I do not think that turned me onto being a cross dresser. I had no desire to act like a girl. Just plain bored. Later I discovered the nice feeling of nylon slip hanging in the bathroom. That probably turned me onto the feel of the fabric. I still had no desire to be a girl. Maybe, when I was entering puberty I developed a sexual motivation to cross dressing, i.e., sexual release. I still did not want to become a woman. I still do not want to be a woman. That has caused me to develop my belief that each of us has a certain percentage of male and female genetic traits. Some totally repress the feminine traits. Some allow themselves to express the societal forbidden traits of the opposite gender. Even though I may have worn feminine clothing on occasion in the past, I think I truly became a cross dresser in the last twenty years. Before that I was still in the fetish stage.
