I first discovered and started wearing pantyhose and knee high nylons when I was 13 or 14 years old. It was my introduction to gender euphoria. I felt different inside. I didn’t know what was happening to me. I just knew I loved the feeling that these women’s items gave me.
Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s was a tough time to be trans. I was so afraid that I was going to end up being a criminal of some sort. That’s what the media of the time taught us of trans people. Trans people were gay prostitutes, serial killers, pedophiles, or all of the above.
