I liked not being burdened with a heavy purse. I liked all my clothes being merely functional and not highly decorative. I liked wearing simple, comfortable shoes. I liked feeling more comfortable with my big belly -- such an obscenity to have a big belly as a woman -- not so, as a man. It was very freeing and while i don't intend to transition i learned i DO like to cross-dress. It adds more variety to life, to experience life as another gender. My voice is a dead give-away tho, as it is high and feminine. I will have to work on striking a lower pitch when i cross-dress. It was such a transformative experience today, i was devastated to get negative feedback on it and so appreciate you chiming in, especially as a mom of a trans daughter!

The term may be "cultural appropriation." If, for example, you posted that you were celebrating Shabat on Friday nights so you could feel what it's like to be "like you, Beth, a Jew" I would feel weird.
