I’m very masculine and love football – but I’m desperate to dress up as a woman
DEAR DEIDRE: EVER since I was a young boy I’ve had the urge to dress as a woman.
Instead, I’m a 50-year-old straight male.
Every time I pass a dress in a store, I wonder how I’d look in it.
I love high heels and I am desperate to wear make-up.
I’d love to be in a relationship with a woman who would let me explore these feelings and maybe even help me buy outfits but I’m worried these urges mean I could be gay.
I’ve never been attracted to men but I’m not sure what could be causing me to feel this way.

I love football and going to the gym.
