Do you remember the first time? I was about 5 years old when my sister and I played dress up. For her it was a game, for me, something swelled within me and I knew right then it was something more. When she ran to get our mother to show me off, I don’t know why, but I was embarrassed, and frantically blocked the door to stop them from entering — her pushing on the one side, me with my sissy shoes slipping on the hardwood floor on the other until my mother left. I was in the closet for the next 35 years until coming fully out in 2001. You can learn more about me at https://briannaaustin.info/
