I used to. I didn’t purge as that’s expensive, but I could go for months at a time without dressing while my clothes stayed in my wardrobe. When I didn’t dress I think I was kidding myself I’d finally got over it.

After a marriage and a really long break from dressing, my femme side eventually came back stronger than ever. The only real difference in the way I “manage it” now is that I have accepted that this is who I am. Previous attempts to hide her away was because my femme side was a guilty secret I was ashamed of, but if you have a femme side, I don’t think it ever leaves you.
