I did but not the way most people think of cross-dressing.
I noticed some men's clothing was uncomfortable, rough, and scratchy, and I didn't like it. I was shopping for long underwear, getting ready for some winter gold prospecting. The men's were so over-priced I decided to not buy them. As I was leaving to go to a different store, I passed a display for women's thermal undershirts. They felt so soft and lightweight, and cost less than the men's thermals, so I bought two.
I was delighted with how they fit, felt, and kept me warm. It never occurred to me that it might be considered cross-dressing. After getting and finally accepting my diagnosis of GD, I began to experiment. I was so amazed at how comfortable women's clothing was compared to men's. They fit better, felt nice on the skin, and had pretty colors or patterns. Why hadn't I considered this before?
Well, I know why. I was so caught up in being the manly man, it would have been unthinkable.
