I guess most of us didn't really know this straight out of the womb.
Of course I dressed a bit most of my life, but it was a guilty pleasure I didn't like to think about unless it was at attention.
Before I had this thought - "What would it be like to dress totally as a woman?" [about the time I was 22 or 23] I thought -
CD'ing was like some ultimate expression of being gay. [I was way wrong most of us are straight]
Some CD's were HAWT [even tho I could not admit this even to myself. This reality messed with my mind badly back then]
CD's could not be normal looking men if they looked that feminine even with makeup. [Yet we are as normal looking as any man.]
That since at the time all I wore was lingerie and hose, I was NOT CD.
Back then, I was a man's man. To even hear about a CD or TS was a threat to my masculinity. Now *I* am a threat to such for others
I guess I had a lot of mixed feelings. On one hand I thought it was wack, but on the other hand, I thought [God help me] that Ru Paul or Boy Geroge was pretty. [Quit laughing!]
It is like we fear the very things we are...
So what opinions or misconceptions did you have?
