ABSTRACT
Home Alone If you're fortunate enough to have a space of your own, that's a wonder ful place to start experimenting with different elements of self-expression. One of the most common elements used to distinguish a gendered identity in our culture is clothing. You might try cross-dressing behind closed doors. Of course, you have to go get the clothing with which to cross-dress first. That can be a wonderful growing experience all by itself. Have you ever done that? Bought yourself some article of clothing that is obviously not for the gender you're presenting right now? Well, I think it's time to try that one out even if the thought of doing this has never crossed your mind before. Go on, this is safe.
