Groom's secret life as transvestite - VIDEO<\/p>\n

By Sarah Crabtree
\nA CROSS-dressing Sheffield factory worker's family found out he had a secret double life as a transvestite when he turned up at his own wedding reception - wearing a bride's dress.
\nDean Dudley, aged 35, from Barnsley, had never even told his mum until the day he tied the knot that he loves wearing women's clothes, high heels and make-up on nights out with his wife.<\/p>\n

And he kept his alter-ego, \"Deanne\", a secret from his macho workmates at Sheffield factory Seal Engineering in Ecclesfield until TV crews arrived to film him for a documentary about women who marry transvestites, to be broadcast on Sky One tonight.<\/p>\n

Dean said he had known he was a cross-dresser since he was six, but hid the truth from his family for nearly three decades.<\/p>\n

\"Being a transvestite is as natural to me as talking and breathing. It is a huge part of who I am,\" he said.<\/p>\n

\"It is nice to be somebody else for a change and I get a kick out of it, although there is nothing sexual about it.\"<\/p>\n

Dean's fondness for dressing in women's clothes led to the breakdown of a 12-year relationship with a previous girlfriend before he met his wife Robyn - in the ladies' toilets of a Barnsley club.<\/p>\n

\"I didn't tell a single person about it until I told my then-partner back in 1993, but I was still suppressing that part of me and for the next six or seven years would dress up only when I was on my own in the house.<\/p>\n

\"She hadn't seen me in women's clothes until my 27th birthday when I decided that was the point in m
\ny life when I had to come out and be Deanne in the open, in safe environments like gay and transvestite nightclubs.<\/p>\n

\"My girlfriend didn't take it very well at all. Her family thought I was gay and that I wanted a sex change and they gave her a lot of grief, and we eventually broke up.<\/p>\n

\"But I had been stewing on it for a very long time and it was just something I had to do.<\/p>\n

\"As soon as I made that decision to go out regularly dressed as Deanne and be who I really am, I couldn't go back - it is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube once you've squeezed it.<\/p>\n

\"These days, I walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to being a transvestite.\" <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","topic-tag":[],"class_list":["post-539","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/539\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgr.net.au\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic-tag?post=539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
