My birth of my life as Mika starts when I was 7 years old. I was living in Munich, Germany where I was born and raised. Later, in 1992 however, my father decided to move our family to America for a better life!

As a little boy at age 7, I got interested in girl's clothing and wanted to try some on. First time was seeing a laundry basket full of clean clothes and some were my cousin Andrea's clothing and I really wanted to try some of her clothing on that day. Mom was around so I didn't get the chance to try on anything feminine in that basket during my first desire of wanting to try a dress on.

My dad, he saw something in me that was different about me. I was the little boy that was not into things a normal boy was into. Other family members started to see it as well with me. An aunt of mine saw I had my eyes on the dresses a lot. I had my heart to try one on after that.

Mom – she was initially thinking I was going to be one of the boys and finally saw it wasn't going to happen as well. Finally, in March of 1986, my parents and I were visiting an aunt of mine. She had left out a dress out by mistake already clean. Dad saw I had interest in it and wanted to try it on badly. Mom said no at first, she felt it wasn't right for me to wear it. My dad said, “Let him try it on” to my mom. Mom finally said OK knowing my dad was probably right about this. Dad said, “Go into the bathroom and put it on”.  I loved wearing it after seeing it on me looking in the mirror. A huge relief of joy came out of me after that and I walked out of the bathroom. Dad saw I was happy and then mom realized it wasn't a mistake after all and I found my true self finally. This began the birth of Mika after this happened. I also felt more comfortable in my skin. I got to keep that dress as well.

Following that situation with my mom and dad being present and with me that day, I started wearing dresses at home and it was great as I got older. Then, in 1992, my dad decided to make a good life changing decision. He always wanted to immigrate to the United States for a better life. My mom, my younger sister and I went along as well becoming legal United States citizens in 1995. The clothing went too while still in private. I met good new friends in my life becoming open and out to them about me as Mika.  It was 3 weeks after meeting them I came out as a crossdresser going by Mika and was accepted right away by my circle of new friends. They are still friends in my life to this day! Then 10 years ago, I had a choice to make in my life and it was not an easy one at all. It was either be as Mika part time or fulltime. I knew I was much happier as Micha.

I finally had a talk with my parents and sister talking to them me being Mika part time for fulltime before I made my decision. They said they wanted me to live my dream and they would support me all of the way. Finally, I decided to go fulltime as Mika in 2010 with no regrets and finally being totally happy.

I sacrificed my first marriage which ended up in divorce. My first ex-wife was uncomfortable about me being Mika fulltime. My second marriage lasted just 2 months, she couldn't take it either. My 3rd marriage was the charm meeting my current wife Lisa who has been supportive ever since we got married. She loves me as Mika fulltime. She has a huge heart of gold and is an LGBT supporter. We met at an LGBT support group and saw I deserved better. She has a huge compassion for LGBT people and her mom is a lesbian who also supports the LGBT community. Lisa sees her mom and I are both happy as we’ve become who and what we are. Her mom also supports me and I support her back knowing we are in basically in the same boat.

As far as considering going back to my old life as male, the answer is no way! I knew I was more comfortable as Mika fulltime. My life as male was getting boring over time. Now, I live my life as I saw it and felt it as Mika. I always felt, from a young boy, I was more comfortable being a fulltime girl!

  • Would you feel more comfortable being a girl fulltime?
  • Have you always felt much happier while wearing women’s clothing?
  • Do your desire to become a woman fulltime ever cost you a marriage?

Thank you CDH girls so very much for understanding me and reading my article! Please feel free to take a few minutes to respond to my writings in my article or answering one or more of the questions I’ve posed to you above!

Sincerely, Mika

HI Mika, and thank you for your interesting story. IF I had had access to girl' clothes, and any female contacts when growing up, my story might have been similar to yours...I sometimes wonder about that.
I am definitely more comfortable dressed in girls' clothing. and yes, I could be happy being a girl full time, at least socially. I'm happy to report that I have kept the one great love of my life for over 56 years, and she is supportive; but my dressing was suppressed for almost all of my adult life, so the topic never entered our lives until about 3 years ago. Otherwise, my answer could have been much different.

Hugs,
Bettylou

thanks for an amazing story. glad your parents were ok and supportive from the beginning in accepting you for who you are. I know for some of us, if we had been free of societal programming and pressure, I may of gone down different a path too. In the 80's and 90's we lacked easy access to info and alt life experiences that are so much easier to connect to now.

Mika, how old were your children when they found out? Or did you just dress all the time when they were babies? I'm curious as to how children react at different ages

What a lovely story Mika, and how wonderful to have such a supportive family. My story is a little different in that for many years I have always considered myself to be your typical male guy, doing the usual male things and dressing in the normal masculine way. I have also been happily married for 37 years and that situation is set to continue I hope for many more. However, I recall that at the age of 19 or so I did have a desire to try on my mom's white bra which was hanging up in the kitchen to dry after being washed. What made me want to do that? I think somehow there was a feminine me trying to free and express itself gently but wasn't sure how to do so. Over the years I have explored more and more a growing femininity but always discretely so as not to upset my lovely wife. But in the last two years or so I have felt an ever stronger desire to wear women's clothing and when I am able to do so it feels so very fulfilling and satisfying and natural, such that I truly wish I could do so all the time, at least at home if not in public. Looking ahead I can see that side of me developing still further.

Hi Mika, thanks for sharing your story. I used to be married, but my ex-wife was not supportive of my need to crossdress, so we got a divorce. I’m glad you found someone who supports you for who you are. I want to find that someday.

Hi Mika, thank you for sharing your brave and moving story. You seem to have an understanding family which has enabled you to be who you are.

Yes I would feel comfortable being a woman full time as my inner woman has been calling me for several years and it's best (though not always easy) to be honest with oneself.

Take Care

Hi Mika, what a wonderful story. I've crossdressing as long as I can remember. I was married for 17 years. At first I tried to stay away from dressing but i couldn't. Eventually my wife found skirts and blouses an all hell broke loose. I promised to "never again do it", you all can guess how that went. Eventually we got divorced. To make matters worse my son of 20 saw a photo of me in a ball gown, guess how that ended. We actually still see each other on a regular basis if I never do it again. So now I live alone and dress as a woman as soon as I come home from work. My bottom line is that my greatest wish is that I can meet a woman that accepts me for what I am, otherwise any relationship will end with a disaster. Take good care of your woman, she's worth weight in gold. (I actually suspects that my sister knows, but I don't know for sure).
