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. :)

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      By Betty K · Posted

      Thanks Davie! And don’t worry, I didn’t take it that way. It’s just such a big topic I can only hope to tackle it one bit at a time.

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Finally Starting HRT

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.
