Things You Do When You Was Younger.

This is A popular topic on the FTM board, So I figured why not discuss it here as well?

I DESPISED wearing pants, particularly baggy/loose ones.

I also wanted my hair long all the time.

Lucky for me my parents were leniant, and allowed me to keep my hair long and wear shorts year round.

Add your nostalgic desires!

I actually like baggy pants because i can pretend that its a loose dress!

Otherwise, I have rather long hair, as i have been growing it out since 6th grade (im in 12th now). Sadly, my parents limited the length until 9th grade, so its not as long as it could be. Also since my family and school are completely amazingly fine with odd stuff, since 9th grade, i have worn nail polish!!

finally, i have a cute backpack, love pink stuff, and generally am feminine in public, so..... my parents are awesome that they were totally ok with this femininity!!!!!

I wore a sweat shirt that was too big for me so it wasnt so painfully obvious that i didnt have a chest. I went to private schools mostly with dress codes we were required to wear slacks. All the girls but me allowed to wear skirts.

I had always tried to overmasculanize 'cause for some reason that I didn't understand I knew that I Was different & w/ the way that my dad was (& more then likely still is, I haven't talked to him or my mom in over 6 years now also he was in the navy ) but once I figured out why I always felt different I started to express it when I had my own job & things have been progressing slowly ever since.

I generally wear tight fitting jeans and pants that look EXTREMELY female. I also shave my legs and the rest of my body often. My hair is pretty long and curly too!!

Love ya!

I have been dressing for as long as I can remember. When I was very young I would steal things from my sisters and dress up in my room at night. My step mom used to sell Avon so I would swipe things from her sample stash as well. I got caught a few times by my dad who responded harshly to say the least. Over the years I got better at hiding things. I remember one time we made a hole on our bedroom wall by opening the door too hard. It happened to be on a common wall with the closet so my dad made a hole inside the closet to put patch on the exterior facing wall behind the door. I would drop things down inside the wall to hide them and fish them out with a hanger when I wanted them. I would wear things under my "normal clothes" so no one would know. Fortunately I lived in the northeast so a good part of the year it was cool enough for layers. I would also paint my toenails and such since it was easy to hide. I guess I was a sneaky kid.

I moved in with my mother when I was 14 and after she caught me a few times she warmed up to it, sort of; which is to say that I didn’t have to hide things from her so much although, I did my best not to make it glaringly obvious. Her take on the whole thing was that dressing up was better than drinking or doing drugs. Evidently she thought I was just a cross dresser and I guess she could live with that. To this day she still doesn’t know the truth of the matter. I suppose I am still pretty sneaky.
