My neighbours are well used to seeing me now

[Bobbi46]

Late this afternoon it was reasonably warm so I was as usual dressed with a nice flower pattern top and a skirt with small black polka dots on a white background and of course all the usual rest, I had just turned round after opening my barn doors to put my car away when at the end of my lane I saw Eloise who saw me for the first time some days ago but this time with her mother who I do not think has seen me dressed before but must know about me when I saw them although they were not within speaking distance I gave them both a friendly wave and you've guessed it they both waved back as friendly as I had done to them.
It is so nice to be just oneself and to be liked equally by people who hitherto had not known I dressed but on seeing me a few times they are still just the same nice and accepting.

Bobbi, It sounds like you are enjoying life right now and to me that is what it is all about. Good for you!

Crissy
Thank you dressing and life here in general is what i need right now.

Yay, Bobbi!

I'll bet $100 you're going to find that most people in your life are just fine with you as a crossdresser, and the loss of friends after coming out is going to be so low, and so ridiculous,anyway, once someone actually says they would unfriend you over something like that, you'll be very glad you stepped out of the closet.

[Bobbi46]

phili,
A100 bucks would come in handy any time! just to clarify a little point I have not lost any friends as a result coming out. but the good thing is that one person who saw me dressed a few days before plus her mum who had never seen me dressed before and now has have accepted me nicely, as also have my very conservative English directly next door.
So loosing friends? not yet at least.

[Beverley Sims]

You don't have to take that furtive leap behind the barn anymore.

Gee! Doesn't it feel good?

Hi Bobbi! I agree! A couple years ago I got tired of sneaking around to get dressed. Now I frequently dress at home and venture out to do whatever I would normally go out to do. And doing so, a number of neighbors have seen me. A couple of them have commented - all good. As well I have been coming out to my friends. It really is a great comfort to be able to just go about my business - being myself.

More and more of us are finding the same kind of result you just reported. People are much more accepting and forgiving than we lead ourselves to believe.

About 20 minutes ago I told my neighbor I'm transgender and we talked for a while. Eventually I reminded him that he had seen me driving down the street a couple weeks ago and he smiled and nodded his head, "Oh Yeah, I wondered who that was." He's good with it and I'll be able to expand my range a little more now without worrying about what they may think or do. I've been feeling penned in recently and need to get out more, this will help.

[Bobbi46]

Beverly if I had made a leap behind the barn I would have ended up in next doors compost pile ollowed by the chicken run! yes its so good.

StephNE For sure its a nice feeling and has been for me for quite a while that I have the ability to be myself, dress and go out to my barn or whatever I want to do.

Staphanie, I bet you felt a whole lot better having told your neighbour I found this to be true although I did not need to tell my neighbours, news flies round here like space shuttle, tell one and the whole village know within 24 hours with dressing in mind and with you as me no harm was done and no friends lost this is just what life should be like.

[Rachael Leigh]

Bobbie I’m glad all is going well in you coming out in the neighborhood. I think sometimes we just overthink it.
I’m doing much the same as well on the days I’m fully en fem I do any and everything out in front of my house, officially
I’m only out to one neighbor who was not really bothered by it. But like you if I see anyone I’m not really concerned if they
see me dressed or not.

[Bobbi46]

Rachael, Thats the right attitude and well done you! it gets easier as more neighbours get to know of your dressing, if where you are is a bit like me then you will have no problems at all just be you, enjoy yourself and be happy.
