I'm a long time crossdresser, married, heterosexual and not 'out' in public. My wife knows and is sometimes supportive, sometimes dismissive, never consistent. She fears I'm on the slippery slope to the big snip and I cannot convince her otherwise. I have no gender dysphoria, don't think I'm in the wrong body, kinda like all my 'bits' just the way they are. I just have a urge to'dress' and don't fight it.
I regularly underdress, even at work but have not, and probably will never go out fully dressed. I could not pass at a convention for the blind, standing in a dark corner, during a power blackout, under a blanket!!! But I'm happy.
I have gone to a local CD group and am slowly feeling a little more confident. Hope to make a few more friends.
Cheers,
Donna
