next to me, she said she doesn't like it but as long as I leave her alone I can do as I please.

I have been luckier than most in that I can dress up when ever I please as long as the kids don't see, but that is changing slowly. I have been able to dress with the four year old around and nothing is said so its just a matter of time when I can convince her that no harm will be done when the two older boys know.

One night during the holiday week after I wrote a letter I put on a coat and scarf over my dress and wig and drove to the post office and mailed it. I was a little scared because I was never this far from home before dressed as a female. I had to get out of the car and walk to the box – just as I dropped the letter in the box, a car parked behind mine and a man came to post a letter and I had to pass him to get to my car. So I just acted as calm as possible and just walked normally. I must have looked convincing as he didn't give me a second look.

Now I come to the best part of all. One day I went to my brothers house for a visit. I had on male outer garments but underneath I wore a padded bra, nylons, panties, and girdle which I wear often in my free time. My sister-in-law insisted that I take off my coat and stay for supper. At first I was reluctant as I thought the bra would show, but after a while I threw caution to the winds and took off the coat and had supper. Neither of them noticed anything wrong while we ate or after, or if they did, they didn't admit it.

After she had the dishes done, we sat and talked. I don't know when or how we started to talk about sex but I had an impulse to expose myself and I did. I told them all about myself and showed them the underwear I had on. They expressed a desire to see me fully dressed so I invited them over that same night. They gave me time to get home and dressed up before they came over. At first they just looked and seemed to enjoy what they saw. The sister-in-law said if it wasn't for my glasses she wouldn't know that it was me, so she gave me hers to put on. She said that made the whole make-up perfect. They stayed and talked for a couple of hours.

Later she told me how happy they were that I told them about myself. She then told me that she was also a transvestite.
