I messed up. I accidentally outed myself to my 18 year old daughter yesterday. She said she was going to spend the night at her Mom's house, like she does every Sunday night. Long story short, she didn't leave. She took a nap in her room. She briefly saw me. I changed back to drab. I talked to her. At first she didn't believe me. She thought I was hiding a girlfriend in my bedroom. After a few minutes, she did get it. She didn't freak out at all. I told her I messed up, I didn't intend to involve her in this right now and that she should feel free to ask me anything she wants. The first question of course was am I gay. I said no. She asked if I was like Caitlyn Jenner. I said kind of, but not the same as that. I am not uncomfortable being male. It was a 10-minute conversation, then she was out the door to go to her Mom's. My daughter and I are having dinner together tonight.
Anyway, my question for you all is:
Can you recommend a website or short description of what crossdressing is that would be appropriate to give to my 18-yr old daughter to help her understand what is going on with her Dad? I know there are many, I'm just looking for something short and simple. If any of you have experienced anything similar and want to offer advice, that would be great.
My general situation is that I do not want to be out to people who would only be bothered by it (rightly or wrongly that is the category I had my daughter in) and I do not want to undermine my career. I have dependents.
Thanks,
Allison
