did parents make any one wear girly things?

[jenifer m.]

are any of you ladies out there the victoms of a parent making you wear girls clothes? my mother started me dressing very early. i even had to wear tights to school cuz my mother said they were cheaper than thermals,but i know she just wanted me dressed up even if it was a little.any body else have this?

[trisha11]

I dont recall my mother ever dressing me up but I played dress up with my older female cousins. They thought it was cute.

[Maria Heels]

I too remember wearing tights under my pants in the coldest days of winter...now who gave those to me? hmmmmm

[helenr]

I remember as a small boy getting my sister's hand me down blue jeans. nothing erotic about it, but the zipper flap was reversed. once on a trip, as a young boy, I forgot my pajamas and my godmother gave me a nightie to sleep in-nothing sexy or exciting--just a cotton one. I was already crossdressing before then-big sister's pink nylon panties-too young for any 'thrill', but I felt driven-and that has remained for over 55 years, though now no longer 'erotic'. helenr

[MissAmy]

No, but I'm sure some of the people here got "forced" to maybe because they lifted a girl's skirt, and then their parents made them dress up as punishment.

[martha mars]

this is right on the nail head

i came home from the hospitl as a new born in a dress mam and dad both worked out plus we farmed . there is 11 of us kids my oldes sister took care of us me being in a dress coming home she though it was ai have alright so had more fem wear over the passed 57 years them male clothes in my youngs teens my oldes sister got me in to makeup then hose and heals .
so i have been this way all my life

[Diane Smith]

My mom used to put nail polish and lipstick on me when I was very little, like two or three years old. I wouldn't say she "made" me do it, since I enjoyed it very much, and even asked for it from time to time, but as far as I can remember, it was her idea the first time.

[marcy77]

My grandma got me started. She had fleas in her carpet and she gave me pantyhose to wear so that I could catch them when they jumped on my legs. I would sit on the couch for hours wearing pantyhose with my grandmother watching TV. You can't buy that level of aceptance anymore:).

P.S. I've been wearing pantyhose ever since

[Kath]

I think I have an interesting one. Parents really didn't make us wear anything femmine.

However, my mom and her best friend always made something for each others kids at Christmas. My mom had two boys, her friend had two girls. One time she was making dresses and wanted me to put a dress on so she could set the hem. I pitched a bloody fit, well Dad strongly suggested I knock it off and do what mom wanted. I remember standing on a chair with the dress on and experiencing a most wonderful feeling "down there" I was too young to know anything about erections or anything else but I liked that feeling.

Can't say that made me the CD that I am but I sure do remember that moment and honestly don't think I had ever tried on mom's girdles or stuff before that incident.

[Anna_S]

My sister was two years older than me. I got pressed into wearing the stuff she grew out of at a young age.

[Anna_S]

Oh and yes.... my sister was disabled. My mother made dresses for her, but I had to act as a model for them because my sister couldn't stand very well. Only just remembered that after all these years.

[t-girlxsophie]

my mother used to knit little woolen cardigans for friends and familys girl kids,she use to make me try them on for sizing etc,Can just imagine her reactions if I told her thats what led me to Crossdress:eek: (dont think it did though)

[cindychan]

At age 5 I had a purple girl's bike handed down to me from my sister. It had Miss Buzz written on the side covering and yes my male friends gave me heck about it!! Not the same as forced crossdressing but it was a pretty femme thing for me to have.:o

[MissAmy]

My grandma got me started. She had fleas in her carpet and she gave me pantyhose to wear so that I could catch them when they jumped on my legs. I would sit on the couch for hours wearing pantyhose with my grandmother watching TV. You can't buy that level of aceptance anymore:).

P.S. I've been wearing pantyhose ever since

why didn't she just buy a bug bomb?

[marcy77]

Don't know for sure. She probably never used one. She was probably afraid of getting her cats sick or poisoning their food.

[Toni_Lynn]

Oh my how I wish! :daydreaming:

This is the one thing from my childhood, that if they had been paying attention and not pre-occupied with the rat race, wuld have made my growing up so different.

The other night my wife and I were watching a movie nominally set in the 1960s, and oh how I sat there longing for having worn dresses like the girls my age wore back then.

If only my parents had seen through their prejudice, they would have had a perfect kid and not one who eventually went from all As in school in Cs.

But then again -- inner defenses kicked in and I didn't turn out so bad. I have a wife who loves me in every way, I can dress whenever I want to, and I have a job that pays better than great. And I have sweet dreams of wearing a cute little dress to grade school and being friends with all the girls

[tamyracd]

Yes mine was tights and my sisters coats because we lived in Chicago as a child also head scarves if i wanted to go outside to this day i don't why they didn't buy a winter hat or some thermals being the youngest with 3 older sisters i got lot's of hand me downs but not complaining. Don't know if it had any thing to do with my being a cd but life is what it is.

[BillieJoe]

As I have posted before, my mother did a number of things to me. If I ran out of underwear I would have to wear a pair of my older sister's panties and on occasion a girl's T-shirt with a little flower or ribbon on it. It wasn't until years later that I realized my older sister was 7 years older than me and it seemed like the panties and Ts I would have to wear were always new. This started when I was younger than three until I was about ten or eleven. I also had to be a dress model for dresses my mother was making for a girl cousin. Thing is we found those dresses years later after my mother passed away.
I never really minded any of this because I always thought of myself as a girl and wearing anything feminine in the safety of my own home did not really scare me. I realized later that my father and sisters didn't know anything about what I was going through. Neither I or my mother ever mentioned it to my father.
I donb't believe any of that had a major role in me becoming a CDer.

[PhillyGuy2Girl]

No one ever dressed me up femme when I was a child but I sure do wish someone would've dressed me up back then.

[tamarav]

I have two older sisters who loved to dress me as their little sister. I went everywhere with them, introduced to others as their sister. As long as I was with my sisters, Mom was happy for me to go anywhere with them. Even went on a few dates with one, just observed and picked up a few tips...

They realized how much I enjoyed it at a very young age, my hair wasn't cut until 4th grade, and I had pierced ears. What a life!

[tanyab]

My mother dressed me as a girl until I was about 5 years old. I think it was done properly with dresses, ankle socks, frilly knickers and long curly hair.

I can't really remember what I thought at the time but some of my older family members have told me about it. Maybe it gave me the desire to continue in later life. If so, I am so grateful.

