When I was in my teens all my friends new I liked to cross-dress.
We would would get together and three or four of us would dress up.
Sometimes girls would help with makeup.
At about the age of 19 the cross-dressing with friends stopped and I went into the Closet.
I had one friend who never never cross-dressed but knew I cross-dressed.
For about the next five years I would show him dresses I bought, then one day when he said "your really a strange person"
After that I never talked about cross-dressing with him.
