Crossdresser Day


Guest Sandy

Recommended Posts

I have heard many ideas over the last couple of years on how to let each other no who is a crossdresser. On the second Friday in November, anyone who is a crossdresser or supports a crossdresser, wear a rubberband on your left wrist. A non cder will have no idea why your wearing a rubberband. But we will no and when we pass each other, just smile or wink. I think this might give us an idea of how many of us are out there. This should be very simple and shouldn't attract any undo attention. Other sites I have put this on think its a great idea and we should spread the word. Its scary the first time we wear a pair of panties out for the first time and for those of you who totaly dress. Wow, I wish I could be so brave. I think its time we let each other no who we are. Don't panic and think a friend or your boss will find out. If they do, that means they have been on these sites and they will say nothing, unless they really want to no about cding for themselves. Start spreading the word. Second Friday in November, rubberband on the left wrist. :D

I would like to know what happened last friday did anyone do thhis and what were the results?

I didnt as i am new here and have only just read this post

Is this something we should do every second friday of each month?

I found out that my good freind and next door neibour is a CD after 3 years of good freidship he told me of this after i told him i was moving to spain

I could not belive it he was sneaking around at home and in the back garden just as much as me

I opened up to him we both could not belive this!!

After all this time we both did not know

We are still in contact by email and phone now and again

I just wish we both knew about this sooner we both could have talked about it

So i think it is a good idea as you may never know untill its too late!!!!

Glad I am checking the back pages. Pip that is a great idea. Sorry for my ignorance, but what country are you from, the flag is not familiar to my limited North American mind.. Got it the second friday in November. Could we change it to the second friday in January.

I like that idea :)

I've done something close at least, on transgender day of remembrance I wore a red ribbon around my wrist at school (barely anyone knew why apart from my close friends, most people just thought i was being girly since i was CD).

I know this is an old post, but love the idea. How something so plain stand for so much. I believe there needs to be a firm date established. Could we ask Laura or one of the moderators to establish the criteria. I think this is wonderful.

Ok no input. Here is what Iam going to do. I will wear a green (No significance here Green is just my favorite color) rubber band on my left rist every day. Why should we limit ourselves to just one day or one month. Lets be proud of who we are and let each other know who we are. Amber L.

Hi Amber

What a fantastic idea! I'm surprised no-one is helping you push this forward. OK - I'm for a green rubber band on my left wrist and let's hope others will follow. I'll wear mine with pride. Come along the rest of you and let's do this! I'll push the idea to the UK Transliving forum as well. Hopefully we'll get something going! Do let me know how it goes!

Hi All,

I must have been subconsciously expressing my support this way for years!

I am in the habit of marking the pages ofthe books I read with rubber bands and any I remove automatically go onto my left wrist.

At last a logical explanation for the guy who winked at me in the lingerie department of Marks n Sparks! (I was in Mufti at the time!)

You know, I might just have a few green rubber bands laying around, I think I'll see if I can scrounge up one that won't cut off circulation and put it on my left wrist. Thanks for the idea.

Hey everyone. Michelle thanks for jaring my mind. This little incident occurred about a month ago in a JC Penney store in Indianpolis. I was just browsing around in the womens section in male mode when I had a sales associate asked if I needed any help. I told her I was just looking. I was wearing a green rubber band on my left wrist, and it caught the eye of the associate. The lady said that the rubber band was intersting, and then she ask me if it meant what she thought it meant. Of course I had to tease a little so I asked her what do you think it means. She then asked me if I was a cross dresser, and I responded proudly that I was. She told me she had read a little about transgendered people, and article about if somone was wearing a rubber band on their left wrist it meant they enjoyed cross dressing. Well what followed was one of the most interesting and wonderful converations I have ever had. She had so many questions, and I am no expert, but she listened so intently. Before it was all over I had practically told her my life story. I wished the converstion had never ended. So I guess it just go to show given ttime things catch on. Remeber be proud of who you are, and live life toits fullest. Love Amber L.

I think a green rubber band would look great on my left wrist. I am going to watch for them now, looking forward see some.

Gosh Amber, that's a lovely story! Congratulations on meeting an interested associate! After being enthusiastic about an indicative green wrist band I looked up other potential meanings and there are a few. But one that I found indicates that it is a young person looking for love. Oops. But now looking again, I can't find that item. I've been on the lookout for a cast away green rubber band but the UK seems to be out of them completely. Once I get one, I'll wear it and see if I get any comments!

Hi all,

I sourced some down at my local gym/swimming pool - they use coloured rubber bands to denote timings for users they wear them on the wrist sort of thing.

Got a great collection now!

