Haven't I come a long way from stuffing newspaper into my mother's brassier and preening sneakily in front of the mirror."Dreaming of taking them off?", winked the shop-assistant when she caught me fingering the wisps of satin and lace that one time my sister took me lingerie shopping.
I shook my head. Even then, I never dreamt of taking bras off, only of putting them on.
It has been a long journey. Of realising I was a woman trapped in a man's body. Of accepting it.
My first bra. My favourite bra. Tonight someone special will take it off.
