Rewind

[DebbiAnne]

Has anyone wished they could rewind back in time to a situation where the conversation was about you being a girl or or girls clothes? When I was about 13 I was watching cheer leaders practice with 3 younger girls & the one girl asked me if I ever wished I was a girl, I said no, she replied don't you ever think girls clothes are nicer because of softer materials and they get to wear dresses & stuff, i was scared and said no again, then she said I would make a cute girl! I wish I could go rewind to that conversation knowing what I know now.

Warm up the Wayback Machine, Sherman!

But what would you say?

Better yet - what did you think in terms of your true answers?

[Kate Simmons]

No regrets here Debbi Anne. Even though I always considered myself a tomboy, I still liked looking nice. I know I made a cute girl.;):)

When I was about 21, I was having an indepth conversation with my friend's 19 yr old sister in her front room, whilst my friend was getting ready. She found it very easy to talk to me (women always have), and was telling me all her boyfriend troubles. Then she said to me that I was very understanding and I should've been a girl. Then she said, 'do you wish you had been born a girl?, I think you would have made a good one'. I was like a deer caught in headlights. My mind was screaming 'YES YES YES', but I just turned scarlet and muttered something unintelligible. Always wondered if she guessed. She was always more friendly to me afterwards. If I could rewind now, I would say to her 'Yes, I would very much love to be a girl, and I have always felt this way. How did you know?'

Well, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If one could rewind time, most would have come out earlier.

Missed chances, I know what you mean.

My parents were on vaction in England and my sister was watching over me. Well, my sister and one of her friends wanted to go out and find boys, but had to take me along. I was I think around 8 then. We were going down a main street in our town and the guys would look but did not seem interested and my sister and her friend figured it was because I was with them. My sisters friend said that they should dress me up as a girl, I do not remember what I said but I figure I must have said no, but inside I really wanted too, and she turned and looked at me and said, you really have beautiful long eyelashes just like a girl. I wish they would have talked me into dressing and going out with them now. I wore my sisters clothes when I dressed anyway.

A Missed chance.

There have been a couple of times where I ended up being the only male in a group of coworkers, at some point one would say they felt sorry for me that I got stuck with the girls for the day. It's those times where I felt totally at peace and I wished I could have joined in their discussions more. If it happened tomorrow, I'm not sure at this point that I could speak up.

When I was a lot younger and didnt even know what crossdressing was,I was always told that I look like a girl.When your a young guy with yours friends around I guess it was a unwanted comment.I should have just said thank you :)

When I was young I had long wavey hair and could have passed as a girl. My relatives said I made a better looking girl than my older sister. Unfortunely I had the misfortune to fall into an open fire place at an early age and singed my hair real bad. My mother had to cut it short and it never grew back as pretty. If I could go back I think I would have come out a lot sonner.

Kind of a two part answer here ... I wish I could rewind back to that moment that I bought my first training bra .. back when I was 13. I'd love to relive those few hours.

I also would love to grab a bunch of money (hmmm--- where do I find a bunch of cash with the issue date before 1970!) and go back with a knowing then what I know now attitude. I'd have bought all kinds of things to treat my girl-self -- and things to bring back to add to my vintage training bra collection!

If I could back knowing what I know about myself now it would have been easier on me. I really didn't understand what those feeling were and felt so weird.

When I was about 25 I was just out of a long term relationship and started going out with a girl who was a bit wild, actually more a "free spirit" type of person. It was just a bit too soon for me to be dating again though. At the time, my hair was long (past my shoulders) and my facial features were very androgynous . I kept long sideburns just to counter the androgyny.

Anyhow, we were on my couch into some heavy petting when she looks straight at me said that I'd make a hot girl and she would love to put makeup on me. I was both rattled and turned on. A few days before, she told me that she was attracted to both men and women and had been with women before. This girl was also quite a snoop. One time I had left her alone in my house, she found my stash of adult entertainment but apparently (I'll never know for certian), not the pictures of me completely dressed as a showgirl (another story altogether) So, back to the couch. I'm looking back at her, there is a flood of thoughts running through my mind and I'm realizing that it's taking too long for me to respond. So. I just started kissing her. I said nothing and she didn't push it any further. We stopped seeing each other pretty quickly after. Much later, she told me that she realized I was not ready to "trust" and be honestly intimate. At the time I was damaged goods from a bad break up.

So, if I could rewind.. I'd have explored my fem side with that beautiful girl rather than purge and hide for many years to follow.

That was a long time ago anyway.

.......When I was about 13 I was watching cheer leaders practice.......

Was that you on "America's Funnest Vidieo's"? - just kidding.

Oh, there were so many missed opportunities I had because of fear. I know I can't rewind, so I try to learn from the past and make the best of the opportunities I have now.