      Hi all!    I’ve been here numerous years and followed discussions in the shadows. I began my medical transition in 2018. Lost a lot of friends and family, but grew so much along the way!    Fast forward to the surgical journey.   August 2020 - Vaginoplasty  I underwent my vaginoplasty in Austin TX during the start of COVID. It was a rough recovery. I suffered some separation of stitches which landed me having physical restrictions. I then began suffering from hypergranulation within my canal which led me to seeing the GYN twice a week for 13 weeks for silver nitrate treatments. The silver nitrate ended up causing stenosis which led to my next surgery.    April 2021 - Surgical Revision I had a revision of my vaginal canal which helped with dilation…for only 3 weeks! I underwent about 10 months of pelvic floor therapy to no avail. Dilation was near impossible. So this led to my next revision.    April 2022 - Revision and Breast Augmentation   This surgery I decided to do my breast augmentation concurrently. The breast augmentation went phenomenal, no pain, 575cc Silicone implants. Awesome results.    The vaginal revision, both my primary surgeon and an additional surgeon with expertise in complicated pelvic disorders performed the revision together.    immediately I felt amazing after with no issues dilating! I am now 2 years post final revision and have no issues dilating once a week and have sex with no problem!    March 2024- Facial Feminization Surgery   I decided to have FFS after much thought. I had it done at Duke University.  I had the following done:   -Type 3 forehead reconstruction and sinus setback -Cheek implants - Orbital contouring  - Sliding Genioplasty -Submental liposuction    Recovery was not bad. First 5 days were a tad sore and uncomfortable- but honestly minimal pain.      Surgeons Vaginoplasty- Dr. Ashley DeLeon Breast Augmentation- Dr. Gerhard Mundinger FFS- Dr. Elda Fisher    I’m happy to answer any questions!   Kylie

      Contrary to some recommendations we make for members, the Vicky part is just my legal FN and the SGV does give my home location within a few hundred square miles.  When I joined here the Vicky all by itself was taken so I had to add something else to it.
    • Vidanjali
      Vidanjali is a combination of the Sanskrit words "vidya" and "anjali". Vidya means intuitive knowledge or divine knowledge (where its antonym is ignorance) and anjali means offering. For example, in yoga, anjali mudra is the position of hands in prayer at the heart center. So, Vidanjali expresses my desire to be an instrument of illumination and goodwill in the world and to be of service to others.

      My pleasure. I am looking forward to reading it too. I also recommend the Saslow book. Amazing story.   For all, here is the synopsis of Black's new book. Any you'll notice the use of they/them pronouns.   "When coded language and creeping authoritarianism spread the ideas of white nationalists, this is an essential book with a powerful voice. Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet’s first white supremacist website—Derek built the kids’ page. David Duke, was also their close family friend and mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability, was all Derek knew.   Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced white nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused. The majority of their family stopped speaking to them, and they disappeared into academia, convinced that they had done so much harm that there was no place for them in public life. But in 2016, as they watched the rise of Donald Trump, they immediately recognized what they were hearing—the spread and mainstreaming of the hate they had helped cultivate—and they knew that they couldn’t stay silent. This is a thoughtful, insightful, and moving account of a singular life, with important lessons for our troubled times. Derek can trace a uniquely insider account of the rise of white nationalism, and how a child indoctrinated with hate can become an anti-racist adult. Few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the white nationalist movement like Derek, and few have ever made so profound a change."

      I am always fascinated and curious about the names we choose for ourselves on this forum.   Many have me very curious as to the history/reason behind them.  If it's not prying too much and you are willing to share, it would be great to hear the why behind your choice.  I'm actually a little jealous of the creativity here, as my name is anything but creative.  It's just my actual girl name.  Very boring, I know.  But so many of you out there have such unique and thought provoking forum names.

      Greeting & welcome to you, Bobbi! What's your latest good recipe find?
    • Vidanjali
      P.S. Also noting that the synopsis given for the Saslow book was before Black came out and began using they/them pronouns. No disrespect meant.

      Also, before posting any comments here please remember this is the news forum, not the politics forum.

      https://www.them.us/story/former-white-nationalist-kkk-r-derek-black-memoir-trans   According to the article, Derek uses they/them pronouns.   I read the book about Derek Back called "Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist" by Eli Saslow when it came out a few years ago. Absolutely remarkable and inspiring story. Now Black has a new book coming out, "The Klansman's Son, My Journey from White Nationalism to Antiracism".    This is the synopsis of the Saslow book which gives you a snapshot of Black's journey.    "Derek Black grew up at the epicenter of white nationalism. His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned nineteen, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show—already regarded as the "the leading light" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. "We can infiltrate," Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. "We can take the country back."   Then he went to college. At New College of Florida, he continued to broadcast his radio show in secret each morning, living a double life until a classmate uncovered his identity and sent an email to the entire school. "Derek Black ... white supremacist, radio host ... New College student???" The ensuing uproar overtook one of the most liberal colleges in the country. Some students protested Derek's presence on campus, forcing him to reconcile for the first time with the ugliness of his beliefs. Other students found the courage to reach out to him, including an Orthodox Jew who invited Derek to attend weekly Shabbat dinners. It was because of those dinners—and the wide-ranging relationships formed at that table—that Derek started to question the science, history, and prejudices behind his worldview. As white nationalism infiltrated the political mainstream, Derek decided to confront the damage he had done.   Rising Out of Hatred tells the story of how white-supremacist ideas migrated from the far-right fringe to the White House through the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he was taught to believe, at tremendous personal cost. With great empathy and narrative verve, Eli Saslow asks what Derek Black's story can tell us about America's increasingly divided nature."

      The sports thing is problematic.  Whenever a trans girl does well it just hits the fan.  Just this morning I saw something about it again.   I live maybe 10 miles from the SC border.  I suspect the people here are similar.  When I'm out and about most people are polite, and don't seem offended by me - and I don't pass well.  I believe if it wasn't for the GOP fanning the flames this wouldn't be half as big an issue.

      My applause and congratulations to them from a member of the Episcopal Church of the U.S. who's beliefs for full Trans inclusion at all levels of the church  were established by our General Convention of laity and clergy in 2015 are in full harmony and congruence with those resolutions you have reported.
