't know how to explain this but as women feel its a serious problem (Gay, perverted, sexualised, transvestism, transexual, we're not good enough that's why he does it… wrong on all counts)

We tend to hide that we crossdress and find it hard to talk about it.. what's more serious a man dressing as a woman 12 times per year for his escapism or a man with a drink problem to escape stress?… or a man hiding other secrets from his wife and not being open and honest?
