Crossdressing is more common than many people think. While exact numbers are hard to pin down due to the private nature of the practice, various studies and surveys suggest that a significant number of men engage in crossdressing at some point in their lives.
Here are a few points to consider:
Prevalence – Estimates vary, but some studies suggest that around 5% of men in Western countries have crossdressed at least once.
Cultural Acceptance – In some cultures and communities, crossdressing is more openly accepted and visible, which can influence how common it appears to be.
Online Communities – The rise of the Internet has allowed people who crossdress to connect with others more easily, creating supportive communities and making the practice more visible.
Media Representation – Increased representation in media and entertainment has also contributed to greater awareness and acceptance of crossdressing.
5% of the USA male population is 8.3 million. That’s equal to the population of New York City. So we have a lot of company. However, starting out, most of us thought we were the only person in the world who crossdressed, but as we explored our good fortune, we discovered that there are many others similarly blessed.
Back when I was slipping into my mother’s wardrobe, there were no “crossdressers;” there were only “transvestites.” I don’t recall how or when I learned that term (“There’s a ‘term’ for me!”), but when I learned it, I immediately began researching it and quickly concluded that I was not alone, but I had no idea how much company I had.
Joining a support group expanded my education. I was active in that group for about 15 years and I probably saw 200 different members come and go.
Amazingly, two sisters in my support group were members of the same local ham radio club that I belonged to! One, in particular, I spoke with via ham radio quite frequently – long before we knew we were sisters. That made me wonder how many other sisters did I already know only in boy mode!
After I started this blog and mentioned a few times that I was a ham radio operator, the closet doors were flung open and I lost count how many other crossdressing hams came out to me… well over 100 in all.
And then there’s the Internet. Crossdressers are well-represented to say the least! Young and old, not just old ladies like me.
I even discovered that two close relatives also crossdressed!
We will never know how many sisters we have, but you can be sure that we are not alone... far from it!
