Hi, I'm Emeraude

Guest Emeraude

Hello, everyone. I'm male; I'm married, have children, and I cross dress. Notice I don't call myself a "crossdresser", although that's what I put in my description. I'm not entirely sure I want to have that label, or if I should be involved in this forum.

I mean, I like to wear women's clothes, but the need comes and goes and I've quit many times. Honestly, I'm only in it for the shoes. High heels. Really, I only have eight pairs. I particularly love my black strappy sandals with the 5" heels, and the brown pumps, and the red satins with the rhinestones. Of course, I have to have pantyhose when I put the heels on, or stockings. Then the garter belt, and a cute satin and lace thong. Matching bra, of course. And breast forms to fill the bra properly. All of which doesn't look right without the long blond wig and makeup and earrings and. . .

Sigh. I think I'm going to be here awhile.

Hi Emeraude,

I think that you just reminded me of my favorite uncle who said, "Quitting smoking is easy, I've done it 5 or 6 times this week."

Don't worry about if you belong or not, you do so enjoy the cookies and the friendships they are invaluable.

Welcome to the friendliest place on Earth.

Love ya,

Sally

Welcome to Laura's Emeraude. My sisters are so right, you'll find a lot in common with many of us.

I too have a family and have cross dressed off and on since I was a teenager, and I'm now (cough, cough)

years old.

Check out all the forums, not just the CD forum, and see how much wonderful variety there

is in this Community. We don't care about labels here, its just a place to be yourself, learn,

have fun, and talk with people who understand you and will never judge you.

Is it as nice as it sounds, YES!.

I was real scared of being labeled myself when i finally caved in to my desire to crossdress. When i told my GF and she became comfortable she would try to label me saying im a crossdresser and everything else and i hated it. When i found this place I realized that hiding it not just from everyone else but from myself was only making me miserable and I couldnt understand why I wasnt able to just rid myself of this thing inside me, this urge. I would purge time and time again always feeling ashamed of the things I had been doing. But while doing these things I always felt whole, like it was meant for me to do this. Today I no longer have that shame. I still dont have the courage to take it outside and only my GF knows, but I am finally comfortable knowing that Im not the only one, and that there is help out there. I am a crossdresser not by choice, but because its just a part of me, and there is nothing wrong or shameful about beeing who you are. I hope this will help you in your path, but Im not here to label you, I just thought I would tell you a little about who I am and how I came to be comfortable with that.

Welcome to the Playground!

I hope you enjoy your time here. There's no pressure to call yourself anything other than what you want to be called. :)

Thanks, Donna Jean, and thank you Sally for the cookies. (Oooh, is that real china?) I feel very welcome. Thanks, all of you. I'll try not to worry and just enjoy chatting with all of you.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
