Why are you in the closet?

[StaceyJane]

I think about coming out. I have thought about what I would say. But when the opportunity comes up I can never do it.
I have a daughter was is lesbian and my wife and I have always been very supportive of her and her girlfriend. It would seem like it would be ok to come out to her but I can't. I guess I still have fear that people would think less of me or they would think I'm ridiculus or just sad. I ccna't say I'm worried anyone would think I'm less of a man because being a man really isn't much of a priority for me.

Dressing has always been a private activity for me. I have had very little desire to go out and mingle with society while dressed en femme. When I have, it is still a solitary activity for the most part. I'm not one who loves to shop; I do that online anyway. I don't go out to bars, except with friends to catch a game or have a few beers. So my needs are usually met at home by myself.

I don't publicize my crossdressing for the most part because I really don't want to explain myself to others. It's none of their business anyway. My friends like me the way I am, and I do not wish to compromise their opinion of me in a negative way. This is not something they need to know, and I choose not to tell them. Some of them might not understand anyway. My colleagues would definitely not understand, and it would compromise my standing at work.

So I've grown to like my closet. I can leave it any time I choose to, and go right back in again. It's safe, it doesn't judge me, and I actually like it there.

Oh, and the primary reason: my wife, although she knows I crossdress, really isn't down with it, so in deference to her, I keep it private and out of her life as best I can.
