hello,i just joined,i go by cheryl ,my wife decided on it when i told her my fem name was teresa cheryl,she said it was to close to my real name,so she said your cheryl not teresa any more..i been dealing with gender issues before they knew about g.d. im going to be 50 this month,married going on 27 yrs. my wife knew before we got married,i kept it to lingerie for a time,then on yr 11 after not talking about it with her,it all blew up and she dragged cheryl out of the closet and set fire to it so i couldnt hide anymore. my wife has been my rock,she set up all my firsts outside of dressing in secret,my first make over,my first outing,buying my first wig,these days i use my real hair for i let it grow out,she got my ears pierced. she knows im ts but because of my love for her i keep it to crossdressing and no further for she married my male side not my fem side,besides i have a fem body already without hrt so i can live without that for now,she tries to help me keep balance even though i feel like a ping pong ball at times...
my early yrs was fun,i dressed gender neutral and most people thought i was a tomboy til they found out i was a boy,when people made that mistake my dad would say haircut time,i hated getting my hair cut,still do,my dad tried to teach me to be male even though he knew i was different,i didn't bulk out like most boys who worked hard jobs with heavy lifting,i formed like a girl would,as i got older and grew small breasts i quit taking my shirt off in front of other boys,even swiming i wore and still wear a t shirt..i knew about males who liked to dress in female clothing and always wanted to do that myself,even when i played alone i played both male and female rolls,i learned about transsexualism from watching t.v. and reading about it,i knew i could not speak of this to my dad,even though they watched and let us watch those old documenteries on what is now called ->-bleeped-<-,learned alot from those...when my dad died when i was 16 and now was alone alot at home i would dress in my moms dresses and my middle sisters underthings,ive always been a female size,male clothes hang on me,haven't wore a suit since i was 13 and told my mom no more..my normal attire for over 40 yrs has been jeans and t-shirts,i have some button down shirts for certain occasions...i was on the road towards transitioning for i was tired of playing male,then i met my soon to be wife at the age of 17 and she rocked my world,then something happened and we did not see each other for 5 yrs,during those 5 yrs i did alot of soul searching,and out of the blue angie called me and we talked for months then i moved to fl.,6 mo later she came to visit,then i wound up in n.o. la to be with her and the rest is history..