[sherri52]

My mother use to make clothes for the less fortunate and used me as her model. I hated it, especially because she did it on the second floor at the window. She never sent me out in girls clothes. Two years later I was expierimenting on my own, but I don't think my mother dressing me started it.

[Tranny Tee]

One summer I was sent to stay with my aunt. . . . .
Nope, never happened.

[prom queen]

I used to be a model for dresses my mother made for my girl family members quite often

[NathalieX66]

I should have developed an adult baby fetish because my mother punished my by putting me in diapers one time when I was 6 for wetting the bed. She really meant it, and I enjoyed every aspect of that punishment. However, I had no interest in such things after that. My CD'ing is uniquely me, and me alone....don't know how I got here, but I did.

[Karen564]

My mother only dressed me in boy clothes...
By the age of 7, I absolutely Hated wearing clothes meant for a boy, but that didn't stop her from buying more boys clothing..:sad:

[TommiTN]

When my Mom figured out that I was wearing her stuff (she never actually caught me) she confessed that she had often dressed me up as a little girl when I was very small. She said she had wanted her first born to be a girl and got a charge out of unknowing strangers telling her how cute I was. She blamed herself for my desire to crossdress. I don't remember any of it, but I sure wish I did. I didn't start dressing on my own until some years later when I was about 12. Hard to say if my early childhood experiences had anything to do with it.

[Jamie48]

No I was never dressed femme as a kid. I discovered this all by myself.

[Daintre]

From pictures I have seen, and talks with my older sister I found out my mother dressed me in my sisters hand me downs until I was aged 3, the final time was in a Baptismal dress which I guess was common at the time. After age 3, I was dressed always in boy clothes.

[VikkiVixen7188]

Not here, I had the father that was trying to overly masculinate me from day one.... lol that worked well :)

[Jaydee]

When I was 10, I was taking ski lessons. My mom got some tights from one of her friend's daughter for me to wear instead of thermals. I didn't like it at first, but soon came to love the feel. I don't know if that triggered my CDing, but it was my first experience with it.

[shayleetv]

My mom used to dress me all the time when I was a baby. My older sister was never a happy child and she really wanted a happy little girl. I was a happy little boy with beautiful white blond curls just waiting for some attention. Mom took pictures and I saw them when I was older. Too bad I didn't get copies when mom was alive because dad threw them all out after mom passed away. In those pictures were all the shots of her dressing me as well as when my sister used to dress me and all the shots of me in the Cub Scouts when I was completely dressed as a girl in the skits we put on, which was about a third of the pack meetings (I was the designated "girl" because I was the only one in my den that didn't mind being the"girl"). All of those shots of me lost and gone. Probably the most devastating thing my dad ever did to me, because he knew I wanted those pictures and he did it purposely. He did later apologize and asked me to forgive him. I think he tossed the pictures because he was jealous of the relationship mom and I had and he didn't.

[jenifer m.]

sorry to hear it that sucks.

[Xcindyx]

Sadly not me. My mom used to get really pissed off when I would get caught wearing girly stuff.

[sometimes_miss]

It's not that she 'made me', it's that I was too young to know there was something wrong with it. I was a toddler when she would dress me in my sister's clothes; by the time I knew what she was doing, she told me it was just so that I wouldn't ruin my 'good' boy clothes. As I was playing alone the vast majority of the time, I guess no one else knew what was going on. She also let my hair grow inappropriately long, I remember my dad asking when she was going to take me for a haircut and she would make excuses about being too busy even though all we did was stay at home or not doing it to save money, even though she was spending on stuff for the house. One of my earliest memories was of someone looking at me in a stroller saying what a cute little girl I was, so I guess I was wearing something inappropriate that time as well. She also would sew red and blue stripes into panties that my sister had outgrown and try to make me think they were the same as boy's fruit of the loom briefs, again, supposedly to save money; she told me since they weren't worn out by putting in the stripes they were the same as boys underwear. I guess she didn't think I'd know the difference. It wasn't until many years later that I discovered the underlying reasons that she really wanted me to have been born a girl.

[HannahF6]

I've written about this on this forum before, yes my mother dressed me up frequently. She was a very good dressmaker and specialised in weddings. When I was the right size she'd use my as a live manikin. In my life I must have worn maybe 30 bridal gowns and maybe 50 or 60 bridesmaid dresses and I just loved the feeling of a big frilly dress.

I remember one time getting very silly with her and really dressing for the part and pretending I was walking down the aisle, then suddenly my mother got upset and wanted the dress off me. I found out later that she'd suddenly realised that I looked better in the bridal gown than the girl who was due to wear it for real. My mother often said that I should have been born a girl.

[Danielle Gee]

But they sure turned a blind eye while my older sister did!! My parents called me Melissa when she had me dressed. They acted as if it were the most normal thing in the world.:brolleyes:

Wow! You are so lucky! This almost reminds me of the one boy scout meeting that I went to -- dressed as something stupid like a cowboy -- where several of the boys were dressed as girl scouts and brownies, and one was quite proud of the fact that he was wearing a training bra -- and had to show it to us. I was green with envy.

Damn -- this thread has made me sad in some ways as I look back and imagine the life that should have been, if only ....

My mother once bought a dress for the daughter of a friend who lived abroad. The daughter was about my age and size and my mother made me try on the dress to make sure it would fit her friend's daughter before she posted it.

As I was only 8 or 9 at the time, I pretended to hate doing it but, of course, I really totally loved it!:battingeyelashes:

[Veronica Nowakowski]

I have been forced by my mother to wear girls' pants when I was 10, because she didn't believe me that they were, insisting she found them in the boys section. She was admonished after my first time wearing them out of the house by my aunt.

But that should have scared me away from dressing because it was humiliating at the time, but I somehow came back to do it on my own.

My brother, by comparison, was forced to wear my sister's pajamas once because my parents forgot his when we went on vacation. I finally talked them into letting him sleep in his underwear because I couldn't look at him without laughing, and they were upset that I was involuntarily doing this. It wouldn't have been as funny if he had chosen to wear them.

[KatieEvans]

I rememeber once i was at my mums friends and her daughter dressed me in a ' nurse ' play outfit, then a few weeks later my mum dressed me in a black dress with black tights/pantyhose. didn't really remember until reading this thread

[Leanne2]

From about age four I started to wear dresses but my mother didn't know about it. When I was seven she caught me wearing a dress. As she helped me take it off all she said was," boys don't wear dresses." When I asked why she just said, " because."

