MEN CAN WEAR DRESSES TOO

About the Book

Catie stood in front of the full length mirror. It was Friday night. The one night a month that she could dress up and go out dancing but, nothing was going right. Catie sighed and began to fiddle with the new Karen Millen, black and white geometric patterned dress. Catie reached down and smoothed her stockings, and checked the mirror one final time. The reflection indifferently shrugged in reluctant acceptance. Was that a smudge of mascara? Catie reached for a tissue and wiped the corner of her eye. She cursed. How do other women manage to achieve long curly perfect eye lashes when she could only ever manage to surround her eyes in a black gooey mess. She took out the dark cherry red lipstick and freshened her lips, pouting, to dab away any excess lipstick with the tissue. Her silvery blonde hair hung limply around her face. She thought maybe it was time for a new hairstyle?  

Catie shuffled her feet. Would she be able to dance or even walk with the four inch black high heels she had chosen for
the evening.

Catie stood in front of the full length mirror and smiled. The transformation from a man to a woman was complete, at least for one night.

About the Author

My name is Catie Maye and I have been a heterosexual male to female cross dresser since I was 9 years old. This is a secret that I have held from all but a few for nearly 44 years.

I have continually struggled with not only living a dual gendered life but also with society’s prejudices against anything that does not fit into the comfy chair of 'normality'.

My childhood in a tough South London suburb and a career in construction did not leave much room for wearing a dress and high heels.

After 25 years of marriage and one daughter later I now live with my partner in Milton Keynes and whilst everyday still has its challenges, together we are finding ways to accept catie maye into our lives.

Welcome to my first book because 'Men Can Wear Dresses Too'.
