I've got an urge to open up about my under-dressing in person to a couple of my liberal minded lady friends. My wife and kids are familiar with my collection of tights and nail polish but I really need to talk this out more with my pals. I've been blabbing to my therapist about being tired of not being open about myself on many levels and now I think it's time to put it out there. I'm hoping sharing and opening a conversation with friends will take some of this weight off my broad shoulders and let me relax.
I'm feeling a little concerned about bringing the topic up because my gender identity is a real mouthful. There are two hyphens in "gender-fluid under-dresser", so I think this definition is going to raise more questions at first than put them more at ease with me. Do you have any advice how to add a little more context to my story and sell my gender identity package - succinctly?
Thanks in advance, Chris Crossed.
P.S. I'm quite sure my friends have noticed over the years that I wear 50 den tights, skinny jeans & nail polish both at their place and ours so I don't think there is going to be any surprise factor for either of them. These women are educated, creative, attractive, well dressed, experienced, considerate and have lots of normal problems like the rest of us.
