Hi From Cape Cod Im New

[Guest EricaG]

I'm a newbe and very nervous about coming this far. I have been crossdressing off and on since I was a kid. I have kept my crossdressing very private behind closed doors. I am married and love my wife but she would not understand. She has very old school ideas about this type of thing. I am only able to dress when I know she is going to be away. I have a never been out because I have facial hair and would never pass. I am glad that I have taken this first step.

Hello, Erica....

Please don't be nervous, Sweetheart!

I'm Donna Jean and I'd like to welcome you to the Playground!

Let me get you a cup of hot coco and a plate of Sally's cookies...yummy!

Now, just get comfortable and we'll have the others come 'round and say "Hi"!

We keep a safe site and we don't judge people...you can be who and what you are here!

Kick off your shoes, Honey....

It's nice to have you here!

Hi Erica,

I was wondering where those cookies went, I set them out to cool and I turned around and they were gone, DJ can be very quiet when she wants to.

So glad to have you here, do relax, we are non judgemental and very friendly.

So feel free to ask questions, make comments and just take part in all that goes on.

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

Hello Erica,

You have taken a very important step indeed. You are starting to talk about your gender identity. That is very very important. Believe me, I completely understand where you are coming from. All I can say to you now is that in time, crossdressing will feel normal and not something to be ashamed of.

When you get the chance read this...

http://wpath.org/Documents2/socv6.pdf

When the time comes that you are ready, have your wife read the document too.

Remember, there is no rush, no rule, no formula to being transgendered.

Take this one step at a time, your own pace.

We will always be here to help you.

Love

Brenda

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the warm welcome, and thank you very much for the treats I do love coco and cookies very much but then I have to watch what I eat the rest of the day or else I will not fit into my clothes. I felt a little tingly when I read all your replies it is so niice to have a place where I can come and let my feelings dictate what I have to say.

Love you all!

Hii!

welcome to the forums~~~~ *gives a lei* :3

Also, there's always laser hair removal to get the beard off by the way! Even if you won't take things further, I don't think it's that weird for someone to wish to not shave anymore X-D

Greetings, Erica. It's great to have you with us.

There are many of us in the same situation as you. Please do look through some of

the older posts in the CD and General forums and you will find a lot of good

advice, and issues that I know you will relate to.

You will gain confidence talking about yourself and expressing your views. I was

very shy at first too, and now they can't shut me up! Lol

As Bernie said so well, finding us and talking about your issues is a huge and positive

step. It's a long road, but walking it requires that first step.
