I've posted this on my personal blog and worth sharing here too.

It's Father's Day here in the UK.

I'm writing this sat in the garden early in the morning, coffee in hand, listening to the birds singing and enjoying the sunshine before the day properly begins.

Like many dads today, I'll receive a card, probably a gift, and spend time with my family. I'll call in and see my own father, enjoy a family meal, maybe have a beer or two in the garden later, watch some football and reflect on what being a father means.

As parents, we never really see ourselves through our children's eyes.

To our kids, we're often larger than life.

Cross dressers thoughts for any tgirls to post thoughts and spark chatter about why we Crossdress or any topic really

Another Saturday afternoon and evening spent wandering around Cardiff with my wife, doing one of our favourite activities: people watching, then a meal, live music and drinks.

Cardiff was busy, it's always busy this myth that online shopping has stripped city shopping centres of shoppers, ok may be true for some parts of Cardiffs main strip of shops at the Queen Street end but it's always busy with shopper's on a weekend.

The bars and restaurants were also full, shoppers were everywhere, and there seemed to be a noticeable increase in women wearing black fishnet tights / stockings, heels and bright red lipstick.

It didn't take long to work out why.

The Rocky Horror Show was in town.

Suddenly it all made sense.

It’s a strange experience hearing your own words read back to you via Spotify.

But exciting hearing Olivia saying she loved my email .. Although I didn't expect it to feature a whole podcast.

I listened to it again recently on one of my early morning walks and reflected again.

Hearing my email discussed, unpacked, and challenged by two intelligent and fun people like Olivia and Erika on the Weekly Hot Spot - Still makes me think Wow!

It took my truth to another level.

What struck me most listening back wasn’t just that they read my email, it was how deeply they engaged with it.

What happens when the person you thought you knew completely reveals a hidden side of themselves?

Taken from a podcast by Jenny Raven transcribed and described my thoughts in red..

For one woman from a small town in the North of England, that moment came on what started as a completely ordinary Friday night. 

Eight years into a happy marriage, with kids in bed and a takeaway on the table, her husband said the words that would change everything:

“I need to tell you something.”

What followed wasn’t an affair, or a devastating diagnosis — fears that raced through her mind in seconds. Instead, it was something she had never expected:

For many of us who crossdress, makeup is a huge part of the experience.

Whether it’s subtle enhancement or full transformation, it helps us express a different side of ourselves with confidence.

But there’s something that often gets overlooked, the quality of the products we’re putting on our skin.

This isn’t just about getting a better finish or longer-lasting look. It’s about skin health.

A Personal Lesson Learned

Recently, this really hit home for me and my wife.

Some never come out and live a life in hiding their crossdressing from the world.

However this is assuming you want to come out to someone..

It’s a question that comes up time and time again: when is the right time to tell someone you crossdress?

The last post I placed here on coming out Michelle suggested that we should be open and honest early on.

It’s a valid perspective, there's no right and wrong, but like most things in this space, it’s not that simple for everyone - What suits one relationship won't suit others.

There is no universal “right time” and it can cause a lot of angst and worry - The what if scenarios are like a tornado what if she rejects me, what if she leaves me..

A place to chat, debate, ask questions get advice from Wives, Girlfriends and men who Crossdress looking at the many reasons, worries, angst, fun, joy and escapism of why we Crossdress

Telling your partner that you crossdress can feel like one of the most daunting conversations you’ll ever have.

There’s vulnerability, fear of rejection, and the uncertainty of how it might change your relationship. But handled with honesty and care, it can also become a moment that strengthens trust and deepens understanding.

For the Man: How to Approach the Conversation

First, pick the right moment.

This isn’t a conversation to squeeze in during a stressful day or an argument.

This isn't easy because patient.
