Dear Queenie,
I’m a middle-aged man, happily married and not gay or anything like that, but sometimes I like to dress up in women’s clothes. Recently a neighbour saw me that way and I’m worried about what they may think.
Queenie, what should I do?—Scared cross-dresser
Dear Cross-dresser,
You could tell them the women’s clothing was a costume you were wearing for a Halloween party. And try not to let it happen again.
There is an organisation called Tri-Ess (Society for the Second Self) that is an international educational, social, and support group for heterosexual cross-dressers, their partners, and their families. You can contact it at www.tri-ess.org if you want to learn more about what it could offer you.
