First time I realized

First time I realized I was a crossdresser was at age 10 and it was after the adoption was final. I had my eyes on a pair of mom's pantyhose on her bed one day. Decided to take them and go in my room to try them on, did loving it. Mom caught me wearing them and I thought she would get mad at me at first. Sat beside me and told me she loved me no matter what discovering who I was. Good thing was she talked to a couple more other supportive moms that had a son this way my age. I met their sons whom were like me and a friendship started with them. I would go over to their houses and we would dress up in girl's clothing having fun. Mom would take me shopping for girl's clothing and the shoes. Age 11, my ears pierced for the first time and loved it knowing I could wear earrings like mom wore. As I got older, my friendship with these two friends of mine became tighter whom helped me realize I have a happy life as male with a female side that loves to come out. They are my friends Ashley and Mariah whom also live a happy life as male when not dressed as their female sides like me. We do out together dressed as our femme sides even with our wives whom are supportive.

I just read your post and want to tell you that I am glad that you have had such happy experiences. It is good to know!!!

It has been to this day. Ashley, Mariah and I have lot of great memories growing up during our school years. Our female friend always saw us as one of the girls going out with them. They still do to this day. We do remember going to school dressed as our femme sides our sophomore year of high school, was dress as the opposite gender day during spirit week one day. My friend Amy let me borrow a dress of hers for that day, a knee length black dress. She saw me in it and said I looked better in it and did not look good on her. We still remember it and it reminds of this part of a News Radio tv show episode
