Curi-YAAS Convo with Barbara Kay Q&A!

Episode 77 features Barbara Kay, a crossdresser who lives with her family in Arizona. Here’s our little Q&A with her.

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!

Curi-YAAS Convo with Veronica Q&A!

Episode 72 and 74 featured Veronica, a crossdresser living in Seattle

How old are you and where you from?

 48 going on 28, I was born in Helsinki, brought up in Vancouver, BC, spent 10 years on the east coast and then I’ve lived in Seattle since then

How long have you crossdressed?

Since I was about 8, I think

Are you heterosexual? Bisexual? Unsure?

I could be labeled as on the straight side.  I am sexually attracted to the female form.

Are you currently in a relationship?

Yes, married with two kids, 7 & 9

How important is passing to you?

I like to be perceived as a woman rather than a man dressed as a woman.  I won’t change my voice because it is just too much work to do that but if I fool somebody to the point of thinking that I’m a woman until I speak, I’ve done well!

What would you like to do with your crossdressing moving forward?

I would like to keep getting more open about it by baby steps. My extended family might end up finding out and that might be a relief for me… and maybe even them.

Are you public about your crossdressing?

Yes, except for my extended family.  Not so public that I would post my VeronicaLove5000 to my own facebook.

What’s your favorite thing to wear? What would you say your style is?

I love legwear like pantyhose and tights.  I would say classic and pretty.  I love fit and flare dresses and 1950s style.

What do you wish you did differently in your life?

Possibly starting public crossdressing much earlier in life.  It would have been great to have styled my natural blonde hair rather than wearing wigs.  Too late for that now… haha!

What advice would you give to other crossdressers or those questioning 
their gender or sex?

First thing is that repressing it will end up being as successful in your mind as prohibition was in USA.  Second is that coming out, generally, is much worse in your mind than it is in real life.  Lastly, talk to people in the community that you identify with.

Why did you come on the podcast? [Would you recommend others to come 
on the podcast?]

I heard the podcast and immediately it felt like a breath of fresh air for crossdressers.  I wanted to talk to Giselle pretty immediately and, true to her word, she responded immediately and got me on the podcast at lightning speed. I friend of mine already wants to come on the podcast.

Curi-YAAS Convo with Chrissy Mano Q&A!

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

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
