When I first stumbled across this forum a few weeks ago, I started to write the story of my beginning, and as usual (for me), it ran way too long. Anyway,I wound up submitting it to a CD story site. If anyone is interested, you can read it at:

Tamara,
Wow! That was a powerful story! We went to the website and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I'm sure that when you look back on that day, time flew by all too fast. It's the kind of thing that, if it were to happen today, we would wish that we knew it was going to happen long in advance. Then we would have time to prolong the feeling with anticipation, over a long period.
I, too, was in a couple of plays when I was very young, but remember very little about it, except for wearing a "froofy" little outfit as a member of a King's court. It was not nearly as feminine as the one you described.

The following is from Mrs. Missy(SO):
My hope is that someday you can have those same wonderful feelings in the presence of a loved one. Why don't you invite your wife to join us.

Hi Tamara--
That is a well-written story, for sure, and it did move me. There were times when I first started dressing as an adult that I felt sadness at having to take off the clothes--like "someone" was going to banish them forever.
It took months to stop feeling that, and it must have been some buried memory where someone did indeed do that.
They put lipstick on me for a first-grade talent show. I did not like that at all! Yet, at 3 or 4, I begged my sisters to dress me up. They have no memory of this, but I do. I was OK with it at first, and then I looked in a mirror and started crying hysterically, making them take the makeup off.
But I do remember seeing the Disney movie, Cinderella, at 5. I was in love with that movie, but like you, I already knew that I was not supposed to wear such things, and could never do it in REAL life. Forty-six years later, after a pageant where I wore a nice gown, I cried when I realized that I had done it in real life, after all.
