If your SO knows, did she know from the outset? If she did, what sort of age bracket do you fall into?

Do you have fun with the shared knowledge, ie shared dressing up times, talking about clothes and transgenderism in general? Have you read the same books on the subject and talked about them?

If you've decided to 'tell' your SO during your time together, have you regretted it? What are the good and bad bits about your CDing being out between you?

For those who've been 'caught' did your relationship survive?

I'm also interested to know roughly how many - and what age - of those who don't want to share their CDing with their partners (for whatever reason) and are perfectly happy with their own status quo?

My girlfriend and I have now been together for six months (not that long, I know), and I told her about my crossdressing within our first week of going out. We had been friends for some time before that, so I think she knew me well enough to know that I was otherwise a pretty normal, well-adjusted person. I'm 31, and she's a few years younger.

As I've gushed a number of times on this site, her reaction has been incredibly positive. I've never regretted telling her, and I honestly can't think of any negatives. We do have fun with it. She has bought me a few things and done my makeup a couple of times. We enjoy talking clothes and looking through the occasional fashion magazine together. She has told me that she feels my telling her actually brought us closer together, as it was such a personal thing to share so early in the relationship, and it signalled very early that we would not be keeping secrets and hiding things from one another.

For my part, I have been careful not to get carried away. I like to think of myself as a balanced person, and I am mindful of the fact that my girlfriend still wants her man.
