My brother has twice given me an offer to live rent free at his home all year round so I can house sit for 3 months out out of the year. Hes married with 3 kids between 9 and 14 and I get along great with them and usually spend about 3 days a week over at their home. They don't know about me being transgendered but I've been letting my fem side show more since the first of the year. I think his wife is picking up on it and has been suggesting a lot of girly movies I might like.
Now the things that concerns me, they are conseritive christians, like I am, and they also keep their kids rather sheltered. I know they might not have a problem with me dressing but I know they would not want their kids to know now.
Not having to pay rent would be an extremely freeing thing and would allow me to pursue some dreams I couldn't do because I couldn't take lower paying job. It seems I have 3 choices, not take my brother up on his offer and find another roommate that ok with me CDing. Tell my brother about my CDing (I think he already knows I have a lot of fem traits) and let him decide and set ground rules. Or not tell my brother and take up his offer and surpress my CDing.
Now surpressing the CDing I don't think will be hard for me since its mainly the fit, colors and fabrics of the clothes that draws me and I have a lot of clothes from the mens departments that I like (though I'm finding pants from the ladies departments just fit better.) But how things are heading now, either with new roommate or brother, I'm going to have to be a lot more open to my friends and family about my trangerism.
So what is your advice or what option would you choose?
Thanks for all the help ladies.
