I was born skinny, grew up in a brutal neighborhood, and endured a lot of bullying as a youth. Such an environment makes some young men tough and aggressive. It did not with me. Even today, I am not "tough," confrontational or aggressive. And I hate the pressure I have always felt from other men (and GGs) to have such characteristics.
So I have always wondered if my crossdressing, which started in my early teens, was some sort of reaction, or escape from the pressures of being male.
Has anyone else endured serious bullying as a child, and do you think it connects with your dressing at all?
