My wife, Barbara, has a friend named Audrey who sells candles
using a ladies’ day get together as a means.
They have a theme for the month. She,
Audrey, was called away at the last moment and my wife agreed to host the party
at our house in her place. Barbara is
enthused about the candles and likes them so she didn’t want a month to go by
without the party being held.
I have to get ready to go out to meet some friends of mine
and this candle party is kind of getting in the way of that. My friends expect me to be impeccably attired
when we meet They accept me no matter
how I dress, although they can be quite critical if what I’m wearing isn’t up to par
or, worse, doesn’t match in color or style to what they think.
I discovered an affinity for women’s’ clothes a few years
back. At first I wore silky underwear
and that became more and more feminine as I became more comfortable with the
notion of wearing it until, finally, I have a full array of women’s clothes that
look pretty good on me, even if I say so myself. A further advantage is that I can wear many
of Barbara’s clothes.
Barbara has a more difficult time with it than she lets
on. She found out about my proclivity
about a year ago when I was trying on a pair of her panty hose and she
accidentally saw me in them. I admitted
my situation to her and asked that she not be too awfully critical of me but
try to understand and work with me to keep it in the mix and not let it
overwhelm either of us. She agreed.
There has been a lot of family therapy since then. We have two daughters, one grown and on her
own and the other at Wellesley College in her second year. Both of them are have expressed little or no
concern about me; the younger one even supports me in my cross dressing. She refers to me as Mom.
To further complicate the situation, I am an accountant for
one of the more prestigious firms in the city.
I have a low profile in that I don’t do a lot of client relationship kinds
of things but do more of the “grunt” work behind the scenes to keep companies
in favorable tax situations. My
recommendation are usually made to the client by one of the partners so there
is little or no public exposure for me.
This plays nicely into my situation.
I did some research on the internet about cross dressing and
the best explanation I have follows:
“Russell O’Connor has always
felt trapped between male and female, but he finds freedom in dressing as a
woman.
