My experience is very similar to Veronica's. I have never had a gender identity crisis. I have always identified with males. I have had crossdressing feelings since I was very young and acted on them the first time when I was 12 or 13. I liked girls. I also liked the clothing they wore. It was a little confusing when I was younger, but I got through it without any emotional distress. I met my wife when we were 19. She met Sami a short time later. We have been together for 30 wonderful years.

When I don't have my heels and makeup on, you can find me watching football, woodworking, at the shooting range, under a car hood or drinking beer with my buds at the local watering hole. Pretty much all male stuff. Hanging out with women or shopping really drives me nuts. I came to the conclusion that I will never understand why I like to crossdress a long time ago. It sure is an enjoyable experience though!
