born 1950. earliest memory of crossdressing is at 4 years old. had to hide it of course. my older sister and mom knew early on but ignored it. I became obsessed with how wonderful the clothes made me feel, so wonderful!! I tried to put it out of my mind and thought if anyone found out I would be mortified! Army, infantry, Vietnam should make me a 'real man'... yeah right! all it got me was a purple heart and PTSD. Dated lots of girls and seemed I was more attracted to their clothes . Married when I was 25, 1 child at age 35. fast forward to now... 70 years old and still crossdressing. wife and daughter both know but ignore it. I am comfortable enough now to openly go shopping and am on a first name basis with sales women in local stores. My first bra fitting was so incredible and validating that I now own way too many bras and matching panties. 'Michelle' seems to be more liked by others than 'Mike'... go figure!!
