As I have said in my introduction, aside from an ex-girlfriend, no one knows about my crossdressing. Having struggled with a lot of things over the years, seeing therapist has helped me become more comfortable with who I am and no longer want to hide and feel ashamed.
That's not to say I want to out myself to everyone I know, definitely not to my parents and family. It's just that I want to confide in a close friend of mine (a girl) who I believe would be accepting because of the kind of personal things we talk about and know about each other. The reason I would like to tell her is to share a part of me that has been pushed back and want to take responsibility for.
Still, I would like to turn to those of you who have talked about this part of yourselves to your friends. Is this reason enough? What compelled you to tell your friends in the first place? Were there any traits you were looking for in particular? Thanks!
