ArticleAbout a month ago, I was shocked out of my shoes. My longtime friend, 'Orville,' told me he had bought $280 worth of women's clothes. He went on to describe how 'great' it feels to wear them. He says he has been a cross-dresser since boyhood when he started wearing his sister's clothes. When she found out, she continued dressing him up, and he loved it.
Orville says he's a woman trapped in a man's body — something about brain lobes. I saw it once in the newspaper, but didn't read it because I wasn't interested.
Orville has told a lot of his friends, and now he is isolated. I don't go over there either, because I don't want to hear it. (He even said I should try it.)
We are in our 60s, and I think Orville is headed for trouble. I just can't believe he is gay. I am heterosexual (when I get the chance).
Does he need a shrink? Please advise.
