I found that when I wore "my" own "clothes," I could be my com- plete self. I didn't get so nervous anymore and I began to understand the true meaning of self-understanding.

Finally, after about three years I became worried. When I would slip into something comfortable at bedtime I would always find my- self looking back over my shoulder. This went on until I was about 14 when my father caught me wearing my step-mother's negligee. He became so furious that I was scared to death. He didn't under- stand me or my reasons for doing such an "unholy" thing. For about a month after, he made me wear a skirt and lipstick when I was home. Deep inside I was very happy, but on the outside where my emotions lay, I was slowly turning into a nervous wreck.

Well, after a few turns of events, my father put me in a home for children from underprivileged homes. I spent two and one-half years in one. During that time, I went almost mad because I didn't have a way to release. At first I thought I might be able to forget about it altogether, but that was an impossibility even for one as hard-headed as myself. I could never get it off of my mind.

When I turned 17 I enlisted in the U.S. Army so I could get away from my family and old memories. This was in 1966. In 1968 I went to Korea where I met the most wonderful woman ever to enter my life. Soon after we were married. About six months after we were married I ran out of clean shorts. My wife said not to worry, but to wear a pair of her panties that day. Suddenly all of my old memories rushed upon me all at once. Being half embarrassed and half happy I went ahead and wore her panties. After that I began dressing quite often. My wife, not quite understanding, thought that I was "funny." I went ahead and explained to her that I had been doing this thing for years.

She accepted me as I was, no questions asked.

Soon after she persuaded me to wear some of her dresses in front of her sister, cousins, and daughters, who by the way, are all girls. Well, surprisingly enough, they too thought I was cute and even went so far as to buy me my own small wardrobe. You can't imagine my joy. I stayed in Korea 19 months and I am presently stationed state- side. I am also very lonely, because I would like to meet some friends like myself.
