I’ve been cross dressing since 10 or so. I think of myself as passable, and like to go out in public whenever I can. I’ve gone through many purges in the past, until I accepted who I am. Once I did, life became a lot better. I'm blessed to have a wife that is supportive of my "hobby". I told her about my crossdressing shortly after we got engaged (I had read too many sad stories of others who told their spouses after being married for several years and they ended up splitting up).
