I know a cross-dressing heterosexual man and have discussed details with him. While he had electrolysis to remove facial hair, his sexuality focuses on women. And he dresses as a male most of the time but also likes to dress as a woman and join a conversation group where all the others are women. Now I'm writing a book on suicide and will include Mike's story.
