Mistake telling others.

Wanda, maybe what you are experiencing in a changed relationship is the natural response to the fact that you are different than they thought you were, and they are trying to respect that difference. Just a thought.

My regrets run in the other direction. I wish I had been honest with myself and my folks when they caught me as a child.

Me too, I wish I had the courage to be honest earlier. but for my defense, I have to say that I was quite confused until I reached for this forum.

Lorileah,

Do you find that, of all that you tell, do the questions come from the women, and the indifference from the men? [they love you , but don't talk about it]

or do you find the men in your life also asking serious questions as to the why's etc.???

Men usually either just nod and go on or they really want to know the intimate details. REALLY intimate details, of which I don't discuss. I think they think I am part of a porn movie

Women just want to know how I do make up or how I get a waist (corset) or how do I walk in those shoes or where did I get those legs (they were a birthday present from my mom ) just plain "why"? I have always answered their questions and not ONCE has any female asked if A) am I gay (guys ask) or B) do I want to be a woman. They just take me at face value.

Sorry it took so long to answer, somehow I missed the question.

The problem is that once you tell someone your secret its not your secret anymore. Its theirs.

It certainly can hand someone a loaded gun when you tell them. Be very careful.

I speak from experience.

A close female friend after my wife told her stated that " I thought he wanted into my panties, not wear them".

I did'nt on both accounts I must say.

Although I still love here dearly as a friendI do not have much to do with her now.

Quite a few people I trusted used it to hurt me later on. So yes many regrets!

[Karen Michelle]

I have only told my late wife and no regrets there. She was very supportive and even when shopping for me a couple of times.

[Alice Torn]

[SIZE="3"]Yes! I made the bad decision, to tell a gossip, and show some photos, and, of course, she said she wouldn't tell anyone. NOT! She told a macho guy I know, and, I am afraid my friend of his will know. All condemn it.[/SIZE]

My future ex-wife caught me and through much debate and four years decided the marriage wouldn't work. On the positive side she is still friends with me but she just can't be intimate with woman or a man who looks like a woman. Haven't told another soul however. Lesson learned from the experience and this site is be forthcoming about it to whoever becomes next girlfriend. Suspect I'm going to have a lonely life. Side not to thread, when is a good time to tell the kids?

It's been all good so far. My GG friends offer advice and handy me downs.
Everyone here seems fine with it