[Mistybtm]

Once when i was in a school play i had to wear tights, MMMM maybe that is where it all started :battingeyelashes::battingeyelashes:

[RockerTerri]

nope.

[Jason+]

But they sure turned a blind eye while my older sister did!! My parents called me Melissa when she had me dressed. They acted as if it were the most normal thing in the world.:brolleyes:

My little brother one time helped my parents "find" a stash of panties that I had. They were taken away and bleached and either given to my sister or disposed of. They made it clear that it was "a road I didn't want to go down," and asked me to promise never to bring them home again. I have often wondered what the effect would have been if they had reacted differently. I don't think that it would have made me like this any less but might have changed the guilt load. A few years back my dad did soften his stance in that if clothes are the worst thing I do in a day I am pretty okay.

[ellenwannabe]

no, I just started wearing my moms things when I was about 5-6 years old and have worn female clothes for the past 25-30 years on a daily basis even at work (I was an RN) and wore white faded glory jeans and white pantyhose and womens nurse mates shoes and a white scrub top - I don't even know what my male sizes are anymore - Ellen

[Soriya]

Yes! She used to dress me as a young child, as early as 2 years old, she dressed me as a witch for Halloween. I don't remember it but it is on home videos. I do remember her dressing me at home after that but never made me wear anything out. Later around 12 years old is when I started to dress on my own.

[brassieres]

The only thing that my mother did was hold a pink footed pajamas up to me at a department store, because I was about the same size as a friend of hers that she wanted to buy a Christmas present for.

[brassieres]

Oh yeah, I did forget, she did dress me in women's clothes once when I was a teen and she found out about my crossdressing. It was only that one time though.

[teather]

No - when she found out I was wearing stockings and suspenders she was really upset and told me that she hadn't been able to sleep for days. I was in my late teens at the time and for years I had been going out of the house with borrowed girls clothes, changing in the car, and just driving around. Later, she also asked me if I had been borrowing her lipsticks - I told her I hadn't - but I had, I had probably tried all her makeup. Later in the summer, my parents and younger sister went away for their summer holidays leaving me at home alone for two weeks, when I dropped them at the airport she made a point of telling me 'not to be silly' - I knew what she was hinting at. I was working during the day but in the evenings, at home alone, I spent most of my time dressed in clothes borrowed from my sister's wardrobe.

[HannahF6]

Absolutely I was dressed girly by my parents, though likely not "forced".

My mother was an expert dressmaker and did a lot of complete weddings, bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses etc. When I was a young teenager I was the right height for a young woman and was often asked to try dresses on to see how they moved. In my youth I must have worn maybe 20 wedding dresses and maybe 50 or 60 bridesmaid dresses. I remember one time getting a bit silly with my parents, I guess they thought I looked great in the bridal gown so they dolled me up and my father pretended to lead his older daughter down the aisle. We had a good laugh about that.

Hannah

[gabimartini]

Never happened to me. Quite the opposite, my parents always wanted me to be the perfect firstborn boy.

[Missy Tanya]

I remember seeing a professional photo shoot of me as a baby. My mom didn't want to upset whom ever bought the "dress" for her boy, so I got dressed up and pictures taken of me as a girl. I was probably 18-24 months old at the time, the last time I passed!!! Lol I have been looking for them again, but we had a fire many years ago and I'm afraid their lost.

I tease my mom about it at times, she doesn't know I dress up today, but still fun to give her poop about it every so often. She even had a doctor of her's transitioned , MTF, and I tell her that she makes men want to become female. I guess I'm breaking her in for the big day, not going to happen, if I got anything to say about it. She can live in peace without thinking I'm weirder that she thinks already.

She did teach her only child to shop, I'm not too sure that was a good thing or not!!!

Tanya

[marlacd]

My mom did dress me up like a little girl a couple of times when I was too young to remember anything about it. The one thing I do remember about it was the trip to the barber shop, to get my long hair cut into a butch. And I remember that I cried troughout the whole thing. The way my father put it, we are building a boy. Now if my dumb-ass father had followed up on what he was trying to do, he might have been sucessful. Having zero info on dating, a sex talk, or other nesisarry things on being a male, doesn't get you too far.

[Alice C]

As an only child, I didnt have any sisters to borrow things so i would sneak some time with moms stockings, slips, etc. Was always fascinated by womens clothes and my first big opportunity came wen I was pledging for a college fraternity in 83. All pledges had to show up at a party in drag per the pledgemaster.
I nervously mentioned it to mom and she smiled and shared she thought some of her things were streched out a bit and we would have to go shopping and we were off to her local dress shop. I admit I was embarassed when she advised her SA friend and our neighbor but she was great.
Took me to a dressing room, took measurements and came back with a corset and panties. I blushed deep red and she said lets go and I had the panties on and she was lacing me in to the corset. I swam on the college team and my body was clean shaven . When she put the stockings on, what a sensation. Black dress and accessories followed. Had to undress and stopped with mom for a pair of pumps. On the day of the party, my mom drew me a bath with oils and started to help me dress. She set my hair in rollers and painted my nails in her favorite red color, a first on both counts. I finished dressing and was off to the party. I was shocked because I was the only pledge who went all the way, some guys just put on a dress , amkeup and a cheap wiig. I go a little too much attention , especially from girls who complimented me on the loook and gave a pinch or two.

[VanessaVW]

My grandma dressed me up a few times when I was 4 or maybe 5. It was fun and nothing humiliating. Mom and Dad were furious when they found out it happened, but I guess it made a lasting impression!

[Darla Jean]

My mom, who I loved, was a seamstress, but never had a little girl to sew for a dress up...but she would still make dresses and the like when I was young and, of course, I was the model. I did not like it then, but later I so enjoyed the feel and comfort - I am jealous of those who can dress 24/7 - that is on my bucket list.

[Karren H]

Only in my dreams..

[Lexine]

When I was one or two years old my mom and my aunts would clothe me in girly dresses. I have photos at my mom's house to prove it!

[Sophie_C]

Nope. If anything, it was the opposite.

[MissyW]

Nope

[Naomi Rayne]

I am pretty sure it was a friends suggestion that i do it. At some point when i was a kid my mom had this old bridesmaid dress, the shoes that went with it, and some stockings that she threw in mine and my sisters play area and figured my sister could use it or something.

This one time a GG friend of mine had the stuff on and got tired of whatever role she was trying to play in it and took it off and threw it at me and said here you try. I don't remember what went through my head but the next part of my memory im wearing the bridesmaid dress, shoes, and stockings playing a role.

