How old are you and where you from?
I am 47, from Phoenix, AZ
How long have you crossdressed?
I have been dressing most of my life, earliest memories were around 4 or 5, and I have been dressing in some form or another every since…
Are you heterosexual? Bisexual? Unsure?
Earlier on, I identified as Bi, but I am married and considered myself as flexible and openly attracted to a more feminine form…
How important is passing to you?
I’ve never cared about passing as I am more about being presentable. I like to make sure I am well kept and well dressed when I present as Barbara
What would you like to do with your crossdressing moving forward?
I just want to connect with others, be there for any form of support…
Are you public about your crossdressing?
Yes, in that I am comfortable going out anywhere when dressed as Barbara
What’s your favorite thing to wear? What would you say your style is?
I like to dress for the occasion so, if it calls for dressing up for an event/outing, i like to wear things trendy/stylish for my age….my style is more age appropriate, I like to look like women who I admire such as Janet Mock, Wendy Williams, Vanessa Williams
What do you wish you did differently in your life?
Wish I had the understanding I have now, when I was much younger, and be able to just be just as carefree with being Barbara as I am today
What advice would you give to other crossdressers or those questioning their gender or sex?
Truly understand who you are with your dressing/gender/sex, and be comfortable being you…
Why did you come on the podcast? [Would you recommend others to come on the podcast?]
Just wanted the opportunity to connect with you as I have heard how great you are and how fun your podcast was to do….absolutely I would tell others to come and share their stories with you, its a great forum/outlet for others to see others are out here just like me!
