I had a friend who was forced to cross dress

[Mark]

When I was say nine or ten I had a friend who stepmother forced him to dress in girl's clothing, I mean every thing. He fought it for at least two years and one day he decided he like it. That was after he lost in a child abuse case against his stepmother for making him wear girls clothing.

Now I explained why I am asking this, Is there any one here or knows of any one who loves to cross dress now but was forced to cross dress as a child?

Mark,

While I wasn't actually forced to crossdress, something akin to that did happen for me. See my beginnings story:

My second grade teacher punished boys who acted up by making them wear scarves over their heads all day-- in class, out for recess, etc. I think this was a form of petticoating. I was both terrified by it and drawn to it. I never acted up in class, and so never received the punishment, but instead, I tried on my mom's clothes. For a long time, this was a self-perpetuating activity, since I associated crossdressing with punishment, and doing so on the sly made me feel bad about myself, I felt I should punish myself by crossdressing! Anyway, eventually, I realized I simply liked the transformation, and over the years realized it is simply a side of who I am.

I knew of two other boys who had the same teacher, one in my class, and one in the class the following year, who actively cross-dressed. The one in my class always tried to get in trouble so he could wear the scarf. He showed me once how he wore his sister's clothes whenever no one was home. I never told him I did that too.

There is always a chicken and egg problem here. I think I already had the inclination before second grade, so the experience was more of a trigger than a cause. I can't speak for my other two friends.

Interesting topic.

Hey girls,

Mark,

I had never condsidered the fact that I was forced to dress, but indeed I had no say so in it, and was dressed in girls clothes at a very young age by my older sisters.



I do not remember this event, however after having read many stories in "Your Beginnings" about other boys who were either dressed as girls by thier sisters, or forced to dress as a girl as punishment, I firmly beleive this does have something to do with our dressing, although I have no proof.

There are also crossdressers who revel in the shame they feel by dressing in girls clothes, and in fact love the humiliation they feel when out dressed. They dress very provocatively to invite insults and astonished reactions from the public, in hopes of feeling humiliated. This type of crossdressing may be caused from being forced to dress as a child for the purpose of being shamed.

Hope this helps.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Elizabeth, thank you for your reply and that cute picture of you as a young boy. The friend I wrote about his stepmother after nearly fifteen years of forcing him to wear girls' clothing, Made him go to a psychiatrist
because he love wearing girls panties and bras under his street clothes, Calling him gay saying he is sick in the head. He is a true cross dresser to this day and loves doing so. I was his only friend that didn't try to beat him up every time his stepmother sent him out side to play with the boys.

What was your mother's reaction to all of this? Or was it all your older sisters doings?