I am pretty sure thats what did it and from then on i was sneaking hose every once and a while to be in.

[Dawn Andrews]

Not a parent, but a teacher! I was cast as one of the Ugly Sisters in a school pantomine when aged about eight. The only good thing was that I got to wear Miss' clothes and as she was young and modern I suppose there may be something of a start for Dawn from that time.

It wasn't long after that I started trying on Mum's clothes.

When I was in a relationship with a girl, we were living together, she had the habit of wearing my jackets, t-shirts. I used this to my advantage and told her that if she wore my clothes I would wear hers. It was the one and only time I have dressed in front of someone else.

My dad made me wear a nightdress once when i was about 8 i think, this was as a punishment because he said i was acting like a girl... How little did he know!

[Deborah Jane]

Not a chance, if my dad had even suspected anyone of dressing me up he would have gone nuts:eek:

Good job he never discovered I dressed myself up though :heehee:

[MrKunk]

No my parents didn't encourage my crossdressing. I grew up with my step sister
and other female relatives. My first sensation of this was my step sister allowing me
to rub her tights while she wore them. Both her and my other female relatives also allowed
me to rub them through there swimsuits when no one was watching. I loved the feeling of the
material of both the tights and the swimsuits, so I found some tights and a swimsuit that were
my step sisters, since we were close to the same size. I loved the feeling of the clothes while
they were on and it felt erotic, so the rest is history.

[jessi]

I think my mother wanted a girl, but got a son as her first child, instead.

I was born in 1968, so I grew up in the 70s-80s. The early 70s was a time in which it was fashionable to dress young children in a unisex manner, and I think my mother jumped on this bandwagon as an excuse to dress me in girl's clothes.

For example, I have pictures of me as a toddler in which I'm dressed in a green and white striped onesie. Clearly it was meant for a girl. But as I grew a bit, I grew a boy's face, so she stopped. There's a period where I can't find any photos of me in girl's clothes.

The main period of her buying girl's clothes for me was between the ages of 8-12. Like a lot of kids my age, I had a Andy Gibb/Dorothy Hammell-style mop of hair (it was fashionable in the late 70s) and had not yet hit puberty. I had a high, expressive voice that sounded like a woman's voice, and had long legs, a small torso, a feminine fat distribution, and some girlish mannerisms. I was mistaken for a girl often, and my mother capitalized on it when she took me shopping. She bought me girl's jeans that did not have obvious feminine markings on them (but some girls in my class noticed that I had jeans in the exact style as one of them). She bought me girl's sweaters and a teal winter coat that had rainbow piping on it and a powder blue reversible interior. I had women's sneakers, and my mom told my father that I had picked them out. So I could go skiing with a friend's church group, she took me out shopping, and I ended up with a woman's cornflower blue snug-fitting ski suit. I had (and have) a narrow ribcage and somewhat flared hips, and the design of the suit only emphasized these features. Everyone on the slopes thought I was a girl. She usually wanted to buy me a feminine version of what we needed to buy, and I either resisted or ended up with something only slightly feminine. At 12 or 13, I could insist on shopping on my own, and I bought boy's/men's clothes at that point. In my adolescence, I hated being mistaken for a girl, and spent many years overcompensating for it.

I only discovered years later that most of these items were girl's/women's clothing, when I was packing these items to be donated. It made me sad and a bit angry.

Within the past few years, I have perceived a pitch black side of my mother's soul (for reasons irrelevant to the nature of this forum). Long story short: I believe that she was doing it on purpose to take revenge on my father, among other reasons. Whatever her true reasons, it wasn't harmless fun.

Of course, I enjoy CDing. I am not sure how much this is a result of my childhood experience. Probably my CDing started because being mistaken for a girl made me curious about how I would look in female clothing, and then seeing myself in the clothing and feeling the clothing on me gave me a sexual thrill. Simple as that. Although I can apportion blame to my mother for other things, I don't blame her for my CD proclivity.

[JuliaKay]

My big sister started dresssing me so we could play girly games together.

[Chari]

As a child, about 4 years old, I thought I was being good, but Mother thought differently & punished me by "forcing" me to first wear frilly aprons to help her do the house cleaning, washing dishes, laundry, and ironing. Every time she said I "was bad", which I remember was quite often, I had to wear another girl item. By the time I was 7, I was wearing my older sisters short dresses or jumpers, lacey slips and panties, white socks, and shinny black T strap shoes. She added ribbons to my shoulder length hair, screw on earrings, and pink nail polish. Mother would always inspect all my house cleaning chores with a white glove, and have me do it over & over again until she was satisfied. In my pre teens, she made me wear a maids outfit, and I became her "sissy maid"! At the beginning of each school year, Mother would take me shopping for clothes - usually getting 3 or 4 complete girl outfits, but only one boy outfit. When we were in public, I was her "little girl". This humiliating ritual took away all my self worth and continued for many years, until my mid teens. After many years of "therapy", I finally accepted my feminine side.

[Dian077]

I am the youngest of three. I have one older brother and one older sister. My Mon said when I was born she really wanted a girl. My first baby picture was with a Blue jumper, of course, and a big curl on my hair.
I remember at a young age my sister dressing me up in her dresses, because she wanted a sister. I would play with her barbies and such. Then I would get really railed on by my brother and cousin.
Honestly I can not ever remember a time when I did not dress in some way in secret.

[Empress Lainie]

I remember my Mom telling me that people talking about me said she had a beautiful daughter. They were right, but she never knew it. She died before my transition.

I have only one picture of me at about 3. I had lovely long blond hair with curls and was in a cute dress.

I think my Dad always thought I was a sissy until I was grown.

[EllieOPKS]

On multiple occasions I was made to wear girls clothes as punishment. Initially it felt like punishment but I quickly learned to like the fem feel of the materials, and sometimes I would break rules just so I could wear them. Sometimes though, it would backfire - a paddling was also an option in our household.

Many times, just out of the blue my aunt would tell me that I would make a beautiful girl. She liked my long eyelashes and she would let me play in my cousins clothes when we had sleep overs. My cousin loved it.

[mapletree]

no
but i can remember helping a teen age crush model her dresses that she was making and I can remember how exciting this was to this day

I had a step dad who used to make me wear girls clothes from age 4 thru 7 when we lived in Germany for 2.5 years,he was in the military.

I asked him once why he did that,his reply was,when people are young they do stupid things.

I hope they put that on his grave stone.

[Eve_WA]

Made to.... no.

