I'm curious, out of all of the sissies and crossdressers, how may of you actally desire to be beautiful and how many of you do it for the humiliation aspect of it all?

When I "dress" I like to be as attractive as possible.   And that desire to be attractive means that I watch my weight, that I buy nice clothes (especially high-end lingerie), and that I generally try to be a credit to my wished-for gender.
When I SHOP, I enjoy the exposure and humiliation of being 'outed' as a sissy ... but I'd be downright embarrassed if I heard a clerk as another "Did you see the outfit that sissy was wearing!?"

Well when i dress Up i like the humiliation aspect of it . Now if i am going out i like to be able to be the best i can be so i can pass in public but at the same time there is also a humiation factor involved in it as there is always the risk of getting caught or read by people . So i like to look good but love the humiliaton possabilities

Well i do it strictly for the humiliation and for the male attention, i often dress up in my micro-mini skirt and high-heels, and take a slow walk down by the transvestite prostitute zone. As i'm nearing the hot spot my heart is racing and the feeling i get from my stocking clad legs, when they rub one another is so arousing.
As i reach the hot spot men are just focusing on my legs, my sexy legs often have men doubling back around the corner, it's so exciting, LOL.
