Prior to that conversation which you may remember in which I came out as a cross dresser. I had been unexpectedly rushed to hospital with a heart problem, which is still under investigation, but likely to be a minor problem. But it really did make me stop and evaluate my life and was another factor in me coming out. I have started to change my attitude towards me dressing. A recent present from my stepdaughter was a pretty ankle chain. Both her and my wife liked it and said I should just wear it, and I have worn it with shorts since and it is clearly visible. I recently had to have an ECG and the nurse doing the test said " oh that ankle chain is cute". I laughed and said there is a bit of a story to that. She asked what it was......I thought I'm not ashamed of what I am anymore. I said " I'm actually a crossdresser and it was a present from my stepdaughter" she said straight away "good for you, it's good that you can express yourself like that", smiling. And I felt really good that I had owned it. I told my wife when I got home and she was overjoyed for me, and was very proud. Sometimes it is us that have the problems with who we are not other people. I will not be broadcasting it to everyone, but I am changing my attitude. I am a nice person who wears a dress, as do 50% of the population.
I have never ventured out dressed but the wife and I are making plans for an overnight visit to the village in Manchester in the near future with me fully dressed. This will be a massive step for both of us. My beautiful wife is 100% supportive of it but nervous, I am nervous too but excited too. It would give me a day driving there (about 5 hours) as Stephanie, booking into the hotel a night out, and the drive home the following day. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, not very exciting......but my little bit of news. Bye x.