But there were times when I look back and say 'I wonder why they ALLOWED that?'

I can remember at least one time when I chose a female role in the school play when there werent enough girls who wanted to be in it. And they let me.

Another time in my early teens I wanted to dress as a woman for Halloween, and they let me. OH what a glorious experience THAT was!! Everyone thought I was the other kids' mother. I didnt take home much candy, but I got a much larger prize!

And on several occasions my stash of ladies things were discovered by Mom, and nothing said. They just disappeared.

Some of my earliest memories of shopping with my Mom was of cashiers teasing me on my lashes, and what a cute girl Id be!

Just part of the larger mosaic that is Eve.

[Jessica Keys]

yep, When I was twelve I thought my single mom and four year old sister were gone down the street for a couple of hours and they came back early and caught me dressed.
After a spanking wore panties for the rest of my teens and beyond. Was told it was easier for wash day work with all panties...ok

[Christie ann]

Only as a dream. Dad told me early on that when boys dress like girls they have an illness.

[anouk]

I wasn't actually dressed by my mother. However her friend put a black stocking to my head to test whether it would be a good mask for a "black king" in a school play. I was about six and felt very embarrassed.

[tiffanyjo89]

Well...this one's in the vein of "dirty clothes."

I had run out of underwear, and my mom told me, then after I refused, went and got me a pair of my sister's. It would be some time later when she'd buy me and my sister matching panties. I thought they were kinda weird, and would later realize that they were panties cause they didn't have a fly...

[Rachael Ray]

My mom was a beautician when I was young. She used me a few time as a wigstand for the wigs she was styling. Does that count?

[Penelope Marie]

My mother dressed me in my sisters-hand [me downs. though i can not figure why. i also have an older brother, seems i would have got his hand me downs ad not my sisters. Mom says she dressed me in girls clothing because they could not afford to clothe 3 kids at the time, but still i have to wonder why my sisters and not my brothers? oh well it's no big deal. i am pretty much happy with being what and who i am. only thing is i so wish i could go all the way. with breast, and the whole female works.

I've had a similar experience as well...

My mom was given a few pairs of pants from a female relative, and they were given to me as well. They are somewhat obvious as women's pants, and a look at the sizes reveals it as well (6s and 8s)...but they actually fit me wonderfully (but I digress).

[krissy]

:hugs: hi

my step dad did it to me he was in prison most of his life .if i messed up i had to wear my sisters clothes all day and i had to sit outside on porch all day its weird i liked it that pink party dress and panties but i saw he treated the girls better than us guys .but i came to like it

[Brooke Anderson]

My mother still to my knowledge doesn't know. My sister pretty much started me off when she dressed me as a girl one year for Halloween when I was very young. Little did she know that would lead to years and years of me borrowing her clothes.

[kayegirl]

Been thinking about this and the answer is Yes, but I don't think that it was any attempt to feminise me. Mostly it was a case of hand me downs from my older sister, or alternative clothing in an emergency. Money was tight and with four kids hand downs were necessary. Sweaters, jeans, the occasional plain shirt/blouse, and pjs, were handed down. I don't know if anybody ever realised how much I liked wearing these items, particularly the jeans which were inevitably narrow legs, and usually side fastening (shows my age), and the pjs, usually pink with a flower pattern, elasticated waist and without the hideous cords and gaping flies of the male pjs.
There was also the time when at a cousins house, I ripped my shorts so badly that they were unwearable, I was given one of my cousins school skirts to wear for the journey home on the bus, I still love pleated skirts!!!

[Vicki-Z]

No but I really wish that my mother would have made me. I always wanted to be a girl as far back as I can remember. Some help would have been nice. I'm sure I wouldn't have objected. :D


Vicki :hugs:

[larissa-laurie]

I remember in 1st grade if us boys played so hard we might wet our pants, so we had to wear panties then. In 2d grade the landlady put lots of makeup on me just for fun I guess. In 8th grade, my sister dressed me up in her Catholic school uniform using totally feminine underwear or lingerie, wig, makeup. She said I looked just like a girl and I should go to school with her and pass off as a girl. Little did she know that was the start of borrowing some of her lingerie to wear and self stimulate myself through highschool and through life secretly. I don't know why either but I absolutely loved slinky panties, panyhose, girdles, slips, bras and slippery, dresses or skirts. It was a tremendous stimulating sensation.

[Rita B]

My mother was an exceptional dressmaker with an affluent clientele. She also made costumes for a dance company. When I was 12 or 13 I must have been the right height and weight and she would use me as a model to do fittings and hems on dresses and gowns she would be working on. She also fitted wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses and prom dresses. She would have me wear high heel shoes and stand on a platform in front of a mirror while she h emmed the dresses. Although I would protest, I enjoyed the feel of the satin and how it looked on me. I then began borrowing satin slips and nightgowns from her bureau drawers to wear to bed. Although she was aware of this, she never really tried to stop me.

I was adopted as a child and I do believe that my mother really wanted a little girl! Check out the pic of me at 3

ok heres a thought I wold love to know if anyone has feelings about this idea.
there must be resceptors on our sex organs for her pheramons. and she or course leves theses where ever she is....in her panties.. dont know why ....but wow was that good!
well its hard wired to be good ! could have been crushed glass ...it still would have been good ! its all about babies! ??

[sandra-leigh]

I do not recall anything like this in my life, and have no reason to suspect it might be true.

I did get hand-me-downs, but as I recall, they were usually from the sons of my parent's friends. I do not remember any hand-me-downs from my sister, but it is not out of the question. If there was, it probably wasn't anything very obvious, nothing like panties or skirts, but maybe there were some shirts or something like that.

[Miley]

No, but how I wished I had been by loving and understanding parents who would let me be the girl I am inside.

[beccy]

no she didnt though i wish she had have done it would have made comming out to her alot easier.

[joannemarie barker]

When I was naughty I was often told if I didn't behave they'd put me in a dress.I tried so hard to be naughty enough :)

[Kat42]

No, never dressed by her that I recall.. I got nothing but handmedowns from my older brother.

But mum clearly had a bias for girls (I'll save the details for a more appropriate thread).

I think she knows I CD and probably caught me a couple times in her Vanity Fairs... but she may have played a role in starting that wheel in motion.

[Danamtv]

No, but after wearing her bras for a while I took one from a neighbors laundry. My mom was po'd when she found it because this neighbor was a bit on the busty side so it meant I had been wearing bigger boobs than she did.....

