Just realised Oreo.
Silly me, I usually check the OP too!

My friend’s husband (her second marriage, his first) is a cross dresser. He told her on her 40th birthday and she’s fully supportive and they love shopping together. As soon as he’s home from work he changes and becomes his alter ego. Any outings and holidays are always as ‘ladies’ although he has no desire to be one.
I know they found the Beaumont Society social gatherings good, in the early days.

Grayson Perry (Sir) and his wife seem to manage their relationship very well.

A good friend’s husband is a cross dresser. His taste is good and money isn’t a problem, so he’s fairly convincing when dressed. At work, he’s a man and at home he’s a ‘man in a frock’ and prefers a female name - he doesn’t want to change sex.
He and my friend have found The Beaumont Society useful for meeting up with similar singles and couples for events and functions, which give all a chance to mix and talk about their (often secret) situations should they want to.

I had a friendship with a cross dresser, not a relationship, for over 8 years it was warm kind and mutually beneficial x

Great x

Very ! Not dry ?

We live not far from you I live in Eastbourne, and she’s in mid Sussex! you would be surprised how genuinely ok lots of people are these days and laid back, even locally we have a lovely gent with a full beard a tea dress and DM’s he gets no hassle from anyone and is well known and liked about town ?

Dry valid point, Luckygirl

If cross-dressing was more accepted then maybe fewer young people wishing to change gender might not feel so pressured in that direction; being accepted in either persona with no fuss and bother.

Gender stereotypes are simply unhelpful.

Thanks Hildagard. I am pleased that you are happy with the situation.

kittylester we go out together in Brighton but otherwise restricted to home. We have some very good friends who accept both persona. My husbands sister actually borrows some of his dresses.
jenpax . Envious of your friend ?

Good luck to you. I have a friend who was in the same position as you and happily accepted the two personas they were perfectly happy for years and all their friends knew about it, sometimes we would have a drink with her and (male name) others we would turn up at the pub or bar and it would be the two girls together. Work was also aware and every thing was nice and easy for them. Hope this helps a bit ?

Hi Hildagard. I am full of admiration for you as I'm not sure if I could live like that.

Can I ask - what do your friends and family make of you both and do you go out together both dressed as women or is it restricted to home? I'm fascinated by how you make it work.

Don't answer if I have offended you by asking!

Bluegal actually I am very happy and just wondered if anyone else lived like we do. We have been together 20 years.

Thank you oldbatty I see what you meant now.

Personally I don't need a 'man for all the heavy jobs' I do most of them myself. I have female friends but we don't drink prosecco and talk about nail varnish.

It's not really a point. It's more an observation that gender and gender ascribed roles are fluid.

Oh good for you for being supportive and why the heck not!
In this day and age when we ar3 all so much more aware of mental health and the consequences of keeping things buried.
I truly admire the generation we have now who accept so easily all sexual genders and quirks.
I am grateful that I have no such complications as I doubt if it were me I would have had the guts to deal with things as I am such a coward and always seem to seek approval of others.

Hildagard I am glad this lifestyle suits you both, I know it wouldn’t suit me.

I saw a picture of Grayson Perry in the paper yesterday with his wife and daughter and he looked like a Dame out of a pantomime, but they all looked very happy. It takes all sorts.
