I'm known on here as Justanother, but my 'enlightened' friends call me Kate. I've been crossdressing for most of my adult life. Raised in a single-parent home with my grandmother's frequent assistance (nan, your deeply missed),
It is possible if you like to change your screen name and Danielle our Forum Administrator could change it for you. If it is possible. Cross dressing does not mean that you are a 'cross dresser. I never cross dressed, I only dressed because it felt right.
I know what it is like to lose members of the family that are close to you. We can only cherish the memories, we have of them.

Like others might in my situation, I experimented with clothing and was shocked by the changes of puberty. I was discovered several times, and my mum patiently explained the functional differences between boys' and girls' clothing, though not the reasons why boys wear pants and girls wear skirts.
I guess you could say my time was around the 1980's, however, the style of clothing I liked came from women's magazines and not from the women around me. There were three things, I did not like about puberty, one was hair on my face, my voice changing and my breasts did not grow. I eventually changed those features, when I changed my life around.
That it is so funny, "not the reasons why boys wear pants and girls wear skirts", I would like to know that reason!
Quote from: Justanother on May 26, 2024, 11:43:25 AMTo address any confusion, I attempted to follow the 'male' role models available to me, shaping who I am today. Now at 42, in an unhappy marriage with two grown children, I'm contemplating whether to delve deeper into exploring the 'old' me and the extent of this journey.
I heard of the 'male role models' and in a vain attempt, I tried to do the same to make sure I threw the hounds of the scent. I don't know if I was successful or not.
I was 30 years old and I changed my life around and I sacrificed everything and I have never ever regretted what I did. I have led a very successful life since. You are never too old to change your life around if you so wish. The only major thing to consider is, will it make you happy?
Whatever path you decide to take after delving deeper in to your 'old me', then that it is up to you and you alone to decide.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the various forums and threads. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members.
In addition members of Susan's will more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these as well.
Take care and all the best for the future you.
Once again, Welcome to Susan's Place!Sarah BOffical Greeter@LoriDee @Northern Star Girl @Justanother