I thought this only happened in stories at nifty or something.

[Chloets]

Never was made to wear girl clothes by my parents...I started all on my own.

[tracycd]

i wasn't dressed by my mom but i would sure loved it if she had.

[thatcuteemochick]

first piece of womans clothing I ever wore was 'forced' upon me by my mother when I was 7. we had family and friends coming over and we were all about to go for a swim when we realised that my swimming trunks were nowhere to be found and the only other pants i had were jeans so cant go swimming in them.

parents first of all said ok you can just swim naked but at that age (as i still am) i was self conscious about being naked. so my mom went into her drawers and pulled out her old hot pink one piece and said well if you dont want to be naked you can be my daughter for the day. I put it on and it was heaven. been absolutely hooked ever since. a few weeks later I snuck into my mums room and put it on again she came in and said "you really like that huh?" I said "yes i want it" so she said "ok then its yours".

after about a year of swimming wearing it I grew out of it and iv been crossdressing ever since and my parents aren't aware of it.. i think anyway. but yeah hooked ever since I wonder what the rest of the family and our family friends thought of me that day wonder if any of them suspect anything either :)

[Jennifer in CO]

swimming wasn't what started it for me but was what set the hook. I was 10, Mom and Dad were headed on a 2nd honeymoon sort of vacation and I was dropped of at my Aunts to spend the next 10 days with her and my cousins (all girls - youngest was also an asthmatic so Aunt knew what to do for me). Middle girl I got on with great so when Mom offered me to go there I was all for it. They dropped me off that morning and that mid day Aunt broke out the slip-n-slide. We found out then my suitcase was still in the trunk of M/D's car. After watching cousins for about 5 minutes playing, I took my Aunts offer of cousins lilac bikini...all or none of it so I had to wear top too (she said she wasn't going to have customers thinking she let little girls run around half naked at her house). I never took it off the rest of the day. I stayed an extra week+ wearing nothing but cousins clothes..everything...dresses, shorts, tops, swim stuff..everything. Aunt was who named me...said it would have been the next girls name so I deserved it... I remember to this day what I was wearing and what she said when Mom came by to pick me up. "I thought I left a little boy here". I wore the outfit home... pink/white sailor shirt, pink shorts and pink socks...with white training bra and panty underneath. Mom wasn't too happy how I was dressed that I also remember. I don't remember when she made me change that afternoon or night but I also remember the cow she had when she saw my deep/dark bikini tan lines!

[notthereyet]

I have 3 older brothers. When I was born, my mom wanted a girl so bad she dressed me up as a girl when she took me home from the hospital. I don't remember it (but glad she did). She would be very surprised I stil dress up.

[krissy]

:hugs:hi

my stepdad used to make me dress in my sisters clothes and sit on the front porch all day .at first i hated it but i started to like it after a while .i didnt want to stop but he made me change before mom came home .and i couldnt tell her or he would kick my ass or my moms, this went on for years i still like to dress it makes me feel whole and happy :hugs:

[Bernadina]

Suspect my mum did and I didn't know it. Had a lot of clothes with labels removed. In retrospect, I suspect it was so I didn't know which store they came from. Might explain why it doesn't feel funny to do buttons up on either side.

[pernille d]

not really for me but , i will share this with you all as i think its still strange and one day i will ask my mon what its all about ,

i remember at under the age of 10 i asked very much to go to a fancy dress party as a bride, i dont know why but i remember it so well and that must have been the start of pernille
Around the same time around 8 to 10 years old for some reasion i dont realy know why but i ruined my school bag , so my mum made me go to school with all my books pencils in a real granny hand bag. can you imajine what effect that had.The 3 months with the hand bag marked me for the rest of my school days.( it did make me tough as nails and from then on i was able to take a lot of humillliation) i often wonder if my mother was just being mean or she could see or knew something i did not ???. a couple of years later she found out i had stolen her nylons , she was cool about it and was more worried that i had stolen from her , than the fact i had been wearing them.

[Toni_Lynn]

I'm going to toss this in here, for what its worth. This occurred yesterday, and perhaps its reality was a part of the hope in my heart that I saw what I wished for years ago, or perhaps its was something totally other.

My wife and I wear in Wal*Mart and I saw a boy and his mum. He was holding/ carrying a sundress. It was not an adult size, but rather a girls size. They were looking at girls clothes and she was asking him if he liked certain items.

Yes, I am sure it was a boy, given the haircut. He was not unhappy about what was going on, and very co-operative.

Okay -- they could have been buying a present for a friend or his sister. Or ....

If it was the other, God bless his mum! If it was that, I pray that he has the best summer ever. I also pray that no one ever hurts him in any way, emotionally, physically, or sexually, because he's different.

Maybe it was my mind reading into something, but my wife saw the same events and thought the same thing. She later said to me, "don't get all sad, because that wasn't you at that age".

Still, it brings hope to my heart that all mums aren't mean and nasty.

Huggles

[janelle]

Does wearing a little make up count when it was picture time at school?? If so than yes.

[BecomingMichelle]

I remember my mother sewing my sister and I matching sailor shorts. They didn't have a fly. I remember being a little confused at age 5 or 6 but I also remember feeling pretty.

[btelchy]

I remember picking out girls slippers out of the christmas catalog and actually getting them, ever since then, I could never stop. I think I was maybe 4 or 5 then, but the memory is so vivid.

[Jennifer T]

I was not forced at an early age, but mom use to ask me if I wanted to wear her underwear as she would not wash mine right away so i had clean clothes. I would wear them and liked it a lot. I am the oldest of three boys and showed the most interest in femmine things and she really wanted a daughter. She caught me a few times wearing her clothes and asked if I wanted to wear girls clothes all the time. I told her yes, so she started buying me girls underwear for everyday wear and lingerie for bedtime. Then she bought me some girls clothes as I got older for going out in. When she wanted to go shopping she would ask me if I would go with her and asked if I would wear the clothes she bought me. She would help me get ready and we would have the best mother daughter days together. Now that I am much older we still go a few times a year and have our mother daughter days and she enjoys our time together. I know I enjoy it as well.

[Michaela42]

For Halloween (Crossdresser's National holiday) one year, I wanted to dress as a female vampire(I was like 9-10). Mom had some clothes and shoes set aside for donation and I found an outfit that would have worked, but she said no. I was crushed.

Years later my brother was going to a Halloween party and guess what? He got to dress as a hooker!

