    Once a year a Sydney hotel hosts a ‘Seahorse Ball’ for straight men—fathers and husbands—who have always harboured a desire to cross-dress. William Verity was there to make a radio documentary and recalls the privilege of seeing men seeing themselves as beautiful for the first time.

    I was a little disappointed as I was the person interviewed while having my makeup done but I think the interview left people thinking that we all only want to wear women’s clothes. When some of us would give anything to be female 100 percent. But still the interview was tastefully done and if it helps the public to better understand it’s all good

    Julie,

    Methinks you are being a little too over critical. I know that as you said, you and many others would prefer to be female 100% of the time, but taken as a whole, it was a very positive message to the public on behalf of all of us “gender diverse”.

    So well done to all concerned with the program.

    Regards

    Caty

    PS The program made me all “teary eyed and nostalgic” cos I was there last year. Only downside is I did not have Candy to do my makeover….This as a few folk know, rather took the edge off my “night of nights”, as the makeover I had was far from satisfactory. Could have done just as well myself
