You Really Are A Great Bunch Of Girls

[Guest Roberta-Belinda]

I .have said this before in a post but may say once again what a great bunch of girls you are on Lauras, I really appreciate your replies to my post and I love reading everyone the posts of others. You are all so helpful, friendly and non judgemental which makes it a pleasure to be a member of this site. It is great pleasure to interact with so many girls on here whether it be through the site or by private message.

From your topics and messages I have come to realise that not everyone is able to dress as often as they like. For a long while I was able tor dress at least once a week, my circumstances have changed and I now on average I can only dress up once a month. My forty two years of crossdressing have been a long journey but thanks in no small pleasure to Lauras, I have been able to embrace and enjoy being my feminine side more and more without guilt.

Love to all,

Belinda

It really is great to hear that you are so comfortable with your feminine side and dressing

I'm not sure if you've seen my posts recently, but basically I'm nowhere near that level of comfort yet. I've decided what I need to do is start again with dressing, and just take it really slowly. I know there's nothing wrong with cross-dressing or feminine feelings, but I'm not acting like that's the truth. Even with my relatives being really helpful and supportive. It all comes down to me not having any self-belief about myself, my feelings and the path I'm going on. And that's something I intend to work on, even if I know that the path ahead will surely not be easy...

It's great to have had so many chats with you, and long may they continue!

Lots of Love and hugs, Lily xxx

Thanks for your kind words Lily. Your confidence will grow in time, I am sure of it. In the meantime you will get plenty of support from us girls. I have got to know you a bit over the last few months. I have every confidence in you.

Love

Belinda

I would agree with you Belinda, even though I have not been here long.

It is nice to know that what I do is not unusual. I generally cope Ok but there are times when I feel so alone and there is no-one to talk about things with. I still get lonely but with dressing and other feminine things just being part of Lauras is help itself!

I must admit that I get very confused with the subject of crossdressing as I tend to mix and match clothing quite a lot. Wear female clothing in male style and male clothing in female style and oddments of either as requirements demand. Being androgyne I wonder if the term is even relevant! I suppose strictly speaking it is and I do but as I say I am confused so don't really relate to it in that way, just do my own thing .

I don't know if it will help Lily but is it of any value to think of clothes as clothes and not put such great emphasis on the term 'crossdressing'. The main reason I wear female clothes is to look and feel good as I find the clothing generally softer and more comfortable than male and closer fitting so I see me, not an untidy blob! I often have to think what I am wearing these days as I wear items of either gender even when out as fully male. It is only when I am wearing a pretty skirt for instance, that I have to go completely female so would fully admit that it is crossdressing. Ok so for me either direction in some respects is crossdressing but essentially it is all about looking and feeling good, not a statement of definition!

Just a few of my confusing thoughts.

Take care

Love

Lily, I'm not sure if I will ever be completely at peace with the notion of crossdressing. I have a sort of love/hate relationship with it. I can go weeks, even months without giving it a thought and then like a sudden thunderstorm it will flood me.

I think your idea of "taking it slowly" a splendid thought. Allow yourself the time and space to find the degree and nature of dressing or not dressing that works for you. Just like clothing, one size doesn't necessarily fit every individual. By experimentation at a pace that feels right for you, find out who you are and what you want to be. Be happy simply being you! Cheers, Kati

I owe a debt to all the wonderful people on this site as well for getting me through my transition. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are able to find a good balance with your femininity

[Guest Wanda Michelle]

I have to echo everyone else's comments. Until I found this site there was a lot of guilt and feeling alone. Though to others around me it is still hidden I have come out to all of you. Since I joined Laura's I feel completely at ease with my feelings. It's nice to have others to chat with that accept and understand.

Hugs,

Wanda

Totally agree with the above comments. This site has been a huge help to me in so many ways. The biggest of which is realizing I am not alone and I am not a freak that needs to hide. I am so happy to have found this place to share my feelings and not be ashamed of who I am. Whenever I read another story of someone's struggles or successes, I get a little stronger and more confident. Big thanks to all!

[Guest sweetcharlene41]

I agree with all of you lady's, YOU ARE A GREAT BUNCH, and VERY HELPFUL, and I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH, THANK YOU ALL. LOTS OF HUGS

[Guest Eve Caillard]

What can I add but that Belinda is right. We should all celebrate who we are and this wonderful forum! This is not the work of one, but the cumulative community of many who are both friends and advisors, sounding boards and (in a way) counsellors. Yay to us all!

Hey Ashleigh - I think I am a freak - but not because of the dressing. I think that is the most normal thing about me. So if people think the CD is a problem, wait until I really get going! (LOL)

Hugs.
