-to two relatives and a friend that came by my house the other day (well they're all my friends, and hopefully still is).
Guess it was a bad day to CD if I wanted to remain in the closet, but since I do want out a bit more maybe it was a good day after all..
I could have avoided all scenarios with excuses like being asleep or in the shower etc, and taken my time to change.. But I figured as these are of the most common people to come by me I could try outing myself and just 'owing' the situation instead. (And I was well aware I could not 'unring the bell' after).
They were all males around my age group, and came by at different hours as I was home and dressed all day (which I've been a lot now during the holidays).
The friend that came by was the one I was most sceptical to I guess as he's somewhat into body building and being a bit more on the 'macho' side.
And second on my scepticism list probably was my cousin (a year older than me) who works in a psychiatric hospital (but is also the person I've known the longest of them all).
Last is a close living stepbrother of mine (a few years younger) who's still in school and living in my father and stepmothers house, where I was living as well until half a year ago (before I bought this house very nearby).
The outing to all of them however probably went better than my expectations, guess they may have taken it with a grain of humor after the initial shock but in no form of ridicule or humiliation, and no sign of hate, intolerance or disrespect was given from any of them. They pretty much just acted as everything was normal and seemed quite accepting overall, but did ask a few questions of course.
And since none of them ran off as soon as they saw me I did get the chance to explain myself as who/what I am as well.
-That I am a crossdresser/transvestite and enjoy dressing up as a woman, but that I do not know what the future will bring; as in progressing further or stop enjoying it (for a while? forever?), but I do know (and accept) that this is a part of me and is who I am today and what I enjoy doing now.
Funny thing about my stepbrother though is that he didn't really have a reaction to it at all (not even a inital shock), everything just seemed normal, so I just had to ask if he was as okey with it as it seemed he was.. well he claimed that he had actually known for quite some time already, by connecting a bunch of clues left by me (most subconsciously, some consciously I guess) over a longer period of time, as in he may have known since before I started accepting myself and practicing the way I do now.
Well at least I do know now that I'll have his full support on whichever road my desires takes me.
So I guess this outing has been a success so far, but for whether something will change between us in the future (for the better or worse), or I'm outed to others by any them (deliberately or not) I guess it's for time to tell.
(Still waiting on torches and pitchforks at my door, as I do live in a place where people may have those around , no but I do live in Norway in what I believe to be a quite open minded society (with exceptions of course) so my outings do have a good chance on success at being accepted or the least tolerated (I hope)).
As for what I was wearing; 4" heel sandals, nude hose, panties, bra and forms, skirt, blouse, necklace, bracelet, earrings, wig, makeup, lipstick/gloss, nailpolish, and having my purse next to me.
