I am a life-long transgendered
person who cross dresses. That, my friend, summarizes who I
think I am. Lets see if I can break that down into something
that has a bit of public meaning; maybe even "user-friendly." |

"Life-long"
I seem to have shot right past my 64th birthday. I have no idea where it went and if
you see it, please give it my best regards. My first remembrance
of cross dressing is from around my 4th birthday when I traded
shoes with my girl cousin. They were red mary janes and I was
thrilled to pieces. This is probably the most vivid memory I
have from that year and that fact alone tells me volumes about
dressing and gender issues and how deep they can go and how
cellular they can be. |

"transgendered person" I had dinner with
a CD friend once who said (pointing to her groin) "sex is here
and" (pointing to her head) "gender is here". I am
completely convinced that it is so. Gender is about perceptions
and attitudes and may even be innate. I have felt a strong
feminine aspect to my self as long as I can remember and it has
colored my entire life. It is not a bad thing at all but it has
caused me untold pain until I came to understand it and to
embrace it. Now I know that feminine is a gender word and that
female is a sexual word. I am 100% male and probably 50%
feminine. |

"cross dresses" I, and perhaps you, love
to wear feminine clothing. It simply feels great. I have no idea
why I like dressing any more than I can tell you why I like
chocolate ice cream. I just do. Put another way - I have never
seen the wind, but i have seen what the wind does. You just
can't be analytical about everything in life. Dressing is a
harmless indulgence if I am careful. I have found that it is one
thing for me to tell a person that I am a cross dresser and
quite another for me to appear before them in a dress and heels.
So, yes, I do cross dress and I doso because I enjoy the feeling
of release it gives me as a transgendered person. |

So, that's it as far as little me is concerned. I am happily
married, have two great grown kids, and I am a Grandfather. |
| |
Do my kids know? "yes, they do". Have they seen me dressed? "No,
they have not." |
| |
Does my wife know? "Yes, of course she does. She is sitting next
to me as I write this and she is very supportive. She is
my shinning light and love. |
