Seth, a cross-dresser

You don't really remember how your interest in wearing girls' clothes started, but once you moved into your own place after college, you found that having the money and privacy to indulge in that interest was a dangerous combination.

In actual fact, it wasn't that much of a problem--you usually wore panties when home alone, and sometimes tried your hand at makeup and wearing a dress or a skirt. You had a little thumb drive with photos of these experiments tucked safely under the bed, and that was about it.

Well, almost.

Every month or so you would get the urge to add to your collection. Of course, online shopping was safe and easy, but sometimes you would "treat" yourself to a real life shopping expedition at a big store where you could mostly blend in.

Today was one of those days. In addition to the usual underwear, you had also found an adorable little sundress and, in a fit of daring, taken it to a fitting room to try.

Perfect: you kept your legs shaved with the excuse of being a swimmer, and the dress showed them off very nicely in the dressing room mirror.

You were just trying one last twirl before heading to the self-checkout when, to your horror, the door of the changing room popped open.

A very elegant young woman poked her head in. Under other circumstances, you might have though her too well dressed to work at a shop like this, but your mind is on other matters.

"Oh my, it does suit you, doesn't it?" she asks. To your surprise, her tone is cheerful and completely lacking in judgement.

You stammer something incomprehensible.

"I just wanted to give you this--you might find it, well, interesting. Maybe I'll see you around, too."

With which cryptic comment, she hands you a small printed card and disappears.

You remain in the dressing room for several more minutes, trying to process the strange event. The card has an odd, embossed badge with an old-style scale, a lock and a key resting on the pans of the scale. Otherwise, it has only a web address and a 16 digit code.

Later at home, you try on a few of your purchases and decide to at least have a look at the site.

"Welcome to AG. Please input your code."

With the code in place, you find yourself in an odd site. There is a gallery of other cross-dressers, some of whom have quite obviously gone rather further, with noticeable breasts and probably some tweaks to their faces as well.

There is also a shop with a wide range of rather nice clothes, ranging from the classy to the slutty. There are numbers that are apparently prices that range from 0.25 for a simple pair of panties up to hundreds for the most elaborate gowns. In the shop page, you notice a small golden coin icon in the banner.

Clicking on it, you see:

Your balance is 10 Gilt.

Click here to create a profile for redeeming or earning gilt.

When your profile is complete, you click on the "Earn gilt" link.

Upload a photo. Dressed: 1 gilt. Nude: 2 gilt.

Without thinking about it too much, you drop in a selfie with the new dress, face obscured. Immediately, your balance increases to 11 gilt.
