Pretty TGirls Magazine - February 2007 page 3 An Interview With Rebecca Waters Question: When did you first start crossdressing? Rebecca: Like many young boys, I was dressed up by my older sister, just as a supposedly innocent fun thing. I was 5 at the time, and she dressed me up in her ballerina outfit and got me to learn some dance routines of hers and perform them. It was purely fun and innocent at the time, and she even gave me some make-up and showed me how to pretend to be a girl with it on my own, and I went along with that as if it were just any other childhood game. When my brother found out about it, he strongly disapproved, so I stopped. But later on, once left to my own devices, I started secretly sneaking into my sisters’ and mother’s make-up and clothes again. Question: Describe your early experiences dressing as a girl. Rebecca: In many ways, it was completely non-sexual at the time, though in hindsight, I see it differently. I knew nothing about sex that early on in life, but there’s something fundamentally sexual about human beings that many people don’t realize. The real thrill of it at that young of an age was the fact that it was forbidden, that I wasn’t supposed to be doing it and was managing to get away with it. Little boys (or girls, for that matter) do that stuff all the time, and this was just my particular manner of misbehaving. As I got older and started developing sexually in early adolescence, it became more of an actual turn-on, emulating the young girls around me who were also just beginning to develop their identities. I secretly tried to be like them (in fact, sometimes this was to make up for not being able to get together with them, as I wasn’t particularly successful in the dating realm during my early teens), but I kept all of that to myself and was very secretive about it. Pretty TGirls Magazine - February 2007 page 4 An Interview With Rebecca Waters … continued Question: At what age did you start using make-up and wearing wigs? How did you learn how to apply make up? Any tips for other TGirls? Brand of make up you use? Rebecca: My very early experiments with my sisters’ and mother’s make-up during the single-digit years were mostly embarrassing and amateur, and I was caught a few times and punished for doing something supposedly so wrong. However, I was blessed with having two very attractive older sisters who prettied themselves up in the bathroom all the time (during their high school years), so I silently observed and absorbed what they were doing. In private, I did what they did and slowly learned how to make myself beautiful, too. I would occasionally sneak away their clothes and put them on along with make-up, and I loved how I looked. (Being petite like them certainly helped.) Years later (late teen-age years), I started buying my own dresses, make-up, and such, and I loved being a girl to the point that I had to go out driving to places out of town just to be seen. I’m not really a good source of advice or tips for other T-girls, though. All I can say is pay attention to what other women are doing around you. Buying women’s fashion magazines can be a help, but be warned that the majority of those are just there to advertise products and convince you (and all women) that you’re not attractive enough and must buy more stuff in order to be so. And I’d definitely say that if you’re looking to pass as a woman, go for a scaled back, simple look, not an over-the-top too-much-make- up and fancy dress kind of thing. The point is to blend in, not stand out. Again, pay attention to what other women (G-girls) do. Pretty TGirls Magazine - February 2007 page 5 An Interview With Rebecca Waters … continued Question: If you had your choice, what do like wearing the most when being a girl? Rebecca: That’s an easy one: black pantyhose. I absolutely love the way that looks on a woman’s legs and have since I was about 12 or 13 and saw this commercial on TV in which a gorgeous woman is getting ready for a date with her boyfriend and puts on all of her make-up, clothes, and everything, and the guy (driving the car the commercial is advertising, of course) picks her up and she gets so damn pretty and dressed up for him. That commercial defined a lot of my sexual identity, I’ll freely admit. Little black dress, black pantyhose, black high heels, long brown hair, perfectly made-up face: that’s the way to be. Pretty TGirls Magazine - February 2007 page 6 An Interview With Rebecca Waters … continued Question: Now a bit of personal information ... What is your marital status? A sensitive area for some girls, but ... how old are you now? Does anyone know you are a TGirl? What country do you live in? Rebecca: Single. I haven’t yet managed to land a “life partner,” male or female, who is okay with me. I’ve dated a lot, but nothing has every worked out long-term. For the most part, I’m still looking for that perfect woman, that is, some probably impossible imaginary woman who is okay with all of my trans fantasies and past and who would like for me to be Rebecca with her from time to time. Maybe I don’t even really want that, but I imagine it sometimes. Although I’ve never voluntarily told a girlfriend that I’m trans, there was one many years ago who figured it out and asked me, so I told her the truth. Things didn’t work out with us, either. Oh, and I’m in my early 30s and live in the southeastern US. Pretty TGirls Magazine - February 2007 page 7 An Interview With Rebecca Waters … continued Question: Have you ever gone out as a girl? If so, tell us what the first time is like and how you feel being out in the world as a girl. Rebecca: I first went out when I was a junior in high school, and I just drove around feeling nervous most of the time. As I got older and more experienced (including learning to look more passable), I went out more often and learned to enjoy it more and have fun. I would interact with people at gas stations, fast food restaurants, malls, etc., some of whom probably “read” me and some who I know had no idea that I was anything other than a pretty young woman. I found that I was more nervous being seen by other women than anything else, afraid that they definitely could “spot” me. Men, on the other hand, particularly older ones, tended to like me, and it’s always fun watching them fall all over themselves while at the same time trying to play it cool. Seeing how they acted towards me as a woman gave me some insight on how I should or should not act towards women in my “guy life.” Question: Have you ever gone through a purge of your female clothing? If so, can you tell us why? How did it make you feel? How long before you went back to being a girl? Rebecca: No, not really. When I was in my teens, I would feel guilty after dressing up and not do it again for months, but I’d always go back to it. I liked to imagine that there was some irresistible supernatural force making me do it, which I think is a pretty common fantasy for trans-people. (Since I was a child, my favorite moments in movies and TV shows have always been when the good guy gets taken over by something and forced to do things they normally wouldn’t.) But no, it was all me, and I came to accept that by the time I reached my 20s. Pretty TGirls Magazine - February 2007 page 8 An Interview With Rebecca Waters … continued Question: What percentage of time do you spend as a girl? Rebecca: Less and less the older I get, unfortunately.

UTTERLY CONFUSED CATEGORIES: GENDER NON-CONFORMITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN WESTERN EUROPE by Marissa Crannell A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2015 ABSTRACT UTTERLY CONFUSED CATEGORIES: GENDER NON-CONFORMITY IN LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN WESTERN EUROPE by Marissa Crannell The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2015 Under the Supervision of Professor Merry Wiesner-Hanks This thesis argues that gender non-conforming individuals in the late medieval and early modern periods were influenced by cultural examples of “deviant” gender behavior including cross-dressers, religious figures, women with male characteristics, literature, and popular entertainment. The thesis also argues that the fragmented approach historians have previously taken when examining the lives of gender non-conforming individuals has been inadequate and could be improved by envisioning the individuals not as individual anomalies or aberrations, but as participants in a long cultural tradition of gender non-conformity and transgression throughout western Europe.
