Born in 1947, I am middle child with 4 year older sister and a 4 year younger one. I grew up in the 1950s with all those feminine clothes that era is noted for.
When i was about 8 years old and and m older sister was approaching puberty, she started to dress as a feminine adult, with plenty of lingerie, pencil skirts, etc.
So.... one day the curiosity got the best of me when I wondered what all the feminine finery felt like to wear. So, I started to very discretely try on her things in private.
I was then hooked... realizing that I loved the feeling wearing them.
I also had a dominant mother as she was the educated one....my father quit school after third grade to work on the family farm.
They were a bit of an odd couple. My mom was from Brooklyn and had an early show business career as a dancer.....and even had stage name
My dad grew up om a farm and was mostly uneducated . They say opposites often attract.
Anyway, I now love to dress as feminine woman woman when in public as Barbara.![]()
