Do You Know A Cross-dresser?

I never considered writing a story about cross-dressing until I was confronted with it. I just recently found out that a friend of mine who I have known for several years is a cross-dresser. He's a good guy, a family man, is married with kids, and, by all accounts, appears normal. Whatever that means? Yet, what is normal? Am I normal as opposed you or to someone else? Who is normal enough to say what is normal and what is not? Where is the standard of normalcy written?

His wife knows that he enjoys wearing women's clothes; she even helps him get ready, helping him with his hair and makeup. His children, still very young, do not know that Daddy enjoys dressing as a woman. Boy, there goes his career as a little league coach. He is a champion golfer and we have played together in a foursome, although he is much more of a professional golfer than I am. I am just a duffer.

Stuart works as a manicurist at a famous Boston hair salon and all of his co-workers know that he is a cross-dresser. With a set of fake big boobs, a padded ass, high heels, a wig, and a serious fashionable dress, he dresses as a woman every year at the company Christmas party. The thing that I recently found out was that cross-dressers are usually heterosexual whereas transsexuals are usually homosexuals. In my ignorance, I combined them together as one making no difference in my mind between the two. Actually, I should have known. I've watched enough Jerry Springer shows to know the difference between the two.

Nonetheless, the question that I have for Stuart is, the next time that I see him, where does he buy women's shoes in his size? He takes a size 13.

I am a huge movie buff and when I sit here and think about it now, as I write this story, cross-dressing has played a big part in my hobby of watching movies. Mrs. Doubtfire, Tootsie, The Birdcage, Big Momma's House, White Chicks, Yentl, She's the Man, and Victor/Victoria, just to name a few of the more famous films that have played at my local cinema throughout the years for my viewing pleasure with the theme of cross-dressing and gender-bending flashing conspicuously across the silver screen.
