Input: Text: **the backstory**


i was first exposed to crossdressing when i was about 8. i was watching an episode of the suite life of zack and cody on disney channel and the premise of the episode of one of the twins crossdressing to enter a beauty pageant. at the time, i was mildly intrigued. a boy in girls clothes? crazy! i was a bit interested, and asked my mom if i could be a princess for halloween. she nipped that idea at the bud, and i went as a power ranger that year. 


then along came one summer day when i was 12. i was home alone and watching an episode of law and order: svu. the episode featured a transwoman who was accused of murdering a man in cold blood who was about to out her. again, i thought "hm, guy in girl's clothes." seeing as nobody else was home, i went upstairs to my sister's room and tried on one of her dresses and her fishnet tights over my boxers. i hung around like that for a little bit, before eventually changing back to guy clothes before my parents came home. 


from ages 12-14, i crossdressed in my sister's stuff whenever i could. whenever my parents and sister were out, the pants would come off and the comfy dresses would come on. i stole a wig from a friend when i was 13, and kept dressing until a near-discovery by my parents when i was 14. my mom almost sent me to bible camp over that. at that point, i tossed my wig and any other paraphernalia i had, and swore off crossdressing. 


of course, as one would imagine, all this crossdressing affected my growing young teenage mind. i was confused about gender, sexuality, whatnot. i read all about it on the internet whenever i could, went through a gender identity crisis at about 14 1/2, but then eventually came to the conclusion that i am a straight male who just so happens to like crossdressing and being pretty. 


age 16, sister goes off to college. i get a car, parents work more hours, find myself in an empty house more often than usual. one night, while flipping through some channels, i find myself on rupaul's drag race on the logo channel. you can guess where it went from here. but there was a problem: i had hit a growth spurt at age 15 and grew to about 5'10, while my sister stayed at 5'2, so my legs were muuuuuch longer while remaining skinny. so now, every dress she owned turned into a top. great. so as i did years ago, i went to the internet. 


let me tell you something: amazon gift cards in my hands last about as long as kenny powers lasted that time he came in his pants while making out with april. thanks to the helpful wiki i found on /r/crossdressing and the fantastic inventions known as amazon lockers, i began to accumulate a feminine wardrobe that would rival that of most cis girls. i kept all my clothes hidden in a locked trunk in my closet, and before long i had amassed a collection of wigs, makeup, skirts, dresses, shorts, tops, tights, hell even shoes. 


fast forward to today, aka, the day the house stood still. 


**today, when i fucked up**


today, my sister was working almost all day and my parents were coming home from a weekend trip to boston. they expected to be home at about 8:30, which was about the time my sister would be coming home from work. i calculated in my head that i had like all day to enjoy dressed. i went through my usual dressing routine: bath, shave (*everywhere*), panties, bra, dress, makeup, wig. after getting sufficiently pretty, i did what i do every other time i get dressed up: hung around my house for hours, watched football, played video games, browsed reddit. didn't go out (i pass with relative ease, but i'm way too paranoid about being caught.)  so, at about 7:00 i went through the de-beautification process, putting away all of my items. or so i thought. 


8:30 rolls around, sister comes home first, sits down on couch next to me. she comments "cdcaughtthrowaway, your eyes look a bit darker than usual." 
i instantly think *shit, i probably did a bad job removing my makeup.* i wait for a followup comment, but it never comes, so i assumed that maybe she just didn't suspect anything. parents come home a few minutes later, mom goes upstairs to use the bathroom. a couple minutes later, my mom comes downstairs and says to my sister "god dammit cdcaughtthrowawaysister, i really wish you'd stop leaving your makeup out. i almost knocked your expensive lipstick into the toilet. and stop leaving your underwear on the floor of the bathroom." 


my sister looks at my mom with a "what the hell you talkin bout" expression on her face and says "um, i don't remember leaving any lipstick on the bathroom counter." my dad retreats to his den, knowing that a fight's about to go down. i slyly attempt to slip out of the living room, but before i can make it upstairs my mom and sister go up to the bathroom. so i follow behind, and go into my room. 


that's the last time i saw them. my mom is not exactly...the most *accepting* person when it comes to gender and sexuality and stuff like that. i'm pretty certain that by this point she's figured something out, since she's stopped yelling at my sister and is now just yelling in general. it's nearly two hours later and my dad has knocked on my door twice, asking me to come outside and talk for a little bit (i guess he emerged from his den). i'm just pretending to be asleep. my plan tomorrow is to wake up extra early, drive to school extra early, and not come home until like forever. i guess i kind of wrote this long post in the likely event that i need to explain myself to them. at least now i have a general idea of what i have to say. bit of a cathartic release too. 

 



edit: my mom is working late, so i'll likely be able to talk to my dad alone. i have a feeling he'll be more understanding. will probably update later


edit 2: talked to my dad, update here: http://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/2s8icz/tifu_and_possibily_outed_myself_as_a_crossdresser/
