Couple of quick quesions if you don't mind

[AnnaMarie]

I'm just curious ladies after lots of reading on here:
What age group are you?
30 or under
30 - 40
40 - 50
over 50

and if you are married are you out to your SO?

Myself - in my early 40's and not out to my wife :(

[Danica F]

30-40. I am married and was out to her before we were married.

[Sandie70]

I'm way over 50, all on my own and fancy free (no SO to be out to). But with the legs of a 30 YO, the mind of a 40 YO and the wisdom of a teenager (in other words... I never grew up completely) I don't know if any SO could handle me (lol).

[Maxie]

43 and out to my wife

[Robyn-aus]

50 and out to my wife and daughter[20]

[Donnagirl]

48 and out to my wife.

[Jazzy Jaz]

30, out to my gf.

[Jane G]

Hi there I'm in my fifties now. My wife uncovered my crossdressing in our early 20's. Probably should have told her before we were married, but we got through the her finding out stage a long time ago.

[Teresa]

AnnaMarie,
Don't be frightened to add 60 + life doesn't end there, in fact some members are just contemplating transition !
I'm 64 and have been married for 41 years, the traumatic coming out to my wife happened twenty years ago ! The rest of my family now know .
I really don't feel my age, Cding is as enjoyable now as it ever was, in fact it's possibly better because I now fully accept it as part of me , no shame or guilt . I'm wired like it and nothing is going to change it .

[JenX]

43, no S/O, closeted

[alwayshave]

Mid 50's, live with fiancee and out to her.

[CostaRicaRachel]

57 single. 3 of my friends know.

One is a girl I once dated knows. She didn't know it when we were dating.
The last time I spoke with her, the subject came up (Caitlyn) She said she sill can't
believe it. She doesn't care, we're still friends, but I don't think she would ever
date me again.

[Karen RHT]

I turned 68 (just a number) today, and happily married for over 40 years. Wife knows and is supportive, but has limits. She's not comfortable with the idea of me going out into the real world while dressed. I'm attempting to raise her comfort level with that.

[AnnaMarie]

Interesting - thanks for everyone who's posted. I expected the majority of ladies on here would have said they are out and happy and I suspect more because where it didn't go well when they told their SO they may not be on this forum anymore for many various reasons. I'm a little surprised that there aren't many younger members here though.

[jeanieinabottle]

Nearly 65 and have had this special part of me for as long as I can remember but for most of my life kept it a secret. Did not come out to my wife whom I adore until I came to like and accept myself a number of years ago. Now things are just hunky-dory. My wife now understands and believes in me. She has actually borrowed a dress or two on occasion. Also she now never runs out of panty hose. And when she needs her roots done or her hair streaked, she knows I'm always there. She knows the benefits. Lucky both of us.

[Billie Jean]

Over 50 and currently divorced. I was out to my ex and my daughter's have seen me dressed. Billie Jean

[kayegirl]

Over 50 and definitely out to my SO, and a lot of other people besides.

[Hilde_Morales]

I am 36, out to my GF (she was so vocal about her groovy attitudes to gender-fluidity that I showed her a pic of me dressed on our third date) and a handful of people as my confidence grows (none of my family, so far).

[delwyn]

Sixty-three and married. My wife knows but does not participate-yet.

[Ms Jennifer]

Over 50 and never even been with a woman

[sometimes_miss]

>50. Wife discovered my crossdressing >10 years ago, I had left out an article of women's clothing. It was either: Tell her I was a crossdresser, or let her continue to believe that I was having an affair. In retrospect, I should have gone with the latter. Seems most women will tolerate one episode of infidelity better than the idea that their husband is a sissy. Having no positive outcomes to telling relatives and friends about my crossdressing, I no longer tell anyone. Or ever plan to.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Anna Marie, I'm 72.5yrs. old and Married 51.5yrs.
My:love:wife has known sense we got married over the years she's been off and on
with my dressing, Right now it's a DA/DT kind of thing she knows that I dress every night
but just don't want to see me while I'm dressed, She knows about everything.:daydreaming:

[aussie cd]

51 and out to my 2nd wife of 13 years for 12 of them - 1st didn't know

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

60 yrs old and out to my wife of 31 yrs since 2011

[cd_dominique]

[Diane Smith]

Over 50, and never married (but came close a couple of times). I have been out to two SOs in the past. One took it fairly well within limits, and the other ... didn't.

- Diane

[Taylor186]

I'm over 50 and also out to my wife.

[DaphneMiller]

Early 40s, out to my wife. She doesn't want to see me dressed, but she has helped by buying some make up and other little bits and pieces.

[Cara Lacey]

61 years old and out to everyone. My wife is very supportive!

[Debb]

53. Out to my wife about 20 years ago (we've been married 32). I am in early stages of transition now, and she plans to stick by my side. I am so, so fortunate.

[Lacey New]

Over 50, married and in the closet. Wife does not know and neither does anyone else except some SA's might suspect and one SA in a Dress Barn sold a dress to a guy who paid cash.

