I told my sister today about my cross dressing. At first she was bewildered because she always thought of me as manly, 6'3 220#. But then we talked about Mom and what we have learned since her death. We agree our mom was the source of our coping problem. After a bit she was very supportive and we agreed to open up to one another.  I feel so free, like a giant weight lifted off my shoulders. Now just one more obsticle. Going public.

Congrats - glad it went well!

My sister was the first person I told about my crossdressing. She was very accepting about it. My wife and mother also know about it and they are  supportive too.

That's awesome, I'm glad it went well.  Funny how we craft this exterior that people see and it works better than we think.  Inside we feel like everyone can see through us but the reality is they can't and are quite surprised to find out our inner secret.  Love it when they can just adjust their thinking and not freak out.
