I know how lucky I am with my wonderful lady, who is so supportive but how do those who have to keep it secret get by? Technically it must be a nightmare,

Where do you hid the clothes, wig and makeup? Can you always be sure you have not left some make up in the corner of the eye? What about that long blond hair found on the carpet.

When watching telly how can you stop yourself from saying "that's a lovely dress".

Perhaps if you have some tips it may prove helpful...

Make up is easy at least... It takes me 40 mins to get made up but only 10 mins to remove every trace of it. The best thing to do is use a soft white towel after washing to carefully rub/pat dry the face, as the towel invariably shows up traces of make-up left behind that are almost invisible in the mirror at close-up. Oh, olive oil to remove lipstick is my best discovery so far, and in fact does a good job removing all other bits of make-up too. A quick rinse after that with mild soap and it's all gone.

As for keeping it secret, I don't actually think any Tgirl is doing anything wrong simply by dressing, so I don't stress about it and don't feel conflicted by it. I know lots of people, including many partners, have real problems with it so it's actually less hassle to avoid the topic than it would be to refer to it, obliquely or otherwise. If a woman can go into a shop and buy a pair of 'boyfriend' cut jeans without anyone caring to comment I think I'd like the same freedom without anyone getting involved either.

Yes the "lovely dress" comment bit is hard you are so right. I often want to engage in that type of conversation but have to hold back till I come on here of course, then there are no limits of my unadulterated femininity
