Reply To: Have you ever dared telling someone at work about your cross dressing?

[Angela Booth]

Yes I did it. I worked in a large organisation in a team of about 20. We were a good team and I got to know some quite well. The nature of the work involved some to work in sub teams and a lot of chat was exchanged about things not necessarily work related. I gained a lot of insight into lives and we even did a bit of socialising too. It was a mixed sex group and after a time I felt I could come out to one of the girls as she had some issues that I helped talk through with her. I decided that I would meet up for a coffee and show her  a few pictures of myself. When the day came I had a ‘what the heck’ moment and got dressed and went. She was waiting outside the coffee shop and I walked up to and stood by her. She was looking around and I said ‘Hi’ and she did a double take and then gave me a huge hug. I was spot on with her reaction and it went really well and she asked if she could tell a couple of others and my social circle increased and everyone kept it confidential. After leaving the job a few male colleagues contacted through social media and I told them too. Life got so much better for me after telling that one person.
