Taken from an article written by a wife of a crossdresser
The day I found out my boyfriend cross-dresses, I immediately sat down for a conversation with him to find out what was behind it.
Was he confused about his sexuality or gender identity?
Was I his beard to mask his true self?
My head swirled with so many questions until he finally put them to rest.
He held my hand and told me he was 100% straight and that his love of cross-dressing doesn’t change that. He’s just not phased by gender norms and that’s a good thing.
I can see this myself as a life long crossdresser on and off it's now become a bit of a mental health coping thing and something I enjoy.. It doesn't have to be about sex or getting off on crossdressing.
Wow. If only my SO was so understanding and would have....'immediately sat down..' with me if she had discovered the same about me. Alas, not. Her views don't entirely sit well with men cross dressing hence why I have kept it secret. I was thinking a few weeks ago if the dating scene had been different 30 years ago (and knowing what I know now) what would have happened if I had been more open with potential partners and how would they have reacted? Life would, presumably, not be like it is now. Just thoughts though 🤔🤔
