I know how you feel. I fought the urges for 20+ years and now I embrace the fact that I CD. I am more tolerant of myself and I have found that I am now more tolerant and accepting of others. Maybe...

I'm thinking the same thing as Stephanie, your wife loves you! Enjoy the time. I'd also agree with others that you should then buy her some flowers. Maybe not even bring up the dressing part. She...

My mom knows because I'd take a few things and try to hide them. They'd always go back to her dresser, but she'd never bring it up. At a young age, my grandparents knew and encouraged me though.

I've worn hosiery to work several times, usually in the winter. Makes a pleasant second layer.

Count me in the "attracted to females only" camp. Wearing the clothes is one thing and physical attraction is completely something else for me.

Your girlfriend is a keeper and a true friend.

Kathi and others have it right when they say talk it out. "You don't want to go there" is almost a "bring it on" to me. Maybe I'm a bit more open to discussion than others? One of my wife's rules...

I have a V6 Mustang. Been told that V6 Stangs are girl's cars.
I'm keeping it, and I'm not changing either. :)

If my wife was uncomfortable with it, I would not meet another CD. As others have said, her friendship and trust are far more important to me. We have a very good relationship and I wouldn't...

I'm happy that you didn't think crossdressers were in the category of rapists and murderers!!! You seem to be very open-minded, and that is a rare quality.
Welcome!

As with any other group, they tend to get stereotyped too. In all honesty, some girls can be very accepting, tolerant and enlightened while some others can be cruel and small-minded.
It's like...

She is asking you because she wants to know. At some point, the truth is the best. That day for me worked out easier that I'd ever imagined. Maybe a revelation of the truth could work out in your...

The statement you cited here was the one that stood out the most for me. It's a vehicle for masturbation. For many of us, it is not. Like some of you mentioned in old posts, it's an escape or a...

I love pork and shellfish. I also wear mixed fabric drab clothing. Nope, I don't have tassels sewn in the four corners of my garment. Hmmmmm.

The older you get, the less you care about what others think. In high school, we were trying hard to "fit in". Not now!!

Not to mention, that she didn't even make a point or arguement.

Mish,

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's great that your wife has accepted your "hobby". Take things slow as many others have said. Don't let her think that you are obsessed to the point...

Exactly. What will harm you is throwing out perfectly good clothing and then having to buy it all back. It harms your bank account.

I agree with Nicole, the internet has made a tremendous difference in having others share their experiences and showing support of others. When I was growing up, I thought that I was a total freak...

No problems here! Happy to hear that you have accepted who you are, and, who we are. Isn't acceptance great??!!

I don't hurt....anymore. I do hurt for the people that do not understand us, and because of the misunderstanding, may despise us. That is sad. Tears for Fears had a song "People are People". I'm...

As I stated in another post, we all have means of escape: watching a movie, reading the paper, walking through the neighborhood, catching up with old friends. When I get dressed, i suppose it's also...

That movie was a serious set-back to me in those days. The movie was before internet days.

Let's take this a step further, how many people like to read a good book and have a nice cup of coffee while reading? Isn't this also an escape? Browse the internet, watch a show on television,...

Same here. Plus, I'm hoping that if they put me in a home, there will be some federal law protecting all of us against discrimination.
