Caught "Red-Handed"

[Danielle Gee]

Hi All:

My question is how many of you were caught Cross-dressing as a child? Also, what were the consequences and how did it change your life?

My story is probably a pretty common one and I’ve related it on the site several times(so I won’t bore you with too many details……….

At the age of 5 or 6 (maybe 7) my next-oldest Sister caught me trying on her long-line Bra she wore with her “formal dress”. She took control of my life that very minute and I was her glorified slave for the remainder of her time at home (5-7 years).

The worst part however was that when she caught me, she dressed me up in one of her old party dresses. I remember it was a mint green w/ white petticoats. I was also ordered to don lacy anklet socks and black Mary Jane’s. She styled my longish hair into a feminine style, then declared “You’re new name is Melissa”

Then to my complete embarrassment she marched me downstairs and paraded me inn front of my parents!!! The biggest shock was ….THEY BOTH SEEMED TO LIKE THE IDEA!!!

Well to wind down my tale, I spent the rest of my childhood off and on dressed as Melissa. The rest of my family seemed to accept the situation as “normal” and I believe this started me down the road I’m on.

So I’ve told my story, lets hear yours !!

Around age 8 or so, I was caught playing with lipstick. My dad held me down and put it on me while verbally humiliating me. I've hardly touched the stuff since then. hahahahaha

[Danielle Gee]

Nicole: my Dad verbally humiliated me when I was a boy,He treated me like a "Princess" when I was a Girl....Go figure huh?

[joannemarie barker]

never got caught by my parents but I was caught in a dress and pantyhose by my brother.he told me I looked ridiculous and something like you must be a poof but never said anything ever again.more recently my housemate caught me In my bra and panties but that's another story

When I was about 11-12ish I got caught. I thought I was safe in an outbuilding my dad stored hay in. I had gotten a pair of mom's hose,some grey plastic pumps and a cute greyish, silver dress(hey, even at that age I matched colors well! lol) and had just finished slipping the shoes on when I heard my sister trying the door knob! There was a lock on that door but the door at the other end was unlocked. When I heard her calling me from the other end I panicked and started undressing as fast as I could! When she saw me I was sitting there in my underwear with my shirt back on. She asked what I was doing and I said "nothing". She didn't buy that for a minute and quickly found the dress and hose that I had stuffed in the nearest crevice. She laughed and said she was gonna tell mom as she left me there. I got my pants back on and grabbed the shoes and ran the other way. When I got to th creek I chucked the shoes as far as I could, the hose and dress I stashed in the outbuilding to be put away later. I stayed away from home as long as I could,not knowing what would happen when I got back. Finally, I went home and went straight to my room,not talking to anybody the rest of the night. I don't know if my sister told my mom or not,because she never asked me about it. My sister did tease me for about a year after that before, I guess, she was preoccupied with other things a teenage girl does. Wow, hadn't thought about that for a long time! Peace and love to all, Tonya

As far as I'm aware I managed to avoid outright detection when I was younger, however a few knowing remarks (never spiteful or malicious) tell me I didn't display all the cunning and ingenuity of Raffles the Gentleman Thief I thought I possessed.

more recently my housemate caught me In my bra and panties but that's another story

Am I right in thinking this story had a happier conclusion?

[sissystephanie]

I can only remember one time in my life when I was "caught!" My parents both had died when I was fairly young and an Aunt and Uncle were raising my sister and I. The Aunt found a pair of my sisters panties which I had hidden in my bedroom. I got a good talking to and of course ordered to never do it again, but that was all. And of course I did not pay much attention to the orders!! Just was more careful about hiding stuff!!

[Sheren Kelly]

I got caught twice,
When I was 6 or 7, my sister caught me stealing her cosmetics and my mother searched my bedroom and found the old dress of hers that I stashed. The incident was addressed by Dad during the family after dinner discussion the next day with some stern warnings.

The next incident (about 6 months later) occurred as my sister was coming up the stairs to her room while I was in her closet. I paniced and made a quick dash across the hall to my room, still in the dress, but she saw me and notified my mother who marched up and confiscated the clothes. That evening my Dad took me aside and informed me that if I was caught again, he would send me off for mental treatment. I believed him and I got better at hiding, but I never really stopped. I also never had a close relationship with either of my parents since then.

I was never caught red-handed, but I was caught black-eyed one time. My mom saw the remnants of her mascara on my eyes. She asked me what it was, and I muttered something about it being dirt and went into the bathroom to quickly clean it off. Although I seriously doubt that she believed my answer, she never said anything to me about it. That's how my family was. When the porn pictures I had stashed under my mattress went missing, I waited several days for her to tell me that she had found them, and get on to me about it, but she never did.

