Waited ten years after we were married before telling Rebecca. What I did, accidentally on purpose - subconsciously - is I left a bra in a drawer. Rebecca found it and thought I was having an affair. When I told her, she went out and bought all these porno magazines that had pictures of lesbians, to try to get used to the idea of having sex with me as a woman. The only clue she had was a number of years before that when we had gone to the Jewel Box Review, which was a really good female impersonator show - my mother was actually selling tickets from synagogue for it - and when we came home, as she was getting undressed, I asked her if she would let me put her girdle on. She thought I was kidding. When she saw I wasn't, she was really upset. That kept me from saying anything to her for a long time ."
