In the Closet, DADT, She doesn't want this, Need to Know.....
Is crossdressing a sickness or wrong? Opinion seems to be that there is nothing wrong with it.
On one hand crossdressers will say they want more acceptance or that they need to get out so they can be accepted, but then hide in their own homes. We don't only hide in our own homes from people outside the home we hide from people that we live with.
We can say that our wife accepts our dressing but never wants to see us dressed. This is back to hiding in our own home.
As parents we accept our children for who they are. We might not like the boy our daughter dates, but, how would we know if that guy is the daughters true love or soul mate? That is for them to decide. If our child pierced or tattooed their body someplace we thought was not attractive, what would we do? Accept them and live with it, but we are willing to have a grown child dictate what we can do in regards to our innate desires.
It seems from reading many posts, that crossdressers to some degree, want to be controlled and want to remain hidden.
We have all heard the story of Edison and the light bulb and how he had so many failed attempts before he succeeded. How can we determine that because something was discussed before that it cannot be discussed again?
I think that many of these issues boil down to financial security. If a person was financially independent they would live their life the way they wanted. Especially when pertaining to something that was truly ingrained in their innermost being.
I don't think this post/thread is breaking any rules.
I am exploring how I want to live out the rest of my years. It seems that there are people that feel they are the authority or expert on these matters. I do not claim to be nor to I accept self proclaimed authorities as having the correct response. I have been honest and forthright and have posed legitimate questions that are worth consideration.
At this point only a short time after telling my wife that I want to crossdress in public, I am pondering the boundaries that she wanted me to agree to. I am an honest person and I refuse to sneak around behind a person's back. I love her and my family the same regardless of my attire and I am the same person. Why should I have to worry if my daughter a senior in high school got off early before I got home when I return from shopping? Very simple, tell her who I am. She does not have to like it. She can be who she wants to be the rest of her life. I only have a few years left to do that.
Just this moment, my wife asked me what I was doing, and I explained to her and read this post to her.
