Many of you who visit Crossdresser Heaven today may notice something odd. Parts of the site appear blacked out, as if a malicious censor has wrested my freedom of speech from me and left me with nothing but the shallow unobjectionable message. I’ve done this to stand in solidarity with thousands of other websites across the Internet who are protesting the greatest threat to the Internet.

This threat comes in the form of two bills before the House and the Senate in the US Congress, called SOPA and PIPA. These bills would give anyone the power to shut down a website without due process or judicial review. If these were in effect ten years ago there would be no Google, no Facebook. There would be no YouTube and no Twitter.

Lovely ladies, if this bill was law there would be no Crossdresser Heaven. The many thousands of crossdressers and transgender women who have found encouragement and solace would be left alone and isolated. I urge you to stand up for the Internet and the freedom of speech it represents by calling your congressman and urging them not to support SOPA (in the House) or PIPA (in the Senate). Please share this with as many of your friends as you can.

You can learn more about these bills on this website or by watching the video below. Thank you for your time, and for helping to preserve not only this website, but the Internet for future generations.

Update: Google just released a site with more information about Internet censorship – this is a valuable resource for you.

Love and blessings,
Vanessa

I’ve partnered with the Breast Form Store to offer you a chance to win a free pair of Gold Seal Classic II Breast Forms just in time for the holiday season. Head over to Transgender Heaven for more details on the competition and how to enter.

While the breast forms are designed for transgender woman just starting on hormone replacement therapy, they’re also good for crossdressers who have a little extra (lucky you!) in their breast area. Since the breast forms feature a concave back they give you the cleavage you want while providing enough room to accommodate what God and hormones has blessed you with.

The competition closes soon – hurry over to and enter to win a free pair of breast forms.

I’m blessed to have sponsors who support Crossdresser Heaven. They help pay the web hosting and bandwidth bills so I can keep the site up and running. While I generally don’t talk about folks who advertise on the site, I wanted to make an exception for a great company who has been a sponsor of Crossdresser Heaven for many years, and recently began sponsoring my new website detailing my journey to womanhood, Transgender Heaven.

The Breast Form Store has been a part of the transgender community for almost two decades, and provides high quality breast forms, wigs and other necessities for crossdressers and transgender woman. I bought a few pairs of breast forms from them 2-3 years ago, back before nature (and estradiol) blessed me with my own pair. I’ve heard nothing but good things about them from others, so can only recommend them highly if you’re looking to enhance your crossdressing experience.

If you’d like to advertiser on Crossdresser Heaven, please send me an email: vanessalaw1@gmail.com with some details about your website, and I’ll get back to you with a list of the opportunities available.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…

Crossdresser Heaven's new beginning

Dear Readers,

A few days ago I promised to continue maintaining Crossdresser Heaven, and posting valuable resources for crossdressers and those who love them. Even though I’ll be sharing more of my personal journey on transgenderheaven.com I’ve got two exciting changes to announce to Crossdresser Heaven.

The first change is to license all content on Crossdresser Heaven for anyone to use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license. This means that you’re free to share, reuse, mash up, take paragraphs and snippets and use how you please on your own website, in newsletters or anywhere else you’d like to. You only need to provide attribution to the original source (a link to www.crossdresserheaven.com for example). You can do this all without ever contacting me, though naturally I’d be interested to see where you use my content.

The second change is a refresh of the visual look and feel of Crossdresser Heaven. The site is now cleaner, faster and easier to navigate. Since this is brand new, please let me know if you have any issues with the site so I can take a look.

I can’t tell you how excited I am that I can now offer resources and advice with a sharper focus on crossdressers – a blessed set of folks within the broader transgender community.

With love,
Vanessa

As I progress further in my journey to womanhood I’ve had ample time to reflect on where my voyage began. My first post to Crossdresser Heaven was the innocuously entitled ‘Hello‘ that I shared with the Internet on January 27th 2008 – 3 years, 7 months and 11 days ago. At the time I thought I was a crossdresser, embarking on this journey to understand these strange longings within me, and hopefully to purge this demon from my mind. Many of my earliest postings dwelled on how to cure crossdressing as I furiously sought to save my soul, sanity and the sureness of my marriage.

This wasn’t the first time that I had tried desperately to understand myself, but it was when I first began in earnest on a quest that would stop at nothing less than finding a cure. As constant readers would know, my journey was at times arduous and tiring, but the joy of self discovery kept me moving forward.

Today I’m here to share two things with you. The cure for crossdressing I discovered, and the launch of a new website to share my continued pilgrimage to gender enlightenment.

The Cure for Crossdressing

I transitioned in November 2010, and for the last 10 months I have neither crossdressed, nor felt any desire to. I’m not only comfortable in my gender expression and role, but happier than I have ever been. Cure would not be a generous enough word to describe my experience, because transitioning has done more than just remove uncomfortable compulsions. Transitioning has been like a rebirth – colors seem brighter, tastes are sweeter and life is more joyful than I could have ever dreamed or imagined.

Yet this is also why I need to find another way to share my gender sojourn in a more authentic manner. To be honest, I have struggled to share my inner self on Crossdresser Heaven lately because the title is no longer something I identify with. I’m not a crossdresser, and I found it difficult to be true when the very title of what I was sharing was not.

I feel compelled to share my story, if only to make one other person’s burden a bit lighter. I’m excited to announce a brand new website – one where I am comfortable sharing my truth again. I invite you to head on over to www.transgenderheaven.com and join me in my gender peregrination.  You can also subscribe to receive regular updates from Transgender Heaven.

What will become of Crossdresser Heaven?

I have a deep love and care for all who are going through their own struggle with gender. Both for those whose struggle is internal, as well as those who stand alongside them. I have received hundreds of emails and notes from those who are desperately seeking answers – my heart goes out to them, and I couldn’t in good conscience let a valuable resource for the broader gender community fall into disrepair.

Crossdresser Heaven will continue to operate, with a renewed focus on those just beginning their exploration of gender. I will post more articles that are particularly relevant to crossdressers. From makeup and fashion tips, to questions about telling loved ones, or how to deal with the initial conflicting emotions. I think this will allow me to better serve the community, and let you get answers quicker to your questions.

I am excited about what lies ahead, and would be blessed if you would continue to be by my side.

With love and blessings,
Vanessa
