Starting Out Crossdressing

[Guest Christina Hunter]

From a early age ive always been intrested in dressing like a female and it was only when my mum went on holiday and i was left alone that i start to get that urge again to dress like a girl.

Anyways when i was alone i started to try on my mums dresses, skirts, tops and bra's and it felt so liberating. Since them ive crossdressed in the house at nearly every opertunity i get. Ive started tucking and wearing tight panties underneath my normal boxer shorts just because i love the feeling of having them away and feeling like a sence of feeling nothing down there.

I really want to take my crossdressing to the next level but i am really restained by living in a family where i cant freely do it and i dont think i have the courage to come out

We have pretty much all had that same experience of wanting to dress, but not being able to because of living in our parent's house because the vast majority of use discover the need to be female (or male) at an early age - almost always before puberty.

You list yourself as transsexual and say, "I really want to take my crossdressing to the next level but i am really restained by living in a family where i cant freely do it and i dont think i have the courage to come out." Are you refering to the 'next level' as dressing in public or are you refering to transitioning? Either one will require you to come out.

Not knowing your parents or even your age, I will not tell you to just come out - that is something that you will have to work on as to timing and who to tell. You might try talking to a therapist who specializes in Gender Identity Disorders (as they have been labeled), but I don't know about the privacy laws in the UK - that might get back to your mum before you can tell her. Believe me this is something that they do not want to hear from a stranger or find out by suddenly seeing you dressed. So be careful.

You need to give everything a lot of thought and be sure to approach the subject with your mum as much on a positive side as you can. If you start out with, "I have a huge, horrible problem and when I tell you you're going to hate me." They won't take it as well, give them current information about how it is considered now to be a medical issue, not a mental defect.

I'm sure that you will hear some other opinions - read them all and take the bits from each one that seem to apply best to your situation, we are here to support each other and we all do our very best.

Know that you have friends here if you need someone to talk to before you do come out - it is almost as liberating as dressig (almost).
