I’m a happily married cross dresser plus.

So what's a cross dresser plus? Good question and I don't really know but I feel like I’m more than just a cross dresser but I have no desire to ever go full time so I'm not trans either. I suppose I could have either put that I'm CD+ or trans- but if I put something on the internet saying I'm "trans negative" some nitwit would probably turn up and egg my house so CD+ it is.

Whatever labels you or I want to use I simply enjoy living in both my worlds. This Flickr account, however, is all about my feminine one and letting the girl inside out to breathe. Not that it matters too much as you’ll find I’m pretty much the same person regardless of what I’m wearing.

Although having said that, I’ve gotta say things are just that little bit more fun in a dress

Want to know more about my history?

No? Then stop reading and look at some pretty pictures.

Yes? Then get yourself a warm coco and I'll let you know how I got here.

Well like most CD’s I’ve been through various cycles or purging and replacing but I’m done with that now. In early 2022 while I was chatting online someone asked me my name and for whatever reason I picked Emily and it stuck. And when I say it stuck it really, really stuck. It resonated. It just felt right and it just felt like me. Something inside me changed that day and it was like a switch had been flipped. The feminine side of me that had always been there under the surface and under control had suddenly found something, a real name, to properly coalesce around.

Emily was emerging almost out of nowhere to become a fully fledged part of me and she damn well wasn’t going to go away again. The girl side of my soul which had been locked away inside me, nameless and often dormant for the previous 45 years was suddenly awake and desperate to get out. Properly out. She wanted to go dancing in a dress and spin around on the dance floor so fast she flashed her knickers. She wanted to bounce around in the real world, making friends, drinking cocktails and having a proper giggle with some gal pals. The girl inside me wanted to live!!!

So... in September 2022 after 13 years of marriage (17 years together) I finally told my wife the secret I’d kept hidden away since my early adolescence and oh my god was it terrifying! Even though I knew she was an unbelievably wonderful and tolerant woman it was still the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. The consequences and the potential costs are just so high. But my wife was amazing. After I told her about my other side she took me upstairs to redo my makeup before we returned to finish our meal together (at home and by candle light. I had it all very well planned) and the next day she went out shopping and bought me my first ever dress.

As I said. She’s totally amazing and I am so very lucky to be with her ❤️

And that's my story. Various things conspired to stop us getting out for a few more months but in January 2023 I left the house for the first time with my wife at my side and I haven’t looked back since.

Life is far too short and far too precious waste hiding away in the shadows. We're meant to be outside in the real world. We're meant to be free.
