Like you, I was a "normal" boy in many respects while growing up, yet there were still a few things about me that didn't seem "right", to either myself or others. I was one of those guys who liked reading a little too much; did a little too well at school; and cried a little too easily - you probably know the kind. Even more oddly, I seemed to feel quite "girly" a lot of the time. Even back then, I knew that was pretty weird, but strangely enough, I can't ever remember feeling uncomfortable about it.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I've long had a fondness for women's clothing (as well as flamboyant clothing in general), and have often worn it openly, albeit while still presenting as a guy in my case. I, too, have gotten a lot of positive comments about the way I dress, a surprising number of people having told me I look really good in female attire (I just seem to have the face and body to be able to pull off androgynous dressing).<BR/><BR/>I had to laugh at your little footnote about your abortive law career. When I was in my final years of school, a lot of my classmates were intent on doing law, having no doubt had their heads filled with all manner of foolish ideas about the profession by shows such as 'LA Law' (which seemed to be <I>the</I> big law show on TV at the time). No doubt they thought a career in law would be nothing more than an endless succession of sensational court cases and the like. Me being the cynic I was, however, I figured it was more likely to entail a lot of boring stuff, such as poring over musty old legal tomes in search of archaic laws one could exploit in tedious court cases involving complete nobodies engaged in petty squabbles. Interestingly enough, about ten years after I'd left school, I ran into an old schoolmate who <I>had</I> gone on to do law, and he said it was <I>exactly</I> how I'd thought it'd be!Zosimus the Heathennoreply@blogger.com
