How Do You Hide Your Clothes?

I used to hide mine in boxes in a closet in the garage. The good thing was that my S.O. would have needed a ladder to get up there, so discovery was almost

out of the question.

Well, it depends on how much you've told your spouse, how ready you might be to come clean if your clothes are discovered, how big your place is and how meticulous your spouse may be.

A large attic can be beneficial as most wives don't tend to want to look into dark corners because who knows what might lurk there. A storage locker might be useful if you have the money available each month that won't be noticed. Sometimes, it just may help to go through your clothes and decide if some things are getting a little old and discard or donate. If you have your own car, (which I did until last Tuesday), the trunk - if garaged - can work.

I used to keep them in the largest suitcase - obstenably mine - until my spouse's one (slightly smaller) finally 'broke' and she decided to use mine giving me a smaller one. <sigh> In a sharing environment, though, it is difficult to keep secrets. Which is why for the moments we share, I have some things way in the back of a drawer, and my more dress-up things for my own moments usually put away, so others won't stumble upon them and my spouse doesn't have to think about them.

An inconspicuous backpack in the corner of my closet used to hide everything. Now, I have become bold and use the bottom two drawers of my dresser. Nobody does my laundry for me, so nobody will ever be there.

My wife has formerly injured knees, on which she wears heavy braces while playing tennis, which is still (one of) her passions, and she claims she can't kneel anymore, so I thought I'd find a safe haven for my 'things' up in a small triangle loft high up in the apex over the loft in our big barn of a garage. Well, recently while I was away on business for a few days she braved the kneeling and unearthed my 'trove' and unceremoniously binned the lot, nothing said !

As a reaction to this I have gone on an ordering spree and have decided on a locked large cupboard in my workplace to hang my things....there are some dersses on the way. That, I hope, will solve the problem.

I have a footlocker with a lock, but I worry about my brother finding out. He was interested in it at first when I got it and put normal stuff in it, but now he only mentions it every now and then.

My door is locked with a key, so even if he got into my room, it's doubtful he could get passed the lock. If he ever did get passed the other two, I would never hear the end of it.

He's a bit of a homophobe (I'm not gay but he wouldn't believe that if he found out about my crossdressing) and one of the meanest people you'll ever meet (out in public he's nice to people, at home not so much). He'll move out in a few months hopefully.

This is why I stay in the closest is because of him. He used to beat me everyday when we were kids and my mom was too much of a wuss to do anything about it. The beatings weren't severe (maybe halfway between play and real fighting), but he has made my life a living hell for a long time.

I used to share a room with my mom for a few years because we had 4 people with 3 rooms. She would sleep in the living room, but all of her stuff was in her room along with mine. So I had no closet space or a dresser to use. So I got this little rack to put my clothes on near the door. So my brother would come in my room (didn't have a lock since he broke the door that had one) all the time and grab everything on the rack and throw it on the floor.

When I got a new room, I had a lock on that door. But since the door was old, it took a bit of a push to close it. So my brother decided to "fix" it by taking a screwdriver and do who knows what to it, and when I closed it, it stayed shut. I eventually had to pull my hardest to get the thing open. After about 3 times of doing that, the door knob's middle thingy broke, so he blamed me for breaking it.

So with that door out of the way, he would always pester me. I couldn't even sleep during 9am to 10pm without him waking me up trying to mess with me.

I'm glad I got a new locked door many months ago. I had it before I bought my own stuff, so I can sleep in lingerie without worry if I want to.

I haven't slept in girl mode in awhile though. I need to do that tonight :)

I have a duffle bag for some of my stuff and other stuff I have in my drawers and hanging up in my colset. Now that I am out to my family, they know about my clothes but I still hide some in my duffle bag in the colset and in my drawers. But I do my own laundry.

But eventiualy people will find out about your clothes.

But take care all.

I am divorced and live alone right now, so my feminine attire is simply hung in the closet with my male clothing. Very convenient. If I have visitors staying overnight, I pack it all in a couple of suitcases.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      You are both beautiful.  Have fun.

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.
    • Mirrabooka
      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.

      Hi Birdie, I can relate to that.

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.

      Hi and welcome. A few things...   1. You're right, you can't trust your friends w/r/t the question of passing. How would they even know if you pass or not? My sister used to do the same thing, telling me that no-one knew I was trans and that to her I just looked like a cis woman. I still don't know if she was serious or just trying to make me feel good, but I learned to not listen to her on that topic.   2. Buuuut, having said that, I thought I looked good, and I think that is all she was really trying to tell me, that she liked how I looked as a woman. Maybe this is obvious, but I feel it gets overlooked: passing and looking good are not the same thing, not even remotely. Your friends (I presume) are trying to tell you that you look good as you are.   3. Having said all that, I think non-passing transmascs have a harder time than us non-passing transfemmes. All I have to do to get gendered correctly 95% of the time is wear a dress and makeup and only a few seriously ignorant folks and diehard transphobes misgender me. For you, it's much harder to find signifiers powerful enough to send the same message.   So in short, I don't have any answers, except that you're right, it sucks, and I hope the situation improves over time. But passing isn't everything. Maybe you're right, and in a less conservative state it wouldn't happen so often, because you'd have more people like you surrounding you. I know that where I chose to live while transitioning has been a big part of making the process a positive experience. I'd hate to be in Texas atm.

      Thank you, ladies.   At the time I went from euphoric (my normal state) to not euphoric in an instant, and the lingering thought was one of self-doubt, manifesting itself with the unsolved question that maybe I never really felt like I had the soul of a woman, I just thought I did. I know I'm not the only one to ever feel this way. All part of the ride on this roller coaster I guess.   Yep, and yep. Makes sense now.

      Good morning everyone,   I’m sitting at my gate waiting to board a jet ✈️ home. Happy Mother’s Day.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋🏳️‍🌈❤️
