Exactly! I see exactly where you are coming from and I agree that is a good analogy.
Edit:
Mimi, I didn't listen I on your conversation but from talking on here with you and Eryn I understood how a person who was TG could come out to their spouse of decades and have it be as okay as possible. I was definitely thinking of you two when I wrote that!
VS fan, I think from the sounds of it your marriage in regards to CDing is solid. I am sure she appreciates the heads-up, and loves many of the things about you that stem from the same place that makes you want to dress up. It's also very sweet that you don't push her out of her comfort zone with trying to get her to participate. In return, she seems as though she makes sure you have time to get those clothes dirty!![]()
