Sorry for the length. Only way I could tell the story.
I told my late wife about my Crossdressing after we got engaged. She accepted it, with one proviso. If we had children, they would not be told and I would never dress in front of them. I agreed completely, and we had a very happy 49 plus together. We even went out together as two girls, with her doing my wig and makeup.
After she passed away 3 years ago, I stopped dressing for a while. But as most of you know, the urge comes back!
My feminine wardrobe is much larger then my male wardrobe, and when I started working out at the YMCA this year I was wearing some rather feminine workout outfits. Not blatantly feminine, but still feminine. This in spite of the fact that my daughter was working out with me. She did give me some funny looks, but never said anything until today.
Today I was wearing brown cropped pants with a pink and white stripe down each leg. My tee shirt was tight fitting, white with pink trim on the neckline and shirt sleeves. On the way to the car after our workout she commented that my outfit was kind of "girly." Well, duuuuh!! I just replied that I knew it was. When we were in the car, I just turned to her and said, "I am not gay, but I am now and have been for a long time a crossdresser." She said "why," and I told her because I like the fit, feel, and look of feminine clothes. She just said, "Oh." So I asked her if she still loved me knowing that. She leaned over, kissed me and said, "of course I still love you, Your my Dad!" I almost cried, which would have been too girly!!
She did warn me about wearing things that were too "girly." especially when my son was around. I haven't told him, and don't think she will either. He is married, and his wife would have a million questions! Most of which would not be her business! Anyway, I am glad I told my daughter and hopefully it will not affect our relationship at all.
