Reply To: Self-Identifying as a Crossdresser

[Stephanie MacNeil]

I always knew what I was doing was crossdressing, but it wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I could affirmatively look at myself and say “I am a crossdresser”.   It was a nice moment of growth and truth.
I also can say I’m a transvestite.  I know some shy away from that term, but to me it literally means the same thing, and I don’t need to run from it.   I’m a male who is writing this in a dress, pantyhose, high heels, makeup and a wig.  If that’s not a transvestite, then I don’t know what is.  And it’s ok.
