This never crossed my mind when I first dressed as I was about four when I first put on my mum's tights. However, as a teenager I dabbled more and more and I did question whether this would make me gay, even though I had no such feelings and liked girls. (It's confusing being a kid!)
Fortunately, my dad, being very enlightened, had bought my older brother a book that gave factual information to boys about adolescence and what their bodies were going through. Later, this was passed down to me. There was a section about transvestites and it pointed out that most were heterosexual. This book really helped me as this was in the early 1980s - there was no internet. Not only did I realise that I wouldn't turn gay, but I also realised that it wasn't just me who liked to wear women's clothes.
The book was called 'Boys and Sex'. You can still buy it on Amazon.
