So. I was inadvertently "discovered" last Saturday.Stilll
a work in progress. Ill let you know.

[iGenny]

By 'discovered' I hope that means you're going to be a movie star. Otherwise, I wish you well and good luck.

O'come on Julia, Don't just leave us hanging here ! -...:daydreaming:...

[docrobbysherry]

U won't BELIEVE what happened today!:brolleyes:

[Robin414]

I'm with Genny, you were having lunch at a 'the' coffee shop in Hollywood ...the one where they 'dicovered' Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Marilyn Monroe right? 😮

Please keep us posted Julia, it might be a good thing. Sure, blood pressure will certainly spike at first but after that it usually drops to a much better level!

Wow now that was a teaser................................

[Mollyanne]

OK, now that you got our attention-------------

I know, you were out and looked beautiful just like your pic and your thigh highs slid down to your ankles and panties down to your knees (the panties had crossdresser on them).

So. I was inadvertently "discovered"
So someone planted a flag in you and claimed you for England?

[Alice Torn]

A work in progress? Caught half dressed?

[Beverley Sims]

You tunneled from Wales under the Irish sea, now the Oirish are going to send you back. :-)

Probably along with Paddy McGintys goat.

[josie_S]

were you dressed as the polio vaccine? penicillin?

[Julia1984]

Sorry for the brevity of the OP.

Levity isn't really appropriate. We had " the talk" on Saturday after the "Why is there a bag of women's clothes in your wardrobe?" question. Thankfully I had been rehearsing the conversation for some time. Though not planning on having it until I had understood rather more about Julia and what she means. Well: that wasn't to be. The bell has rung, the genie is out, along with the cat... We haven't spoken about it since then, despite ( or maybe because of) being on holiday with the children all week. Thats why I used the phrase "work in progress".

I imagine many here will relate to the situation. I just wanted to explain my recent quietness and to emphasise that I am still very much here and alive.

As Lou Reed said, albeit in quite different circumstances, "It's the beginning of a great adventure". Or at least I hope it is.

Hugs

Hi Julia
I hope you are ok and still talking to your SO, I was discovered about 9 months ago and, no not for a movie, it's been up and down since then as we go through a new relationship together, the biggest learn for me was that the burden I had been carrying, being in the closet, for all of those years, was dumped onto my wife and she is struggling to cope with it.
Now my son has also found me out, double wammy, he is a lot more understanding and doesn't mind me dressing whilst he is in the house, so I will be telling my wife, soon, that my son knows and she will have someone to talk to.
The point I am making is be honest and open, but remember the burden you have placed on your SO and she may need to talk about it and you may not be the person she wants to talk to.

Good Luck
Jennie

Hi Julia,
I do wish you well. My day has not yet come. Please let us know how things go. We're all rooting for you!
Hugs,

Hi Julia,

I got caught by my wife, whilst I was dressed in her nightie, so the old, "this isn't quite how it looks" routine wasn't going to cut it :sad:. I know that feeling of 'crap I've been busted' and I'm hoping that your world continues to spin as well as mine did, post discovery and later complete revelation.

Becky

[Julia1984]

Well...
The world has carried on spinning, like it does. It cares not for me, nor I much for it. What does it matter if I wear a suit or a dress? I'm still the same person underneath those trappings. And I THINK thats known and accepted, at least to some extent.
Life really IS too short to care so much, isn't it?

Julia, sorry I missed your post. The truth will set you free. Don't allow her to assume anything. Open the door to conversations and if she is ready to talk, she will, but keep opening those doors. It CAN work. The "hurt" of lying is what will bother her most. The weirdness of cross dressing is really just a thing and not the the be all end all.

Best of luck

[Robin414]

Truer words were never spoken (I could quote another from "Midsummer Nights Dream", we are still who we are, in a suit, a dress, or buck naked...no, that's not the quote but could you imagine Shakespeare writing that...I'm LMAO right now thinking about it )

I truly hope your SO understands in the long term, many of us have been there with varying results but I have a feeling it's going to be all good, and a heck of a lot less stressful!

Oh, and thanks for coming back, we were worried about you! ☺
