I went back and reread my first blogs - bad grammar and all (I'm VERY picky about grammar). It seems as if what I had was more of a panty fetish by reading those entries. It wasn't. This, like for all of you, is a lifestyle. It's how I am. It's just that for a young cd, panties were the easiest way to dress at first, and even then I had to be so careful. I was picked on enough up through my second year of high school, so being found out as tg might have landed me in the hospital from a vicious beating, as what happened to so many "deviants" back then. One little tidbit - during my senior year, at my second high school, at the beginning of a band rehearsal I ran into a bully from my first school. I was taller then, every bit as in shape as he was, a chip on my shoulder, and no longer the "geek." He didn't dare mouth off to me, and got out as soon as he could!
As for skirts and dresses, I just never knew how to select sizes (had no guidance), coordinate, etc., much less where to hide them. I still have problems! Any skirts I get now have to have elastic bands because I don't know my skirt size! But now I'm relaxing in my new short red skirt and enjoying what I can today. I can't wait to dress with others someday soon.
