Many people assume that someone who crossdresses necessarily wants to become a woman, but that’s not always the case.
Is it possible to be a crossdresser without wanting to become a woman?
This is a question many people ask themselves, and Freda’s testimony shows that the answer is yes.
Some individuals feel the need to express their femininity, to wear makeup, to transform themselves, and to go out as a woman.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean they want to become a woman or undergo a transition.
For some, like Freda, crossdressing simply becomes a natural way to express a part of themselves.
Since I founded Transbeauté, I’ve encountered many different journeys. Some people want to transition. Others don’t. Yet, their femininity is undeniably present.
Freda’s journey perfectly illustrates this reality.
Freda doesn’t want to become a woman. She doesn’t want to transition. But she feels a strong need to live her femininity. To transform herself. To wear makeup. To go out. To exist differently for a few hours.
Over time, this desire has become a part of who she is.
Today, Freda shares her experience at Transbeauté and her story with you!
Hello Jennifer!
I’m Freda, 54 years old, a man, in a relationship with a man, and a commercial director in the fashion industry in London.
I started crossdressing six years ago, but I had already been thinking about it for a few years before that.
I never felt this desire as a child or before 2017.
The first signs were simply thinking about it, and even dreaming about it during my sleep.
Today, crossdressing is a part of me that I express regularly.
Since I started, it has become a part of me that I don’t think I’ll ever give up.
I don’t know why, but for me, I don’t need to ask myself that question. It’s simply who I am. It feels right, and it makes me happy and whole.
I’m not the one who should be asking why. It’s society that should ask itself why it doesn’t accept us.
We’re not hurting anyone. We’re simply expressing ourselves in a peaceful and positive way.
The first time, it was at home. I didn’t like my appearance at all: a cheap wig, hairy legs, and poorly applied makeup.
But I kept practicing.
Six months later, I went out to a bar in Soho called Opium with a friend. It was my first time going out. It was scary but also very exciting and thrilling.
Since then, it has almost become an addiction.
I don’t think my family would approve. They know I’m gay and fully accept it, but crossdressing is another story.
Despite this, I feel neither shame nor regret. For me, it’s natural.
Maybe I hide it from my family and a few others to avoid upsetting them.
Over the past six years, I’ve done a lot: going out to regular places, photo shoots, and visiting trans-friendly venues.
But there are still experiences I want to live.
One of them would be to travel as a woman. ( Transbeauté offers this service, just in case! )
I saw your Instagram profile and, since I was coming to Paris for a short stay, I thought it would be interesting to visit your makeup studio.
I had a wonderful time during the session. We laughed a lot, and I felt very comfortable.
I really like your studio, and your home is in a very pleasant area.
After the session, I met up with my friend, but in male mode. We walked around Paris, and in the evening, we had dinner at a restaurant with live music.
It was really nice.
For me, crossdressing has become a part of who I am.
I don’t want to be a woman, and I’ll never transition. But I think I’ll be a crossdresser for the rest of my life.
I’m not ashamed of it.
I’m simply happy to be able to do it whenever I want. It makes me happy and whole.
Thank you, Freda!
This testimony, like many others on my blog, is precious. They show that every journey is unique, but one thing often unites you: the need to share these moments with others who truly understand what you’re going through.
This is also why I regularly organize Transbeauté evenings.
And speaking of which… a wonderful opportunity is coming up.
I’m organizing a new Transbeauté evening in Paris on April 16, 2026.
The exact location and schedule will be announced very soon. But I can already tell you one thing: Freda will do her best to come from London to be with us.
This might be your chance to meet her in person, chat with her, and, above all, reconnect with other Jen’s Girls from the Transbeauté community.
These evenings are always special moments. We talk a lot. We laugh. We share our experiences around feminization, makeup, and trans identity. And most importantly, we realize something essential: you are not alone.
If this testimony speaks to you, then this evening is for you.
And I can already give you a little taste of what’s to come…
We’ll start the evening in a beautiful hotel near the Eiffel Tower, where we can prepare together, do our makeup, and share that magical moment when the transformation happens.
Then, we’ll continue the evening at a surprise location, where the theme will be Disco. So, you’ll need to plan an appropriate outfit… and a long dress will, of course, be perfect for those who wish to wear one.
The perfect combo to shine, dance, laugh, and fully live your femininity in a joyful and supportive atmosphere.
As always with Transbeauté events, spaces will be very limited: 10 people maximum.
So it’s essential to contact me now to secure your spot.
And you know me: first come, first served.
I’ll give you all the details very soon.
In the meantime, you can also reread the experience of the Jen’s Girls during the first Transbeauté evening.
