I have no problem wearing a skirt and blouse. It is just wearing a dress. I grew up in an era when cross dressing was breaking the law, and movies and tv shows reinforced the idea. It may have been Tony Curtis and others in a movie wearing dresses to sneak out of a hotel. Some comment is made that if they get caught in dresses, they are going to jail.
If I remember right Lee majors wore a military women's uniform in one episode. There might have been a ...
There are also my abusive parents, My time in the military is known as running away from home. My mother has what I call a Irish temper. Kind of like the star trek episode where the woman kisses Kirk, and the next moment she slaps his face. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse, break a rule, and get paddled. Cry and you get more. It is a guessing game. If I play with a doll, will I get paddled.
I once put on a dress as a teenager, my mother told me not to do it again. Strange thing is, the dress is still hanging in my closet. It is too small for me to wear.
My dad was a police officer. He said his badge and gun is proof of his honesty, he lied. When he told his friends how he won his skates in a raffle, he lied. But then there was the attitude that everything I owned belonged to him. Even though I won the skates, they still belonged to him.
It was to a point that if he accused me of anything, I would be punished for lying if I denied it. (the other way is I'm punished, therefore I did it.)
He did not hide how he felt about boys with long hair, a comment about someone should hold them down and cut their hair. When boys have long hair, you can't tell it they are male or female.
He made a comment that if he found out any of his kids were gay, he would shoot them. Lucky for me, it was a plastic bullet in his revolver. It may have been an accident, but it should never have happened. There was enough power behind the plastic bullet that it stung when it hit me in the chest. He never apologized or even seemed to care that I got hit. (I am gay and I got shot.) He was also obey the rules or get punished. And, I had a sister that would lie to watch me get punished.
When I asked about the doll, my mother claimed I never had a doll.
