Hi ladies . This may be a weird post but there are a few movie/TV scenes I saw when I was very young involving Crossdressing which stuck in my mind forever. Most of them were silly or stupid scenes but nonetheless they stuck with me and perhaps sparked my curiosity toward Crossdressing in the first place. (I’m not sure of the exact timeline between seeing these and actually dressing).
Anyway there was one specific movie scene I remember vaguely which stuck with me. To this day I cannot find the movie. It has bugged me for years lol
The snippet I remember goes something like this.. two men are in some sort of dressing room at a theater or playhouse or something. One of them is white and one of them is black. They are wearing some sort of formal dresses like showgirls would wear. As one of the men pulls a stocking over his leg, they look at each other and both smile and laugh.
I know this isn’t much but Does anyone know what movie this is?? It’s definitely pre-2008
@brianna1960 The opening scene of To Wong Foo shows Swayze putting on make-up and Snipes pulling on his stockings, but they can't see each other.
That doesn't mean that they aren't having fun, though. 🥳

WOW gals you are good! The fact that you could find out from the little information I gave. I just watched some clips on YouTube and that’s gotta be the movie. This has bugged me for years ! Now I’ve got to find a way to watch the whole movie
I was a very young boy when I saw my first crossdresser program on TV back in the 60's. It was an Alfred Hitchcock episode about a young boy living on a farm with his grandmother, but he was being raised as a girl, and not having any other reference believed he was a girl. That's is until a stranger came by the farm one day and when he noticed how 'the girl' pee'd in the bushes enlightened her the she was a boy. The rest of the plot was about the conflict between the grandmother and now enlightened boy, how the grandmother resented men because her daughter, the boys mom, was in an abusive relationship and how she was killed in a drunk driving accident with her husband, leaving grandma to raise the boy.
@brianna1960 Out of curiosity, I did a word search of Wikipedia's text descriptions for "grandmother" of all 10 seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and couldn't find that episode. (There are way too many episodes to go through them one by one.)
Maybe you could try.
@brianna1960 This is a story not a tv program
He Became a Farm Girl: A Transgender Novella
I cannot find it online either, I think it was in season 3 and there always seems to be a few episodes missing in that season and it was one of those episodes. I think the title was , a girl who knew too much', or troubles with mary'. I looked and looked for it too, I wonder if its in the boxed sets. The boy who played the girl was Bill Mumy from Lost in Space fame. He may have sued to have it removed because of it being so controversial at the time.
@brianna1960 "In 1961, Mumy was cast on CBS-TV's Alfred Hitchcock Presents series in "The Door Without a Key", featuring John Larch".
That episode is on YouTube, but it seems to be a different story. I only watched the first minute.
@harriette I think Bill mumy was is a few Alfred Hitchcock movies..It's interesting to see so many famous actors at the beginning of their careers on the program.
@brianna1960 He was in 3 AHP episodes. None of them fitted the description above.
I was sure it was an AHP program...it was a long time ago..over 50 years. I ran a search using an AI site called Iask. And asked ,"what was the title of the the Alfred Hitchcock episode where a boy was raised as a girl by his grandmother" and it came up with info that described the episode. Don't know what to say.
Courtesy of Chat GPT:
The movie you're describing sounds like "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" (1995). In this film, two drag queens (played by Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo) end up stranded in a small town after their car breaks down. The scene you’re referring to may be from the beginning of the movie, where the three of them are dressed up in elaborate costumes that are reminiscent of showgirls. The movie showcases themes of friendship, acceptance, and transformation, with the characters navigating both humorous and touching moments.
AI might be sinister in many ways but for things like this it's invaluable.

First memory of a crossdresser was in a James Bond movie.
The villain is dressed as a woman and tried to shoot Bond.
It didn't end well but got me thinking...
@billyboygirl Thunderball. Bond attends a funeral for an opposition spy, with the spy's "widow" in attendance. Bond figured out that the "widow" was actually the spy, and the funeral was for show; if everybody thought the spy was dead, they'd let their guard down. Oddly enough, when I saw the movie, it was paired as a double feature with Jerry Lewis doing a CD bit as well in "Three On A Couch". Extra oddly enough, this weekend I'll be attending a gender org social event across the street from that theater site 60 years ago...
Wow, Kendra, you have a remarkable memory! How amazing also that you'll be attending an event right across from the Theater. Hope you enjoy it all.
The AHP episode sounds sweet for the time. The plot to the AHP episode sounds like a scene from Huckleberry Finn. He dresses as a girl to escape and an older woman deduces he is a boy, through a series of tests she devises.
As a child, I remembering first watching a crossdressing movie called “Where’s Charlie?” a comedy.
However, the romantic comedy that really affected me was “Goodbye Charlie?” with Debbie Reynolds and Tony Curtis. She was a playboy who was murdered and comes back as a woman. Debbie Reynolds was beautiful.
I think all CDs need to see ”The Triple Echo”. A WWII period piece about a young soldier who first disguises himself as a woman then becomes enthralled with dressing as one.
