thank you everyone who replied! it is highly appreciated.
actually i'm 22. most of the aides i've had have been older(40's and 50's) so i don't know how they would react. if i had a much younger aide, i would be more inclined to ask for help. i had one aide that was my age and he was the most feminine guy around, probably gay and just didn't know it yet. he would've been a possible helper for cd'ing but we didn't really get along.
i have a lot of girl friends, more so thaan guys. i don't talk to them enough anymore nor am i close to them anymore. i think my girlfriend may accept me but she can be spiteful and thats not a good thing. she actually had a crossdresser in a class at school...she didn't really say anything mean but she didn't like this crossdresser because she was a know-it-all a-hole. the girlfriend has mentioned putting make-up on me, or clothes a few times...but i'm not quite ready to give her the go ahead. i'm contemplating to see if she wants to swap clothes this halloween, i'll dress as the gf, she dress as the bf...we'll see how that goes. i don't know if i have the balls to say anything though. it takes a lot of guts to come out which makes me really admire all of you who are out and proud!
