I too, have a problem with the word "Forced". How could I be forced to do something I love doing? That said, I had a 20 year marriage to a lady that loved and strongly encouraged my dressing and I am thankful for it. If I were home in the evening and not at least partially in femme, she would ask me if something was wrong. I was in total fear of leaving the house dressed so she suggested that we just go for a drive. Later when out for a drive, she suggested we take a walk/window shop. It was she that took the initiative to seek out a few tg friendly clubs/bars where we could go, socialize, and enjoy ourselves among others. Without her encouragement, I might have remained totally closeted to this day but she insisted I be Jackie.
