Transvestia

myself in dressing completely as a woman and altering my normally masculine mannerisms to coincide with that of my appearance, i.e., the mannerisms of a young woman. I have no guilt complexes or anything of that sort in regard to my Femme- Personation. I am not a homosexual nor a bisexual person. To put it succinctly, I am simply a heterosexual male who throughly enjoys being a male but also enjoys letting his feminine side have her say.

DESTINY

I was really elated when I found I was fated

To wear my hair all up in curls.

In my crinoline dress and Mary Jane shoes

I looked like other neighborhood girls.

I wonder what Mommy and Daddy will say

When they see what my Auntie has done

To their pride and their joy, their nice little boy,

To their only begotten son.

For Auntie has taught me to curtsy and dance

Since that first week of summer when I threw away pants.

She has taught me to love sweet perfume and laces

And taken me shopping in feminine places.

I've been taught to do housework to cook and to sew

And to act like a lady wherever I go.

Though I feel a storm coming I just cannot change

I must face them down though I may appear strange

When I show them their daughter, who once was their son Will they know there's no turning when once it's begun?
