When I first started dressing at age 5 my initial thought was "I have no friends and it seems that the girls are more prone to have friends; mostly girls. Why not try to dress and be like them and I will have more friends than I could handle?" Which is funny because I kept my crossdressing a secret; as well as I could anyways. My initial thought now is not to dress to be a girl, but to express myself and to relieve stress because it feels good to put on a dress when I come home, look in the mirror and see beauty instead of the every day norm... So what were you thinking when you first started and how has it progressed over the years?
