Hi all
I wanted to thank all of you for your sweet words. At least it helped me realise, quoting Major Frank Burns of MASH fame, 'Individuality is a good thing as long as we all do it together.' :)
Seeing what everyone has written has given me pause to consider how very very lucky am. I couldn't ask for more in love life that I have with my wonderful supportive wife -- my soulmate -- who has made all my dreams and fantasies come true.
Years ago I wrote a series of CD fiction stories, The Amy Series as I called it, about a crossdressing girl who meets a crossdressing boy and falls in love with him. It was what I wanted my life to be. When I let my wife, when she was my fiancee, read them she went out and got her hair cut short, telling me, 'I wanted to be the girl in your stories for you!'. Well, I was floored that someone would love me enough to make even my fantasies come true. And then the first time I saw her in a jockstrap and laid down next her in my bra and panties -- well, sigh, it was heaven.
Anyway -- there is more to it as I initimated in my last paragraph and elsewhere here. In some ways, I feel that the only way I can be a boy is to be a girl. I never was into sports , and was the last one called for teams in gym class and was never encouraged .. but if had been a girl, I have this feeling that I'd have been on teams and been encouraged to play soccer and all that. It as if, if I was a girl, I could experience all those girl things - first bra, sweet 16, etc -- but I could have also have been a boy and ran and played, etc. Odd really how the human mind tries to make all things right for the person.
Anyway -- thanks again to all!
