Have you ever noticed quite how weird Gardner Street in the West End of Glasgow is? It's completely flat for about two-thirds of its length, and then it suddently shoots up at an unrelenting 40 degree angle. This is because it's built on a glacial feature called a drumlin. Drumlins are low rounded hills left behind by a retreating glacier, and Glasgow is built on a whole swarm of them, some more than 60 metres (200 feet) in height, left behind after the last ice age. However, not all Glasgow hills are drumlins. For example, the hill the necropolis is built on isn't a drumlin. Instead is the remains of an extinct volcano, but it too has been sculpted by glacial action, with the ice whittling away the outer rock, leaving just the central plug of solidified magma sticking into the air. So next time you are slogging up one of the city's many hills, just remember you're climbing part of an ancient glacial landscape. It won't make it any easier, but it might just distract you from your efforts for a few minutes!
Tabea from Zurich, Switzerland. Has been cross-dressing for 25 years, I started to learn my makeup routine 10 years ago. During the first years it was all about exploring feminine clothes. After some years I started to work on my makeup skills and finally found time to get dolled up in female mode on a regular base. During the last couple of years, I had some amazing experiences to do some professional photo-shoots in different places.
In addition, I had some outdoor adventures too, like meeting like minded cross-dressers to share some thoughts about our special world. I love the amazing selection of clothes and the endless possibilities to style. For me its all about to get into a completely different role compared to my usual male life. My goal is to become an authentically woman as much as possible when i get myself ready for a makeover. I really love the elegant and classy looks, especially the more exceptional outfits, like ball gowns or bridal gowns.
Bambi: When I was growing up I always half-wanted to be a girl. I liked boy things but I also hung out with the cool girls and was always instant best friends with every tomboy I met. Sometimes people would mistake me for a girl, and it always used to make me so mad because I also half-wanted to be manly, like Indiana Jones or Rambo (as if, haha).I’ve always worn girls clothes my whole life but always as a shameful secret so I’m really grateful for today’s era of trans acceptance where I can share my looks and lame jokes with people who don’t think it’s weird lol. Also one time at school my teacher got mad at me because I “walk around like I own the place”, which basically sums me up pretty well, except he said it like it was a bad thing.

Kayla Natsuky from Italy: I have been cross-dressing for 5 years, even though I had my first experiences already at 16 years with my mother’s clothes. Dressing up is the thing that gives me the most pleasure, it makes me feel good and the first times I saw myself as a female I got a crazy joy. I really like femininity and wearing women clothes, make up and becoming feminine gives me a sense of charm!
Josie Beezy: From California has been cross-dressing privately since I was about 10 years old, publicly since May 2022. I have always been interested in feminine beauty and fashion since I can remember. But there has been a lot of shame to process and overcome due to social expectations. I went through many purge cycles to try to be “normal.” But the more I have accepted this part of me, the happier I have become. I love anything and everything feminine! I dress to express the inner woman and my feminine side. I love going out and enjoying the night life!! I still get nervous because I am tall and stand out in heels. But I enjoy showing off my outfits, meeting new people, and having a good time. Being tall has its perks, long legs! My favorite outfits compliment this with short skirts and short dresses. But my favorite accessory and part of dressing up would be my nails! I love to look down at my hands and see long girly nails.
