I was talking to my neighbour today about the new fence I'm going to put up this year... I've been waiting for a few years for him to take down a tree near the fence so the (proposed) new fence wouldn't get damaged when he took it down. He's been talking for a few years about taking it down, but his money has run tight a few years in a row... and meanwhile my fence has decayed into a high state of disgrace. This year, I'm going to put up a new one, even if I have to pay for removing those trees myself.
Anywho, after my fore-planning of how I was going to talk to the neighbour, I'm afraid I chickened out a bit when it came to explaining why it is going to be a tall "privacy fence" that I put up. He's a fellow that I get along with fine as a neighbour, can trust him to watch the house for a week, that sort of thing -- but somehow we aren't friends. Just not enough known things in common. I had planned to say straight out to him that I wasn't intentionally trying to put distance between us but that I wanted to be able to invite my cross-dressing friends without my neighbour (or someone visiting my neighbour) potentially feeling "yucky, they are at it again" and with my guests feeling comfortable that people weren't peaking in at us... but I ended up explaining it as "some of my friends are rather shy".
This neighbour has potentially several times seen me get into a cab while I am all Dressed, and has seen me in a skirt at least once at the local mall (but it was denim and the jacket was long so he might have missed it.) So maybe he knows and chooses not to mention it, and maybe he doesn't know... but I'd prefer to stay on good terms with him, and I'd rather not risk that his religious beliefs might kick up a barrier even though he knows me well enough to know that I'm a relatively good person.
Just couldn't bring myself to out myself to my neighbour.... even though lots of people in town know, so it's not a secret.