First time was age 12, when my mother caught me trying on one of her dresses. We had a little chat, and I brushed it off as "something I saw on TV".

The real blow-up was at 16, when my parents found my complete stash -- dresses, stockings, heels -- while cleaning out the basement. Nothing was said at first and I almost thought I was in the clear until one day my mother caught sight of a bra strap underneath my shirt after I got home from school. Some very nasty things were said, and she threatened to disown me if she ever caught me crossdressing again. About 6 months later, right before high school graduation, she apologized profusely for her intolerance and tried to explain that she was just trying to protect her other children (my brothers and sister).

I'd like to hope that my parents will be more accepting when I come out as a M2F transsexual, but the words they used almost 14 years ago are forever burned in my mind of their hatred of something they may never understand.

I was 10- 11 when my Dad caught me in a bra, slip and nylons, It wasn't a pleasant experience but I survived! LOL and continued to dress although more carefully

[Sharon B.]

The first time(about 4 or 5) my older sister dressed me as a little girl, from then on I would steal or borrow her stockings when was about 6 or 7 I would always get caught by the next morning and was told that stockings were for girls and boys wore socks. That ended it for about 5 or 6 years by the time I was in my teens I would be left alone for about five hours every Thursday when my mother would take the bus downtown, I would be alone in the house and it was then that I would go into my sister's bedroom and dress as a young girl, this went on into my late teens when I couldn't stand it any longer I told one of my older sisters that I enjoy wearing her clothes. She told me to stop or she would tell our parents, said I would but never did, just started going out and buying my own clothes. I would still dress whenever I was home by myself. Still enjoy it to this day and know she would never understand and all of my friends would have nothing to do with me if I came out of the closet.

Hi Danielle,

When I was 8, Mom caught me wearing her hose. This did not go well so I'll spare you the gore. A couple of years later, Mom found a stash of clothes in my closet and instead of throwing a fit which failed last time, she sent me to therapy. She didn't care for his treatment, so that ended. When I was 14, she discovered a few pairs of hose in my dresser. This time I had to go to a Psychologist and after about 8 sessions, he discovered I like to wear women's clothes, but I wasn't Gay. (Keep in mind this was the late 70's and we didn't have the internet, or Gender psychologist as today.) Both of these things I already knew.

Hugs,

Colleen

I have been caught several times, including the veery first time. I was 6-7 and put on a pair of panties of a family friend. I have been caught by my Mom in her clothes several times, a friend ofd mine and by my wife on several occasions. In fact, this thread has shown me how often I have been caught......

[LACD]

I was caught wearing my Mom's nursing shoes when I was about 9 years old. She made me put on the whole nurses uniform and then said go sit in the carport. She locked the door so I couldn't come inside. I ended up walking around the back yard and really enjoyed it. I think she knew how much I like it, I had bra everything on. She always left some older clothes of hers out when she went out of town later on in life. I guess she knew but didn't really try to stop me.

[BillieJoEllen]

Was caught when I was 15 by my mother. I hurried home from school one day and quickly fell asleep after putting on a complete change of my sister's clothes. All H*** broke loose. Couldn't really understand everyone's reaction because my father always teased me about being a sissy, My mother had me wear dresses she was sewing for a cousin of mine (she always had me wear everything that went underneath) also, When I was much younger I'd have to wear my sister's panties because my boy underwear was dirty, Was baptized at 3 and a half in a very pretty, lace and satiny white dress (I don't remember that but I have seen the pictures), was allowed to wear a dress at Halloween one year and many other situations that I didn't really want to participate in. Sooooo....they were upset with me????

[SamanthaS]

When I was 11 my mom found me asleep in her panthose and strappy heels. My younger brother and I shared a room, and around bed time I would put on mom's pantyhose and heels. I would lay under the covers and enjoy the feeling of being fem. Sometimes I would walk to the bathroom with a blanket over me, just so I could feel the pantyhose on my legs. After awhile I made a bodystocking out of the hose, and because my mom was a large woman it felt like a glove on my teenage body. On the night I was caught, I woke up to the light being on in our room and quickly realized I was still dressed! I tried to take the hose and heels off and I guess she heard me staring around and came in the room and started beating me! Saying "If I ever catch you again, I'll kill you!" This was the black communitiy in the early 80's. She went through our closet and found my stash of her clothes. I didn't dress again until I moved in with my grandmother.

Hi
i was one off the lucky ones as i did not get caught by my mum and dad, but was caught by my 1st wife.

