My wife falls into the category of don’t ask don’t talk about it wives. She knows I cross-dress, has even bought me some clothes from time to time. But we just don’t talk about it. It makes her feel very uncomfortable.
She surprised me recently; we were watching a local news segment about a transsexual woman who transitioned late in life, actually almost my age exactly. Her feminine progression paralleled, and contained many of the same events and issues that my wife has seen with me.
All during the 5 minute segment my wife made positive comments, “she looks nice” “She’s got herself a cute bod”. This is the woman who has called me a freak and pervert for many years.
She turns to me after the piece is over and says
“You’d be an excellent candidate for a sex change”
I was in shock, caught by surprise the whole world kind of slowed down, with a million thoughts racing thru my head.
I responded, “Do you think, I really would be happy living fulltime, day in and day out as woman?”
Her response; “Are you kidding? I think you’d relish it, You’re more of a woman already than most of my friends”
Before I could respond she abruptly changed the conversation and it was over.
But I can’t get it out off my head……..
