Episode 61 features guest Chrissy Mano. Here's our Q&A with her.
How old are you, and where you from?
I was born in 1987 (32 right now) and I am from Australia but currently living in Israel
How long have you crossdressed?
I have been crossdressing for the past 20+ years since I was 9-10 years old
Are you heterosexual? Bisexual? Unsure?
I am married to a woman but I'm not attracted to women. I identify as a Queer individual because I know I am gay but not fully gay
Are you currently in a relationship?
I am married to my wife, we have been married for 8 years
How important is passing to you?
Well my image on Instagram, passing is super important but if I'm able to go out dressed it won't be as important
What would you like to do with your crossdressing moving forward?
Teach society that it's normal, teach people to wear what makes them comfortable and I want to be Chrissy 24/7 without anyone trying to hurt me
Are you public about your crossdressing?
If Instagram counts as public then definitely yes 😅 but in real life I'm really private about it
What’s your favorite thing to wear? What would you say your style is?
Stockings and heels are everything for me. I like to wear sexy fashion styles and girly fashion styles, anything that is tight on the top part of my body is a must and the bottom part is more free like a wide skirt or short dresses
What do you wish you did differently in your life?
That I didn't come to Israel
What advice would you give to other crossdressers or those questioning their gender or sex?
E,E,E,E
Explore, Experience, Enjoy and Evolve
Why did you come on the podcast? [Would you recommend others to come on the podcast?)
I was inspired by so many people talking about their stories and what they've been through I've felt like maybe I should to because I heard it takes a lot off of your chest kinda like therapy and it truly was a great experience. I would recommend anyone to do this
