What came first, the hoarding or the crossdressing?

I often read posts where members talk about their stash or boxes of clothes etc in the garage, cellar, attic etc or in storage units or second homes.

Yes some people talk about purging, but many mention rediscovering a favourite item which had been stored away for so long.

So, as crossdresser's are we hoarders by nature or has the crossdressing caused us to become hoarders?

My wife will confirm I am a hoarder and always have been. The bag of screws and wallplugs that come with an item that has the option to be wall mounted are put away with all the other such packs, as I believe that they may come in useful some day. My condition is improving but I am by no means cured - in the past year perhaps 4 pairs of shoes and a similar number of skirts have found their way to the bin or the local charity shop, if only to make space for more shoes and clothes.
