So I guess that I enjoy feminine things because of some of my experiences when I was younger. Aside from having a very girly older sister that my parents often held up as a role model, just by shear chance as to who lived around me in the neighborhood, most of my very young playmates were mostly girls. I didn't know why at the time, but I just got along with all of them so well. I had young boys that were my pals too, but I think I enjoyed my little girl friends more.
This was when life was all so innocent and sex had not entered into it yet. Many of these girls were considered "tomboys" at the time also. Sad how boys couldn't be partially interested in girl things as well. There was one little girl that became my best friend up until about the age of 12, when my folks moved away. She would visit from out of town every Summer and Christmas because her Grandparents lived next door. I sooo looked forward to her visits. Her grandparents took us to our first baseball game together when we were about 8 years old, which I remember vividly.
Back in the early 60s, if you did anything remotely female, like having a girl as your best friend you were considered a Sissy, so we used to lie and tell everyone we were cousins. I so cherish having had a girl as my best friend growing up before male and female got all tied up with all of the romantic and sexual complications.
I'm sure these experience helped foster my desires to cross-dress, yet some how it was latently there anyway. As you can imagine, I wonder where this little girl is now!