[Jill Devine]

As a child, I would take my mothers pantyhose and leave them in my bed. Then at bedtime I could put them on under the covers and sleep in them. I was about 8 yrs old when I got caught by my mother. One night she pulled the sheets back as I was getting into bed. I hadn't stuffed the hose down far enough in the bed and she saw them. Busted. LOL. She gave me an odd look and said "shame on you. Why are you doing this?" my dumb excuse was that it wasn't me who planted it there. Yeah right.
Mom never mentioned it again.

[KandisTX]

Mine is more of a I outed myself than a "caught red-handed" post, but some of you may relate to this.

After the early years of my sneaking around, I got tired of sneaking and hiding and I wanted lingerie and feminine clothing of my own. I figured the best thing to do was to tell her, or rather allow myself to get caught with my pants down showing her panties and pantyhose.

I prepared myself as she and I were the only ones home, I went to the laundry room and took some of my sisters panties and a bra off of her stack of clean & folded laundry and snuck into her room and took a pair of pantyhose and put them all on underneath my sweat pants and sweat shirt. I went out to talk to her in the back yard and asked her some generic questions to get a feel for her mood and then we went inside. As we were walking into the house and heading upstairs, I was taking off my sweat suit and asked her if she ever wondered why I had her clothing in my dresser. She said “no”, I said “Well, this is why” and I tossed my sweats over her shoulder and stood there wearing nothing but a bra, panties and pantyhose. She of course over reacted and decided that I was sick and needed therapy and that was the end of that. Six months later I left there and moved back with my real father and mother and went back into hiding until I again decided that I wanted to have some stuff of my own. This time I would do it right, mom (my real mom) was much more understanding and open about things so this time it would be different. Once again I set myself to be caught. I knew that mom would be the first one to come home and so I went into her room and dressed myself in her bra, panties, and pantyhose underneath my bathrobe. I have very pale skin and my socks only came up to the mid calf range and my robe stopped about two inches above the knee. This means there was an area of about 5 inches of my legs exposed and the suntan pantyhose were QUITE noticeable. I heard her keys in the front door and timed my exit from her room with the moment she was in the apartment and closed the door behind her. She saw me coming out of her room and asked “What are you doing in my room”. “Nothing” I said, I can see her eyes move to my legs and she asks me with a knowing smile “What are you wearing? You have a box of your sisters bras in your closet (I was storing them there for her honest, [besides, they didn’t fit me]), and now this”. I smiled and said “No, I don’t have a box of bras, only one”, and I opened my robe exposing myself wearing her underwear. She smiled and said “Well, you know you can’t just walk around in a bra and panties, let’s find you something to wear over them.” With that, we went back into her room and she proceeded to find me something to wear over the top of the lingerie, and she gave me permission to wear her things until we could go shopping and buy me some of my own as long as I washed all of her things before I returned them. Now, she gives me lingerie and femme clothing as gifts, and she calls me her daughter as well as her son.

I got caught playing dress-up with a neighbor girl at her house when I was 4 or 5. Her mom walked in to find me in one of her daughter's dresses, which she didn't like, to put it mildly. I was trying to hide in a corner, and she kicked me and slammed me against the wall a few times, then told me that she'd kill me if she ever caught me doing that again.

So I learned early on that I had to hide who I was.

My experiences were not hidden at all. My brothers and I would play family, where one of us was the Daddy, another was Mommy, and the third was the kid. We wore our parent's clothes and shoes and took turns playing the different parts.

I did not have any sisters.

And my Grandmother introduced one of my brothers and me to the pleasures of nail polish. My brother did not continue to use nail polish, but Grandma provided me with a bottle of nail polish. And she also got little girls panties for us.

So I was taught at an early age that you should not have to hide the fact you like to crossdress, and to this day I don't hide anything.

Now on the other hand - girlie magazines like Playboy were strictly forbidden.

My experience was my mum was out so I decided to get dressed. I had on grey top, over a bra, grey skirt, panties and grey tights. Well sitting back enjoying the feeling and the front door opened and in walked my mum. Scrabbling to get undressed with no luck, I still had on her tights when she walked in. She just looked up and down and said nothing. I was quite surprised at her reaction. Still it didn't stop me.

[Billie Jean]

Several times by my ex wife. My sister caught me a couple of times also. My wife didn't care as I came out to her a month or so after we got married. My sister went off on me and told me I was a queer, but then I was wearing her panties and hose when she caught me. Billie Jean

OMG! that is awful. And a criminal act on the part of the neighbour. How the hell can she kick and slam a small child? Only sick person was that crazy b!tch.
