I've been in love with feminine clothes and makeup since I was 5, started dressing in mom's things when I was in the 5th grade and have been doing so ever since, with a lengthy timeout of 20 years while my kids grew up. Now I need to be the Phoenix arising from the ashes of the closet. I transitioned last year, and started living as a woman, but just recently found out that I am an intersex person, truly a biological woman! Getting totally dressed every day from the skin out and from head to painted toes always felt natural, now I know why. Interestingly, I was named Lauren at birth, I changed the spelling to the masculine version in grade 9 after ending up in a girls home room and PE class at school, but have since gone back to Lauren.