[Georgia Rose]

66 - started about 7 years ago when my wife was away caring for family for some months. Outed to her a few days after she got back. She is accepting but loves the fact that she can now discuss clothes with me and really takes notice of my opinions.

[Tina B.]

Two decades past that, over 50 mark, I've been out to the wife almost that long.
She is very supportive, and loves to shop for Tina, I've been dressing around her, for around 40 years, I told her about it five years into the marriage when the urge to dress came back after a long absents, and yes I told her before I started to dress again.
In fact, she took me out and bought me everything I needed to start the day I told her about my need to dress and how it was effecting me, trying hard not to dress. I'm still in the closet, but it's a very nice closet, with a nice yard, all available to me when ever the mood strikes.
And what with birthdays, Christmas, anniversary's, and just her love of surprising me with a new article of women's clothing from time to time, has me with a much larger wardrobe that a closet dresser really needs, but the lady knows how to keep me a very happy old lady.

[CarlaWestin]

Closing in on 60. Feel and look more like 30-40. Out to the wife who evidently enjoys being old and hating it.
Staying healthy and having the time of my life.

[desertrider]

38. Out with the SO. Sort of out in general, in the front yard, around town some, but I'm not up for the month of ribbing I'd probably get about it at work (nor from my brother for that matter). They're great people, bro too, would accept it I'm sure, but I have no need to go there right now. SO is generally supportive but not actively interseted. She's gone out with me a couple of times, but it makes her really uncomfortable; she doesn't like to stick out, so I'm impressed she tries...I'm sure a few of my more experimental guy outfits are really not her cup of tea either (of course, she started out a total preppy dresser; one of the few arenas we come at over a divide - Summer does not do lace or frills, no matter her place on the gender spectrum at that moment =)

[nancy walters]

Age : 46

Common-law wife knows everything . She bounces between DA/DT and buying me clothes at the thrift shops . She's more into it during the winter , when I'm fully shaved.

I've pretty well told all the SO's since High School about my "hobby" . Only ever got outed by one - and she was the little tramp who cheated , ripped me off and is on her 4th husband by 40 years old.

[RachelB.]

Over fifty and out to my wife.

[Janet Bern]

[reb.femme]

Hi AnnaMarie,

I get really uptight with questions relating to or being categorized by my age. Only because it tells the world I'm 55....Damn, given the game away now! :heehee: Yep, I'm in with the oldies, but I like to think of it as being a more mature member of the population. At least I got here, many don't, so I count my blessings.

[donnaS]

45. My SO knew about two months into the marriage. My ex knew it all (ended from her drug abuse) she threatened to tell everybody. I had to be prepared to own it. Told my wife and explained she threw away my fem clothes, not the ex's as she thought. We still laugh about that. My wife is so supportive, very lucky to have her!

[Jessica5536]

33 married.
My wife doesn't know.
I'm just starting to come to grips with this myself and want to know what I think about it before sharing with someone else.
Even if I was ready to share, I don't really know anyone that I would feel comfortable speaking to about it.

[Angela Marie]

I'm 61. I told my wife on our second date about 8 years ago. She does not go out with me but is very supportive.

[Nancie64]

Pushing hard on the 70 mark, but oh well. My SO of 12years has known since before we were married. My sister in law found out by accident when we we out in Vegas maybe 8 years ago or so. Dressed for Haloween and she thought I was all to comfortable and she started asking questions. She loves that she knows and even finds an outfit now and then for Nancie. My ex also knows since I was dressing before we got married. :hugs:

[Wandacdmn]

I'm in my 50's, married for 30 years. There was a rather wild time for us in which I told her I liked dressing and I used her clothes. She was ok with that but didn't want to see. One time she whispered a fantasy of dressing me. But things have changed and now she thinks it's a threat to her and when I recently mentioned how fun a maid costume could be, she insisted I get therapy. So now I don't bring it up anymore.

Hi AnnaMarie,

60+ out to my girlfriend. Good support from her and sometimes I feel so girly.

Take Care.

First wife freaked about my dressing.
I’m now over 50 and married to a women who calls the shots, in other words she lays-out what she wants my to wear and I wear it.
I told her on our first date that I liked to dress, so she had me over to her apartment that Saturday morning where I dressed in the bathroom.
The first thing she said to me when I walked out was “Let me help you with your makeup”.
When we go out to the mall or to eat she’s the one that does the ordering.
She’s been at the point where she’ll pick-out the outfit, do my makeup and then one of her friends will “drop by”.
She says her friends envy her.
It’s been a trip but the most important part of the whole equation is that your Significant Other has to be behind you and support your dressing 100%.

51 and out to my girlfriend, though she hasn't seen me dressed yet save for one photo taken of me at a recent Trans Pride march. She's supportive in theory (and has even given me a few items of clothing) but she's a bit uneasy with it in practice. We don't live together at the moment and I'm not sure, if we did, that she'd be accepting of me dressing regularly while at home.

40 to 50.

My wife knows, but is not supportive. Strictly DADT.
