I feel suppressed and it makes me depressed

I love make up, pretty dresses, heels and handbags, but because I was born male society dictates I should not wear any of these things. Every day I see beautifully dressed women and wish I could dress like them, but because I was given a Y chromosome at birth I have to wear horrible boring man clothes.
I know it’s 21st century and a lot of the old taboos have been suppressed, but if I were even to suggest to my wife that I put on the simplest of skirts or a top that looked mildly female she would flip out. Then there are family, friends and work colleagues to consider, none of whom would take me seriously ever again, so I just don’t feel brave enough to take the steps that say this is who I am. When 50% of the population can dress just how they like, why is it that the other 50% have to conform to strict dress codes to be fully accepted in society. No one thinks twice about a woman in a T shirt and a pair of trousers so why do those same women have such issues if I choose to wear a skirt and flowery blouse with a pair of heels!

    You won’t know till you talk to your wife. Heck, you may decide just dressing up around the house would be enough and she could be ok with that.

    Also men’s clothes don’t have to be boring.

      My wife knows how I feel. She thinks it’s disgusting.

    Are you sure it's not oppressed, or maybe regressed, but you could decompress or in fact you might try being overly depressed by the non depressed that are overly expressed by the lack of nonexpressed implying that they regress and give everybody some pills and wont no one be depressed. 《--- I wrote that before I read your post.
    Seriously I think there are women who feel that a guy might just actually look better in her bra and panties and a dress of hers than she does.
    Also, myself I call it the "social majority" that seems to dictate what we wear, eat, drink, how we should feel about people 5000 miles from us that we will never meet and your life and those 5000 miles away will never cross. But yet that "social majority" seems to want to dictate so many aspects of lives that have not a fucking thing to do with them. I am a crossdresser and even tho like you say its 21st century and all, I pretty much keep my dressing private and home. I have female and a couple male friends that know and I dont flaunt anything, except 1 or 2 of the females have asked to see me dressed in something. But then I'm not married either. And I dont have kids to worry about running in and out. I can stay dressed like I want all day, (until the doorbell rings).
    Honestly tho, if you felt the same way before you got married, it would have been a real good idea to talk to her and discuss with her and see how she reacts. Who knows, depending on your ages she might have been able to accept it back before you got married. At this point you dont know or well you think she would not like the idea of it all.
    If you go to www.crossdressers.com you can get ideas on how to talk go your wife if you choose to, or get the thoughts from women when their man told them, be it good or bad.
    Good luck.

    Mens clothes don't have to be boring. That's only if you choose to dress in the most plain shirts but there's lots of nice mens shirts and trousers and even accessories too. Though if you wanna actually dress stereotypically feminine in flowery dresses and such, well that's different but as you said it's far more widely accepted in society nowadays.

    You should talk to your wife. There isn’t anything wrong with what you feel. Embrace it.
