Other than people in the cd/tg world that you may know, how many people in your life know you crossdress and what was their reaction when they found out?

I have lost count. Maybe 30-40 people know now. I haven't gotten a single negative response. Though, I will say, that everyone I have told were people that I trusted and sort of expected to support me. By doing this, I have built a safety net, or support network. There are a few hurdles I still need to cross though. For example, I have not told my Dad or Brother. I don't expect them to react with love and support considering they way they treat me/think of me as is, much less as a CDer. It's scary to think about and maybe I need to finally have a negative reaction so I can learn to cope. I am very lucky to have encountered as much support as I have.

Aside from those here on this site and the ones that have seen my page, no one. In person and a long way away from town, I'm going to say about 20 or so. No one in the family or local friends though. I'm out and about but still in the closet. Does that make sense?
Renne.....
However many members there are here.
Before Christmas may be 4 or 5. At Christmas I come out in church so add 40 or so there. then today on Facebook I come completely out. I have not any negative responses that I know of, some won't express their opinion or will cease to be my friend. since I did come completely and not hiding in the closet but going to the mall I feel like a weight has been lifted off me and I am free to be whomever I am that day.
wow, that must be a really great feeling!Originally Posted by JackieMilton

My wife and everyone here for sure....maybe my neighbour across the back yard. She saw Tylia leave the house one day and she did a double take.
My wife, her therapist, a psychiatrist from many years ago, maybe my daughter, two divorce attorneys, the tweener (girlfriend between marriages), the ex and whoever she blabbed to.

I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!
For me it's a zero, I'm not sure if I want to reveal it to friends or family.
For me only one... I don't know that I am ready to fully open up to the world yet. I wish it was more but it isn't.
I just want to add that a picture of me en femme from halloween found it's way to my facebook page, so really anyone I have friended and friends of friends have potentially seen me en femme. Obviously, some will have just passed it off as a halloween get-up, but it was taken pretty far, so some might wonder about things. I posted it actually to test the waters and gauge reactions of people in my network if I were to completely come out of the closet. I didn't get any negative responses. I've also been slowly adding CD/TG/femme related interests and liking pages. Maybe if I just slowly meld into this publicly, nobody will ever bat an eyelash.

All my close friends, mother, wife, daughters, sisters, ... aunts ... etc., neighbors, shopping click (all women) and I'm sure their husbands, and the list goes on. Oh, police since I know personally several of them as friends, fire and some city staffers. I guess I'm out if you include all the SAs I come in contact with. Before we purchased here about the same people at the previous half dozen locations. Then there are all the locations where I worked.
I've been out or caught so many times that I've lost count. A few hundred is a good guess.
If I had to count I would say 6, but only my wife prob knows Im an active CD and of course she wishes I wasn't
Counting family and friends......three people, a friend of mine from my old job, my wife, and another friend of mine that moved to Florida. Though I think some family members suspect that there is something up with me. I try not to hide it to hard after all.
I guess to answer my own question, its 12 for me in the non cd/tg world and nobody has had a problem with it (at least that they have told me)
My wife. Just about all my friends. Everyone who works at my second job. Everyone who's been by my second job for about a year... I guess I'm pretty much out of the wardrobe to everyone buy my parents and extended family.
Melissa,
This is a good question.
My initial thought was... only one person knows, my wife, who had a really hostile reaction. Which has led to our dadt relationship concerning this.
As I thought more about it, it gets "iffy".
My siblings saw me dressed as young teenagers but probably believe that it stopped back then (40+ years ago). Just a "kids foolin' around" thing.
I think my Mom could guess but does not know for sure+.
Then I also remembered Brenda, a gg friend who I met at a drag show. She took me under her wing & helped me with makeup, took me out to buy the right shades, taught me how to apply it, helped me pick out clothes & shoes, showed me how they should fit.... Unfortunately she moved away after a couple months together. I wouldn't call her part of the CD/TG world but she is definitely a supporter.
Strangers I meet when I'm out clock me, but then again, they are not really in my life..
Everyone else who knows is a CDer.
Hugs, Connie Marie
Only my doctor and my therapist
I think about 4 or 5 people I have trusted with knowing.
Tab
7 billion...
That's what I was thinking hehe
A cpl dozen,mainly due to co-workers finding out by accident rather than design,my wife and stepsons,her parents,and two of her siblings.some of my family knew of it in the past but are unaware of the extent of it now.a cpl colleagues aside (sneaky,behind my back ones) everyone's Been supportive.

A few associates from shopping without having to tell them. The other one but from Walgreens, even though it wasn't about clothes, just more in the womens section for beauty products. She found it interesting to where she was very helpful to where her aim was to show that there was no shame in having a feminine side.
