With my wife's encouragement, I recently opened up to our best friends about my CDing. We had previously established that they were very open to various lifestyles, so there was little risk, but I was still quite nervous. Prior to that I had only shared this side of me with my wife and our CD support group in Indianapolis (IXE). It went quite well, and they immediately indicated that they wanted to see 'Miriam' for themselves.
We spend most Friday evenings together, so last Friday we just changed the mix a bit. I got fully dressed and made up in my feminine presentation, and we drove to their home. They said they were surprised by my appearance, but only because they hadn't expected me to look as good as I did. They used words like 'lovely', which made me feel great.
We went to one of their favorite places for dinner, and then visited their son's family, including a new baby, who lived next door. They knew nothing about me, and I was simply introduced as Miriam. Even in this cozy setting I felt quite welcome.
We then returned to their home and had a wonderful time as usual. The whole evening featured a mix of talk about normal topics and my CDing. It all felt so normal that I sometimes forgot how I was dressed. Through it all I felt so comfortable just being me, a guy in femme appearance with certain feminine influences.
While I now have a wonderful pair of people with whom I can share this side, what's even more important is that my wife now has people she knows and respects with whom she can share and discuss this craziness. I look forward to this enhancement to our our relationship in coming months.
