[charlene#2]

i was out with my girlfriend one night we had had a few drinks and had been parked and talking,also a little necking(i was about19 she was about17).the talk got around to clothes and i started to try to tell her but it just wouldnt come out.she finally said will you please just tell me what you want to say.so i reached under the front seat pulled out a pair of panties and asked her if she knew what they were ,how stupid was i she wore them all the time.she said yes they are panties,i said they were mine.it took a few minutes for it to sink in but she said what do you mean, isaid they are mine i wear them now what do you think?she thought for a minute and said so what there only clothes.i wore panties around her after that until we broke up and it never seemed to bother her,ive seen her since and she always treated great so i guess it never did bother her

My Mom caught me a number of times when I was young, but my wife was the first to know.

[ColleenW]

That's easy, my wife.

[DAVIDA]

I told Jean the night that I proposed. It was the hardest thing that I had ever done, but I thought that she had to know. I had to give her the choice whether or not to get into this. That was over 19 years ago.:D

[Sylvermane]

for the longest time i played online games i.e. world of warcraft type :o . lovely young lady who i had gotten to know relatively well could tell something was bugging me... yay voice chat. she poked and prodded, i finally gave in and spilled my story. the relative anonymity definitely helped. she was very helpful and supportive, kinda my own anonymous therapist. she is also the reason i finally started searching and ended up at this site.

The first person I told was a nurse I was dating as it would have been difficult otherwise to explain the shaved legs and alternative underwear. She thought it was hot and accepted it quite well, next person was the woman who is now my wife for the past 10 years.

[Nicole Brown]

That's easy, it was my wife, but I didn't volunteer the information.

My wife had gone into my wallet, as she had always done, to get some case. As she removed the bills, a receipt for several items of woman's clothing fell out and of course she examined it. I was immediately asked who the clothing was for as I hadn't given them to her. Rather than have her think I was fooling around, I told her that they were for me and offered to show them to her. She told me that she believed me, but that she didn't want to know anything about it.

It is now over 38 years later and she still doesn't want to know anything about it. Oh well, at least I work for home, and her job has her out of the house 5 days a week, so I get my Nicole time.

[leotard fan]

was one girlfriend i had long time ago. she found female clothes in my home and see think i had other girl. so i explain to her all the truth. and she love it! we use the same clothes, we change the clothes, she show me how to
make-up myself, we went shooping together,... was great!

[markinhose]

caught by my mom and sister a few times each when i started but the first person i actually told was my ex wife. it had nothing to do with the divorce but she didnt want to know anything about it either.

[Jaclyn NM]

My wife is the first and only person I've told, and she's not to crazy about the idea. She knows I dress when she's not around, but doesn't want to see me dressed or deal with it.

[Erica K.]

my last roommate alexis. well, it was more like admitting. I made a comment about probably being able to walk in heels better than her, & she said, "yeah, i saw some heels in your room the other day, whos are those?" I just kinda pointed at myself and said, "crossdresser". She was totally cool with it, which made telling everyone esle so much easier.

[Terraforming]

I told my best friend when I was about 15. She thought it was the coolest thing in the world and demanded that I show her some pictures. Didn't have any at the time though, so I left her a bit disappointed. To this day she's probably the most supportive friend I've got when it comes to this.

[chrissy_crossdresser]

i mentioned it to one of my exs and she was fine with it but i consider the first person i told was my best friend jenna and ever since she has been my strength, she even helped me with my decision to transition

[jennifer3169]

I told my wife i just felt so bad that i was keeping somthing from her so i told her and by the way we are like best friends as well as lovers and well she looked at me for a moment and then she asked lots of questions like why and how long i had been dressing and did i want to stop then she proceeded to tell me how sick i was and that i was going to quit or we would not be married very long this went on for about 2 weeks until finally i said i would quit but i cant i love jennifer too much so i just do it in secret again but now i must be very careful because she looks at close placement and in my hiding places for makeup and wigs so i had to make different ones its sad but thats my story

[SweetCaroline]

I believe it was when I was sixteen. Right before my Confirmation (I was raised Catholic). I told a priest in confession. He was actually pretty nice about and smirked when I told him. I'm not trying to make an religious comment here, but he did suggest the sin was more in hiding things and stealing things.

Tho there were hints here and there throughout my life, I never told another person again until 18 years later, when I told a very trusted GG friend, shortly after coming out on-line.

Now, just about everyone who matters to me knows. It is still difficult to tell people tho...

[Tomara]

My therapist was the first person I told , and she was very supportive and helpful , I didn't know when I started to see her for relationship issues that one of her specialties was with gender issues , I guess it was a good match !

[Marcia Blue]

First person I told was my ex. The only other person I have told is my current, wonderful wife.

[Susan.]

First was my wife, then a therapist, then another therapist and finally a GG at work.

[Aleca]

That would be in 1985, I told a friend of mine who I felt comfortable telling since he was homosexual. He promised to keep it a secret but told several others about me, including my future wife. Since then I have told about 6 other people plus my mom.

[MichelleP]

Aside from getting caught many times, the first person I volunteered my CDer information to was another CDer while I was in drab.

[Paula TV]

I tell everyone online and on forums, really on an impersonal basis. I have no intention of telling family as i know what'll be like, i also have never told people from my work. I have only talked to people about it who have seen me in the gear, and that's not alot.

[RADER]

My Mom caught me a number of times when I was young, but my wife was the first to know.

My mom made dresses for a girl on another street and I was her model and hated it. Later I was caught by my sister wearing a striped dress and she sent one of my friends up to heck me out. I never came out from under that sheet but he could see through

[bobi jean]

A very dear married couple, GOOD friends and supporters of mine back in Hiawatha. kirk and donna S. Thank you guys!!!

[Victoria Anne]

I told my best friend when I was about 9 I think , we have been friends now for 44 years

[clairemarie]

The first person that I told about my cross dressing was a close GG friend that lived two doors down from my house. My then wife and I were good friends with her and her husband and often went out together. One night when at her house (not fooling around) we were talking about life, other serious topics (she was a very interesting person), and listening to music. We were both into Edward Elgar. During a quiet moment I suddenly said to her “there is something I want and need to tell you”. Over the next two hours I told her the history of my cross dressing. I was at a point in my life that I had to tell someone. At that time there was no internet and darn few books on the subject. She was very accepting and wanted to help. She actually allowed me to come over to her home during the day and try on her clothes. I brought my own lingerie. This was a dream come true. Later she talked me into “group counseling” which was extremely helpful. I love this lady and consider her my sister. She has never rejected me and has always been supportive. A few years ago she and her husband moved to Birmingham, Ala. but we still keep in touch. I will never forget her.

Hi Charlene
First and only person in the world to know is my wife - told her just before proposing to her. She's accepting (and loving me) for who I am as a whole but we are taking things very slowly. Not sure where this journey will end up and for her sake (someone else to talk about it to) we may need to tell others in time - but not yet....