Sometimes parents are so mean :Angry3:

[charlotte_sp]

Nope for me, but here's an anecdote:

When I was around 7, we had this classroom skit. I had a girl part, and all I had to do was put on a jumper (in this case, it was like overalls attached to a skirt) over my clothes. I complained and cried, and my bratty behavior got me out of it. In hindsight, I think I wanted to dress even then, but of course I was afraid what everyone else would think.

[lee in a skirt]

yep a bridesmaid dress. the funny thing is she now resents everything to do with dressing up hence why i hide it.

[Lacey]

My step mom gave me her old jeans, tees and canvas shoes for play clothes. My older brother used to yell at me for wearing girl clothes. "What are you GAY??" Loved that comment. :Angry3: My stepmom knew I dressed in her clothes and threatened to tell my Dad if i didn't knock it off. Then she would give me more clothes. Make sense? Once while it was just the two of us she came in with a pile of clothes and told me to get dressed. There was a bra , panties, navy blue slacks, a white top and navy blue canvas shoes. I got dressed (scared as all get out) went out into the kitchen. She turned and straightened my top and said lets go. We went to her Dad's , shopping, lunch and for frozen custard. Had a BLAST! Then when we got home she told me NEVER wear her stuff again or she'll tell my dad. :eek: messed up huh?:sad:

[Janessa]

I say this because at a since I was smaller than most boys all my shirts came from the juniors department until about age 13-14. Before that everything that I wore when younger I found out was essentially girls blouses.

[vivianann]

Yes, my mom punished me by forcing me to wear dresses. she started forcing me to wear dresses when I was about 7 yrs old til I was 13 yrs old.
I did not want to be forced to wear dresses, it was a traumatic experience, I do not recomend being forced to dresses, however over time I got use to wearing girl clothes, and by the time I was 9 or 10 I really enjoyed wearing dresses, I was hyperactive and my mother was always mad at me because I was always doing things that pissed her off. Mom kept adding more time to her calender for me to wear dresses, and yeah I was doing things to cause her to keep adding time to the calender, especially when I was 11, 12 and 13 yrs old, during my 12th and 13th years of age I spent the whole summer vacations in dresses, I absolutely loved it. When I was 13, I told my mother that I wanted to wear dresses to school before the start of the school year, well that is when my days of wearing dresses came to a crashing end, I was devastated, I was very upset and had severe anger issues for that school year, I was told to leave school by the princibal at the beginning of christmas vacation and to never come back.

[Crysten]

Nope - I was never dressed by my parents or anyone else that I can recall. I started this all on my own, and at a very early age - maybe three. I came down the stairs at my grandparents home dressed in bra, panties, blouse, skirt, and heels - and had makeup smeared all over my face. There was a photo taken, but it's been lost for years.

Also, while I was "caught" many times with various clothing items, not much was ever said, my mother would invariably get upset, though, and never encouraged me in any way. At one point she realized I wasn't going to "grow out of it" and took me to see a psychologist - useless, he didn't really help anything, just sent my mom the bill. One time visit.

How I wish all that had gone differently. The children of today, with loving parents, csn even begin transition before puberty, which is awesome :)

[FemmeElastique]

When I was 9, I went to spend the summer in Atlanta with family. They put us (me, and all the kids) in summer camp. ugh! Anyway, one week, I went on a week long trip to a camp with cabins and woods and all that stuff. Only me and my 12 year old girl cousin went (had other younger cousins in camp too but they were too young and stayed home). I had to use my cousin's plastic, pink suitcase as my own. LOL I didn't care. I don't remember if any of the boys that slept in the cabin with me gave me hell about it. But they sure did pick on me by calling me a sissy! For some reason, it didn't bother me. Guess they could tell I was gay back then.

[emilygielen]

My parents always wanted a girl (which did not happen) but unfortunately they didn't made me dress like a girl daily or punish me like that!! (just what I wanted)

The first experience I had with crossdressing is when I was 6 or 7, my mom used to make some dresses for my cousin who is my age and was at that time the same size than me. So I was just modelling for her. I would have loved that my mom made me dresses like she did for my cousin! (all I had was trousers and shorts)

[Rebeccarabbit]

Hi Jenifer,

I was dressed as a girl by an Aunt when I had to stay with my cousins over a summer holiday, after she found out that I wore panties and dressed in my female cousins clothes.....think it was more humiliation than anything else though.......and it culminated in abuse :(

When I was 12-14 one of my closest friends mum, encouraged me to dress as a girl.....this was slightly easier as I had a crush on her son at the time :O

[tammygirl79]

Nope, my parents never had me wear any girly cloths, I only remember playing dress-up myself and loving it!

[PinkHighHeels<3]

I don't recall my mother dressing me in clothes but I do remember my mother putting red lipstick on me as she was getting ready to go out.

[Cait]

Like many others in this thread, my mum would occasionally get me to be her model when she was making girls fancy dress costumes. I had absolutely no problem with it, I daresay I quite enjoyed it, and must have only been around 4 to 6.

[Joankristy]

It wasn't my parents. It was an uncle who dressed me and my 2 brothers up as little girls. Just so he could steal his fathers car. The bad news was he crashed the car and had to walk home with us.
:o:brolleyes:

[yumi2000us]

I don't really remember much but my sister used to dress me up when I was very young with her friends. I vaguely recall going back into her room and trying on her things again - like a silky short slip and I also vaguely recall getting caught once. My memory is pretty bad.

[Karen__Starr]

I beat her to it :o

[annie2]

my mom always had me wear my sisters panties.....she always said she had no time to do landry

[Cithmore]

I had 4 older sisters and a female cousin also lived with us. My father passed when I was 5 so I was the only male in a house full of women so there were panties everywhere. One of my sisters and my cousin dressed me in their bra and panties one day when I was 7 and after that I would wear their panties and night gowns all the time. Often if I was out of clean clothes my mom would just have me wear whatever clothes of my sister's that fit me. I remember my sisters and I would try on my mom's garters and stockings and even her makeup and jewelry.
Once two of my sisters took me shopping for a dress and first bra for my youngest sister because we were about the same size. I remember getting mad because they would not let me out of the fitting room and kept bringing stuff in for me to model.

