I guess I thought it would be interesting to hear people's stories about either being caught crossdressing (when at the time it was
crossdressing) or inadvertently outed. I suppose in an ideal world I
hope you can look back and laugh at the story, but sometimes maybe not
so much.
I personally was almost caught several times crossdressing at about 12 or 13 years old when my parents came home earlier than I was expecting but always managed to make it out ok. One time though I had given myself a pretty terrible manicure with some of my mom's nail polish and I was so naive I didn't even know how to get the polish off, I thought it washed off with water or something silly like that. I eventually had no choice but to fess up. I ended up coming up with a pretty stupid excuse that some girls at school had pinned me and my friends and painted our nails.... and she bought that, lol.
Another one was when I was 13 and emailed a transwoman asking for information about SRS and although I had deleted her reply... I was so stupid that I didn't delete the "sent" email that I sent to her asking lots of questions. My parents confronted me about it but were so disapproving in the way that they asked me about it, I denied it for fear of what would happen if I confessed. That is one of my regrets, not telling them that day when I had the chance. Anyways, I can look back and laugh at these things (most of the time, lol). Somehow they didn't bring it up after that, assuming it went away I guess....ha!
I've learned through all this that denial is one of the most powerful tricks the brain can come up with when it's face to face with something it doesn't want to deal with.
