Does anyone have an ally and would you say they are different from friends? I read a post by Helen Boyd on enGender where she makes a passing reference to "being an ally". This was not the topic of the article but it lead me to think that an ally of a crossdresser might find it easier to offer rational support without getting too close and drawn in to providing support on an emotional level. A ally might not even have to be comfortable with crossdressing but still accept and support it.
... and then there are confidants but maybe that is another topic. Any thoughts?