[wishing2bali]

My mom never made me wear any of her things, but she did let me wear her panties and bras whenever I wanted to and my dad wasn't around, as he would have killed us both

[mykhelee]

My stepmother did have me wear girls tights and occasionally pantyhose on days not quite so cold...the real kicker was a sitter who when my sister was not with me would dress me in her little sisters clothes for the duration of the visit if I misbehaved, and I always did!
An Aunt caught me going through her dresser and had me wear a set of her underwear to teach me a lesson about snooping...I wish I had been searching through her shoes!!!
Peace

[Kyle85]

Thankfully my mum and sister both dressed me as a girl when I was a child! It started when I was 3/4. My sister is five years older than me, we used to share a bed when I was a child. In fact, we still shared a bed until she was 20 and I was 15, as we had a small house. The strange thing is my mum always dressed me in her clothes rather than my sisters, which didn't fit at all as my mum is very overweight! I absolutely loved it though, having a pair of her huge comfortable tights on virtually all the time. Even though I could dress myself, my mum dressed me until I was about 12. She didn't do anything inappropriate, but I think she enjoyed putting my knickers on, then pulling on my tights. She always pulled them up as far as they would go. She then started to buy me bodystockings which I would wear around the house. It was great, they even covered my hands. The only part of my body that wasn't covered with nylon was my head. My mum used to wear these too.

It was a great life. Very unusual, but even more surprising is that in every other way I am 'normal'! I am completely straight, while at school I was one of the cool kids I suppose, I was good at sport and attained good academic grades. Mum and my sister didn't mind me going out with my friends regularly just as long as I always came home and put on a bodystocking or some tights (usually navy blue or black and always a very thin denier). I even had quite a few girlfriends at school, who obviously didn't know about this!

I'm 25 now and still see my mum and sister virtually every day, as I went to university in my home town and have stayed here to work. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, so I sleep at their house a lot. Mum still doesn't like me wearing men's clothes in the house! I usually share a bed with mum at her house. There is nothing inappropriate going on, but we do enjoy a nice cuddle at night whilst wrapped up in out warm, confortable nylon. After all, mum gave me a great childhood! She weighs about 330 pounds now, so it's hard for to find someone. She has a bad back, so I give her a massage quite often. I think they only time it went too far is when I really hurt my groin playing soccer last month. I came home in agony, put some ice on it, then went to bed (in tights of course!). Mum gave me a massage down there, it felt so good, but I asked her to stop as it wad a but weird! That's another story anyway! My sister still loves playing dress up with me. She is a lesbian (albeit a very feminine one). It probably isn't normal family behaviour, but it's great

[Allyson Michelle]

Not my mom, but my sister used to dress me (and my brothers) up frequently.

[Kathi Lake]

Yep. My mom wanted to be an esthetician (of course, in those days, they were called "hairdressers") after her divorce and used me as a practice dummy for makeup, hairdos and the like while she was going through school. I was about 10-12 at the time. She did dress me up for Halloween when I was 14 and from all the comments I heard, did a pretty good job.

Of course, long before (and after) this, I had the urge to do a little "dressup" of my own. I had a skirt that was given to me by a neighbor girl that I used to keep under my bed. My stepfather found it and - being the ex-Marine he was - was going to "drive the girl out of me" by making me wear it to school. my mom talked him out of it, but things were never the same between us again.

Kathi

[Proteus]

I know it was joked about, but never put into practice.

I had a costume party for my birthday one year, and one kid came cross-dressed. Even though I didn't start until a few years after my teens, I thought it was brilliant, and so did my parents. His mother later apologised in case my parents had felt ill at ease because of it, but that worry was quickly put to rest.

[lemoignes]

It was in the sixties. I was on holidays with my mother and my two female cousins. My mother had forgotten my pajamas and she made me wear nightgoxns belonging to my cousins.

[RachelDenise]

No, I was never encoraged or helped. I remember one Halloween that I dressed as a girl but it was only my step-sister's dress and a cheap Halloween store bought wig. Not very nice and sort of missing the point. I was about 11 or 12 and at that time had inklings of crossdressing. I knew that I missed a great opportunity to dress all the way. Used to wear my Momn's bras and panties but was never caught wearing them although she did find my hidden stash.

[chrissietoo]

My mom wouldn't buy me pj's, but instead gave me sleep tees (http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3801941&utm_medium=feeds&utm_source=Shopzilla) to wear, all the way through high school. As I remember, this began shortly after I'd asked to be a girl for Halloween, in about the third grade. I would usually visit her in her bedroom before I went to sleep (when I was old enough to stay up late), and she frequently told me how nice it looked. I often went to bed feeling girly--it seemed rather natural.

[Kathryn Martin]

Hello

I should introduce myself. I am Martina C and have been a closet dresser all my life. It started with wearing very girlie hand me downs from my older sister when I was 5 years old. By the time I was 12 I was fascinated with my mothers full torso corsets (she called them her Daimler) and loved the curves and forms. Whenever she was out the house I would sneak in and try them on and fantasize about having boobs.

I have always been very much in touch with my feminine side worn makeup at times and recently with the encouragement of my wife have started to be dressed at all times at home.

Thank you

Martina

[donnatracey]

Yes, it was all my mom's fault - shame on her for not having locks on her closet doors as well as always wearing red lipstick!......:eek:

PS Welcome Martina to this site. You are so lucky to have a wife that understands and is willing to help you achieve that feminine look!

[Jennifer N J]

I was forced to wear m older sisters winter coats to school, and my bookbag was one of my grandmothers big purses. We didnt have alot of money back then. I was bullied alot. Made fun of for comming to school with a barbie doll case. This was my 4th - 5th grades.

[Rebecca W.]

Living with two sisters "forced me" to dress in my older sisters clothes.:) I admired and watched how feminine my sisters looked when dressed to go out. I always wondered what it would feel like to be dressed like that and then I tried on her clothes and it felt so natural. So here I am today, a CD and that will never change.:battingeyelashes:

The only distinct memory I have was one winter morning when I was 7 years old. Since I never listen to my mom when she told me to put chapstick on, she decided to fix this by trying to put some of her red lipstick on me. I remember pushing my mom's face away and slapping the lipstick out of her hand and she slapped me in the face for being disobedient. That was the end of that lol.

I didn't get into dressing up until I was about 9 and discovered it on my own so my parents really had no bearing on me in that regard.

My mother & sisters dressed me up as a girl for Halloween once. I must have been eight or so. Got plenty of looks and whistles. Don't know if I would say I felt "sexy" or anything, but I do remember liking the attention.

Damn, I wish I could still fit into that dress... :daydreaming:

Also wore some hand-me-down stuff from my sisters, mostly pants. And my first bike was my sister's "girl's" bike.
