My mother didn't consciously encourage me (in general, she was a fairly traditional Southern woman), but one incident when I was a little boy almost certainly planted the seed, or fired my active...

I underdress fairly frequently, and I guess that makes me closeted in some way, although panties have been the focus of my "CD side" since I was a kid, and I've never had a strong desire to go out in...

I wouldn't be opposed to men wearing skirts or to wearing one myself, but I can't see it having a huge appeal to me as a crossdresser, for the same reason that I can't get excited about "panties for...

I had this happen to me at least a couple of times--once in childhood, when a girl wanted to put me, my little brother and her little brother all in her dresses and parade us in front of our mothers,...

I've been thinking about this lately, and it's occurred to me that I probably had more than the usual number of close female friends when I was a kid (pre-adolescence). I was frequently the only boy...

I'm 42, and my first, non-voluntary experience (a mom-induced borrowing of my cousin's clothes) was at about 4 or 5. The first time I remember making an effort to crossdress of my own volition, I...

I think everyone's purged at some point, and I have done it, usually due to fear of discovery--for example, I've been in the middle of moving, and there was no way to get my stuff out of its hiding...

Underdressing is always an alternative. You still have to be discreet, but at least the volume of what needs to be hidden is considerably reduced. (Laundry is easier, too.)

It's hard enough finding decent shoes to match my tinfoil hat.

Sounds like every time a female playmate wanted to dress me up when I was a kid, I'd beg off, not wanting to sound too enthusiastic and give away my secret. A boy who wasn't into CDing probably...

You're very welcome--I wish I had had a resource like this when I was young and feeling alone.

As I approached my own 40s, I was surprised to find myself more attracted to women around my age than I had been for a long time--I think it's partially that I can appreciate a more mature physical...

I officially deplore the idea of hiding things from one's spouse; that said, I've used just about all the tricks in the book. :( I've even just put my panties in with the regular underwear--folded...

+1 to all that's been said so far; get some counseling and keep getting your education. If it's a hostile environment (and most are when you're young and not able to be independent yet), you will...

The best approach, assuming you like your job and want to keep it, is to do your work and be professional at all times, and let the "haters" make fools of themselves. If you're following policy, you...

To echo some of what others have said, you may want to keep your CDing under wraps when at home, just to stay safe. As comfortable as most of us seem to be with ourselves, we do still need to pick...

With regards to the intra-uterine hormone issue, I would be curious to know if there's a greater proportion of CD/TS, etc., genetic males born during the peak years of the use of DES
(1940s-early...

I've been asked the same question, basically "why wear something that's not designed for you", and tried to explain that not everything is done for the sake of appearing female, that some things...

Currently underdressed--Barely There bra and Vanity Fair panties. Finally, a bra that fits my natural chest just right! So of course they've discontinued it. :( (#4285, if anyone's familiar with that...

I don't know if I can say it made me who I am, but my mother and her sister having dressed me in my cousin's clothes (most memorably, to my impressionable young mind, her panties) certainly opened my...

To me, that sounds like a case of "I know I'm not supposed to say anything, but it makes me a little uncomfortable, so I'm going to try to relieve the tension with humor." Go easy on them, I think...

I had an elaborate reply almost done, and lost it. But anyway, for me, it comes down to partly comfort, depending on what exactly I'm wearing, and partly that " I've got a naughty secret" factor,...

I'd say I'm an outlier or a variant (to use a couple of terms mentioned above), but hardly a mistake. As a kid I assumed I had to be the only boy anywhere who really liked to wear girls' clothes, and...

My initial thinking is that he probably won't ever completely grow out of it, based on my own experience--but then to me, at that age dresses and panties were forbidden fruit (as I lived in a house...

I think this has a lot to do with not wanting to be labeled, and not have our thoughts and feelings defined for us according to a stereotype that someone else has in mind without knowing our whole...
