Women are so perceptive ! It seems like I can still remember every episode of when I unconsciously gave of strong hints of my interest in girls dresses and underwear and how women responded to it. I will mention 1 of them here. and post other ones later.
The first was when I was about 8 and had to go along with my mom and sister when they were shopping for a party dress for my sister. While my mother was off to the fitting room with my sister i happened to get transfixed on this yellow party dress and started touching the puffy sleeves and then the hem. i had not noticed the old lady SA was watching me. Well the SA came over immediately and with a big smile said " oh here is one in your size lets go try it on, I bet you will look adorable in it"
I was totally embarrassed and beat red and tried to act uninterested but she insisted she saw how interested i was in the pretty dress and held it up against me. My mother soon came out and joined in the fun teasing I was receiving. They both finally agreed that if i was a good GIRL maybe I would get the dress as a Christmas present. I would swear my mother and sister teased me for a week about the yellow dress and my mother brought up buying it every time I acted up.
And people wonder why we are so scared to come out of the closet.
I do wonder if my mother ever put this together with other episodes as I got older to know what i was really up to
