Hi Lynn, I used to chat to a cross dresser online. I'm a straight female but it opened my mind...he said it makes him feel closer to the woman, to understand how women feel too, and even sometimes in a mother/son way. I suppose it's always nice when we know some men are in touch with their feminine side, even if it's in a different way to what we perceive as 'normal'. Whoever you know that is like this is no less of a man, and maybe even more of one??!!
