About a year ago I had an epiphany. I was having dinner with a friend, who is
gay, and we were talking about women's fashion. He noticed that I wear pantyhose
and stockings quite a bit and most of the other women do not any more. Well, he
got an earful after that.
What I told him, and still feel this way, is that I just like pantyhose. I
enjoy wearing them. They feel good when I put them on. They feel good when I rub
my legs together while wearing them. They look good too. While my legs are not
deformed by any means, they are not perfect. There are tiny flaws and a few
scars left over from my tomboy days. The hose cover those up. Even though I am
wearing pantyhose five or six times a week, I still catch myself looking down at
my legs and saying to myself "Oh, I am wearing pantyhose and heels today. That
looks good on me!" Odds are I am giving my leg a light touch after that.
On top of how I like the way they look and feel, I think most men like the
look as well. When I walk down the street wearing a skirt, hose and heels -
heads turn and girlfriends elbows start flying.
Anyway back to dinner. After telling him all this, he gave the biggest laugh
and made the following declaration to me - "if you had been born a guy, you
would have been a crossdresser." It took a while for that to sink in. I had
never thought of it. Here I am wearing what I love to wear everyday and enjoying
in quite a bit and I never gave a moments thought to - what if I couldn't?
I immediately had much more sympathy, and empathy, for the crossdressers out
there. |
