EXCERPT: A cross-dressing factory worker's family only found out he had a secret double life as a transvestite when he arrived at his own wedding - wearing a bride's DRESS.

Dean Dudley, 35, has been dressing up in women's clothes and make-up since the age of six but never even told his mother.

And he kept his alter-ego 'Deanne' a secret from his macho workmates at an engineering factory for fear of being teased.

I admit it, I think it's kind of a nice story in that it's one less couple with no secrets. One woman who was open enough to accept a date from the guy who offered her a hairbrush in the ladies bathroom (and was probably dressed pretty freakin' nice too!). I say she gets a thumbs up and stuff.

Mo' power to 'em, I say. Good for them, if they're both happy.

One small niggle though, I do rather dislike the tone that some of the English tabloid newspapers use when covering such stories. But I guess they're aimed at people of a similar mind-set so...

I like the story. Good for them. I think all marriages would be better off if you got to be who you really were. I don't understand the folks who don't tell their spouses about their orientation, etc. Personally I think the definition of marriage requires open honesty.

So Taylor, I see you are counting down to an exciting change in your life. I've been wondering why but haven't noted an explanation. What's up? I wish you all the best in your new place!

Acceptance of the true self in another is real love.
