It ALWAYS happens!

Sorry about that Melissa - there you go :)

Hugs n kisses,

I already came out to my mom. My dad knows, but I don't really talk to him about it. I recently came out to some of my friends who are middle age lady friends who were very cool about it. :D I haven't told any of guy friends although I might, and I usually steer clear from talking about cd'ing with men. I would absolutely have to tell my SO or future wife because to love me is to love the boy and girl sides of me. :shh:

[Imogen_Mann]

Partner (ex now) only, and my best GG friend too, thats it for me.

Over time, my whole family, and many of my friends have found out, many of whom wished they didn't know. But I was outed that way a long time ago, and most of my friends know I'm still the same person.

I will share with those who I feel want to know, but will actively hide it from no one. I don't go around telling everyone, nor am I gonna go places where I am known as a guy dressed, just to shock people. I see no point in making people uncomfortable who probably don't want to know.

But I couldn't care less who knows. If I did, I wouldn't have a photo here.

Hugs,

Melissa :)

Add my parents to that, and you basically have my list.

Thanks girls. :)

well the wife ...and i outed myselfe to a freind ....and my mom knows ...soon one day i just think i would like to blow the lid off this thing and not worry abought it at all.....

I would have to tell any new SO, GF, Wife, etc that i was a crossdresser up front. i hid it from my wife for nine years and it tore me up emotionally, even though i gave lots of hints to my wife - she always said anybody who did something like that wasn't normal.

Otherwise, i don't have the courage to tell my family or friends. I don't have that many friends to start with and i value their friendship.

World. The only people that don't know are most of my offline friends.
I have nothing to lose really.

[Fallen Angel]

[Tristen Cox]

A partner or friend whom I thought would be supportive :)

[Brianna Kylee]

i've told a gg friend of mine from school. I want to tell my mom, but i dont see that happening soon, and i also want to tell a few friends.

[wilma]

I'm not sure you could say I came out, She found me on this forum. LOL Wilma

[TaylorAB]

A few of my friends know. I only had a bad response from one of them, but we are still friends. :)

3 years ago I told my wife (now ex), my 3 brothers, my sister-in-law, my mother, and my 4 best friends (2M, 2F).

At the time I also thought it a good idea to allow my wife to tell her 2 sisters. She did that and eventually told other people she shouldn't have (including her parents, when she decided to divorce me - though she felt terrible afterwards for having done that).

From my side of the family and my friends I got total acceptance and support, even admiration. And even from my ex's family I got some understanding and respect, the divorce and all not withstanding. (The fact was that the CDing was not really the reason for the divorce, it just quickened things a bit).

My eldest daughter (now 16) found out a CD profile of mine on the net a few months after the divorce. It was a bit of a shock for her initially, but after I talked to her about it she was ok with it and even kind of proud to be in the know.

I am now in a LTR with a wonderful GG, whom I told about my CDing a month or so after the beginning of our relationship. She often calls me her princess.

Hugs,
Gabriela Dee

My gf knows, my sisters know, and my closest friend knows.
The neighbors know also, but it wasn't my choice to tell them.

[Jonien]

So far only my wife and two close Friend(both GG) know Now I have to tell my Son now thats the hard one, i'm not looking to telling him, but I must before any one knows but it's not going to be easy.

Bigg Hugs :hugs: Jonien

I enjoy being a Girl

[jessiemillard]

Im thinking about coming out soon but only to my family cos there pretty cool. My friends are a bit strange so i wouldn't tell them and i don't have a gf...

[uknowhoo]

I had never told anyone, then, a year or so ago I went to a therapist to talk about a few things , i.e. dressing. It was she who suggested going online to learn more about it, and what a blessing it's been. Since, I've told my best ggfriend. Would love to tell my wife, but I don't think it's in the cards anytime soon.

[Katie Ashe]

Well my wife knows and supports whole hartedly, This past Sat was our 11 Year married :thumbsup: . And everyone on this site knows. Everyone else in the world will find out on the need to know basis, or when I get caught :hiding:

[Kimberly]

There wasn't really an option for me :p

I've come out to a lot of close friends, and also to one SO.

Some have never mentioned it again, as they're not bothered; some have taken an active interest in the subject, and some have taken an active interest in ME! ;)

[sarah8553]

Good for you Kimberley!

Sounds like things have been working out in the end for you...

I hope your friends continue to give you all this wonderful support :)

Hugs n kisses,

Sarah. x

[Holly]

My wife has known for some time now. No other family. Have considered telling a few close friends, but there is no rush.

[Stephanie Brooks]

If you want to know me - Stephen - you want to know Stephanie. If you don't want to know Stephanie, you don't want to know me.
