▶ Femme name: Jana
▶ Location: London, UK
▶ How long have you been cross-dressing: As far as I can remember, I started in my 20s. There have been long breaks along the way, but somehow I always find my way back—and each time, it becomes a little more frequent.
▶ What’s your favorite thing about dressing up: That’s such a hard question—there’s so much I love! From the incredible variety of clothes to the beauty of jewellery, it’s amazing how everything comes together to create something special. What I love most is feeling like I can be part of that beauty and truly express myself.
▶ Things you can’t dress up without: Definitely jewellery—I especially love silver. It’s shiny, elegant, and suits my skin tone perfectly. And of course, comfortable, beautiful underwear is a must.
▶ Reasons you like to cross-dress: For me, it’s simple. I’ve always felt that my inner self leans more toward the feminine side, and I’ve always admired women. Dressing up allows me to be myself—it gives me a sense of freedom and happiness that’s hard to describe.
▶ Things you like to do after getting dressed: Haha, probably like many girls—taking nice photos! But I also just enjoy relaxing and embracing the moment.
▶ Your favorite outfits/style: I have two styles I really love. One is elegant and feminine dresses, and the other is wearing corsets—I absolutely adore them.
▶ Where do you buy your clothes/makeup/shoes from: At the moment, I mostly shop on Amazon and Shein, but I also really like brands like Guess and Mango.
▶ How long does it take you to do your make-up and get ready: It depends on the day, but usually anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour.
▶ What are the challenges you have faced as a crossdresser: The biggest challenge is definitely society. I’m still building the confidence to go out in public, but I hope that one day it will feel as natural as being at home—especially with the support of such a kind and understanding community.
