Thanks for all the relies.
Katey, Well I've come out to a total of 6 people, most important to me is my son who is now 19, the others are all friends. In every case I've had nothing but support and encouragement to be myself and stop hiding. I've never wanted to live as a woman and for me its a case of waking up one day and having a desire to dress, then the next I might want to be the male me...I don't know what drives each day but I do feel different on different days. I was most concerned regarding what my son's reaction would be but he was great, I don't plan on exposing him to Kassandra unless he wants to meet her, at least I don't have to be paranoid about hiding everything anymore and we can talk about time for Kassandra to have freedom in the house. When I get more time I will take some blonde pictures, the colour, (yes UK spelling even though I currently live in US:-)) really did make a big difference to my look, I was amazed.
To everyone else. I do still have a SO and she still supports me but unfortunately due to other issues, mainly in her life, we can't physically be together at the moment. Its tough but we are trying to make it work and hope to be together again in the future. The issues are absolutist nothing to do with cross-dressing therefore I will not expand on this forum.
