Greetings, my dear readers. First I want to express my appreciation for your responses to my blog postings. It is so rewarding to know that there are so many of you that share this common experience with me that we call, loosely, “crossdressing”. Perhaps a better term is “gender fluid.” That pretty much works for me, as we all have a sense of who we are that is much broader than the confining role of the traditional binary male. I can’t imagine going back to being the macho male I once pretended to be (I say “pretended” because that was never who I really was) and wearing those heavy, scratchy underwear. Thinking about this fascinating journey of embracing the inner femme that we know ourselves to be, I started wondering about what got us all started on this journey.
I’ve read a lot of posts on various sites, regarding crossdressing folks like us, and have found there are many starting points. Some have sisters, and got started by exploring their sister’s panty drawer, or closet in search of the perfect skirt or dress. Others went foraging in their mom’s closet and dresser. Others didn’t have a sense of their femme self until later in life and lived, or do live, in fear of discovery by their wives. Others, the most fortunate of all, have a spouse that is totally okay with the feminine side of her husband or significant other, and lives happily in the gender fluid world with him.
So, I have a question for you: what got you started, and at what age? When did you first slip on that luscious pair of panties and know you were hooked – that this was a part of who you are? When did you first try on that first bra, or blouse, or skirt, and know that this was something you just had to do? We all had some starting point that led to where we are now, and I would love to hear your stories. By reading the blogs here at Xdress, surely by now you know you are far from alone in this fascinating world of the gender fluid; you are part of a virtual community here at Xdress. Tell me your story – I would love to hear it!
Fondest regards,
Angie

Daniel – good for you! It’s so nice to hear from one of our elder statesmen (states women?). There are no age or racial barriers to this wonderful thing we call crossdressing. Thanks for your post!
Fond regards,

I’m 71 years old and have worn panties and lingerie since I was about 12. My first panties was about 7 as I was at grandma’s and fell in a puddle. My gran put me in a cousins panties . I liked the silky feeling. Still do. I wear them 24\7.
Dave – don’t worry about being long-winded. I loved your story, and you can be as long-winded as you wish as far as I’m concerned.
Fond regards,
Angie

Angie, Stevie, and all the others, I know my responses are often long-winded and tend to veer off topic but I would like to say thank you. I am not struggling with any issues, have a supportive wife, and know my sexual/life preferences, but I also know that many others do not share that luxury. I applaud everyone’s efforts to be supportive and positive (even if only thru strict comment moderation though I like to think not) and always look forward to reading more from the community. It’s the thought provoking questions and genuine love I feel here that keeps me coming back for both clothing and food for thought. As always, cheers to the spectrum and the myriad of individuals it brings.
