How old were you when you crossdressed for the first time?
I am not sure of the exact year. You would think that something that significant would be a date, or at least a year I would remember, but I don’t. My best guess is 1962, ’63 or ’64, when I was 11, 12 or 13-years-old… those years when a boy begins transitioning into manhood or otherwise.
I did not dress fully the first time. I only wore my mother’s high heels and nylon stockings (way back when nylons had seams). The second time, I added my mother’s bra and girdle. Then I added dresses from my mother’s and sister’s wardrobes.
After that, I crossdressed whenever I was home alone fine-tuning my presentation, which finally saw the light of day, rather night, on Halloween 1969.
And the rest is her story!
So how old were you the first time you crossdressed?
