Hi ladies,
It’s been a busy last few weeks for me. Between Christmas shopping, decorating and trying to snag some downtime from some rough days at work I’ve missed you girls! Thanks to all of you who submitted your Crossdresser Success Stories (If you have one you’d like to share you can do so here) – they’ll start showing up on Crossdresser Heaven in the next few weeks.
I’d also like to thank all you wonderful ladies who sent me lovely emails about Crossdresser Heaven. You make my day! I’ve tried to respond to each of you personally, but if somehow I’ve missed you please know that I deeply appreciate your kind words.
Have you received a Crossdressing Christmas Gift?
I love giving Christmas gifts. My wife will sometimes chastise me for going overboard and pilling on presents and stocking stuffers and, well, just about anything I can find I think she’ll like. I love almost everything about Christmas – the gifts, lights, decorations even Christmas music is great – at least until 9pm on the 25th 
Nearly every year my wife will surprise me with a crossdressing Christmas gift or two. Whether it’s jewelry, a cute article of clothing, or some special makeup I wouldn’t normally purchase for myself – my wife truly makes me feel special with these gifts. Far beyond the gift itself, her love and acceptance is wrapped up as well. Just a few months ago I received a lovely surprise crossdressing gift from my wife.
Loading ...We Are Tall Crossdressers
Last Crossdressing Poll I asked you how tall are you? Well dears, many of us grace the skies with our height – almost 40% of us are over 6′, and about the same as those of us who are under 5′9″ – the perfect passing height
It reminds me of an episode of Dr. Phil I was watching a few weeks ago. He had two very tall ladies on his show, one was a 6′7″ basketball player, and another was a 6′4″ athlete (I forget the sport). Both of them wore fabulous 3″ heels and looked absolutely stunning. The topic of discussion was whether parents should change characteristics of a child when they’re growing up (like given them more growth hormone to help them grow taller, or for girls – to make other changes so that they grow to a more normal height).
The consensus from the towering beauties was that they appreciated their height. The attitudes of their families, and then themselves to their height helped them achieve things other more minutely proportioned woman would have found very difficult. They didn’t shrink from the world because they were different – rather, they shone brightly because of it!
So whether you’re 5′7″ or 7′5″ – enjoy your height – it’s the only one you’ve got…

I hope your festive season has been a blessed one so far, best wishes to you and your family. May your days be merry and sales be plentiful!
Vanessa is a happily married 30 year old transgendered woman from Seattle. It's been a long road to acceptance for her, despite the fact that she has been crossdressing for more than 25 years. Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror she longs to see the girl that lives
within her.

My ex-wife was always very supportive and loved me for my true self. She never bought me male clothing unless it was something to wear on stage with my band. It didn’t have to be Christmas or my birthday. She would surprise me with many wonderful things throughout the year, and much of it was female clothing, lingerie, jewelry, cosmetics, etc.
After my divorce, I had dated a few different women who were all supportive of my female side. I would get feminine gifts from most of them. I also get nice gifts from friends of mine. Some that I did not expect to be supportive of me actually give me some of the best gifts! lol
One girl I dated for about a year or so, I don’t know, she was kind of weird about it. She said she supported me 100% and that I should be able to be who I am and be proud at home or out in public, but then she would freak out if she came home and I was crossdressed because, she would ask, “What if I had brought a friend home with me and they saw you like that?” So she had more hang ups about what other people think than I ever had. But at the same time, not only would she buy me feminine gifts, but her parents would buy me female clothing and other nice things for Christmas.
I asked her what she was going to feel like when I started living full time as Racquel, taking hormones and getting a boob job. She said she’d handle that when the time came.
But she was gone as soon as she found a guy she thought had more money. She found out he was a fraud about 6 months later.
But back to the subject, she did get me nice things for Christmas!
Oh, and one other thing. Most of my friends know, but not everyone in my family, which is changing as I have been coming out more to family members. Although I do believe that some either suspect, or they know that I crossdress, but do not know I am intending on pursuing surgery at some point. But I do know that a few more do know since I woke up in the hospital the day after my car accident a few years ago and was laying in bed with a shirt and panties on. They had taken my jeans off at some point when I got to the hospital. I was out for a whole day, so not sure exactly when I got “exposed” lol.
It used to be pretty much garanteed that I would get a package of mens underwear every year for Christmas and Birthday. Usually a pack from my Mom and another pack from my Dad. And although nothing has been said about me having panties on in the hospital, and they are not buying me panties, they have at least stopped buying me mens underwear. I have not owned or worn a pair of mens underwear in about 15 years now. When I got them as a gift, I would put them away and usually wind up giving them away. But I have not even gotten any as a gift since November 2004. lol I guess now they know better.
By the way, wish me luck as I think I am going to have a good day this coming Saturday to finally come out to my Mom. We will finally have a little time alone together to talk, so if nothing else comes up, I will be introducing her to the real me!
How did it go love?
Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. She has a boyfriend who is a real jerk and I don’t want to discuss this with him around. He was supposed to have gone out of town to his sisters for a Christmas party, but he found an excuse not to go. He is very unsociable and doesn’t like being around people and he does nothing all day except sit in front of a TV and watch football 24/7 when he is not sleeping.
I honestly don’t know why she ever wanted to be with him, but now she is trying to get rid of him. She just needs the financial means to be able to kick him to the crub. So I am working really hard to get my business going full time so I can help her with that.
Anyway, since you never know how someone is going to react to the revealation, I am wanting to have at least a couple of hours alone at home with her, so that she has time if she wants to cry, scream, yell or whatever to have it out of her system before he returns and I know she will have a ton of questions as well.
Like I have said before in another post, she at least knows part of it because she was there when I woke up in the hospital the day after my car wreck wearing only a shirt and panties because they had taken my jeans off at some point at the hospital. Niether of us has ever brought that up, so we have never discussed that.
I don’t know if she may have heard the rest from other family members who do know the whole story or not, but I have a feeling that she is in some way prepared for it even if she doesn’t know the whole story.
I think it will hit her hard in a way, but I think she will also be very understanding and supportive. Besides, she always wanted 2 boys and 2 girls, but I was the 4th boy, so she gave up trying for a girl after me, but little does she know! lol Even if it is 42 years later, at least she will have a daughter. Maybe just not the way she had planned it back then! lol
I know my dad will not take it well at all, but the only reason I don’t tell him is because I know he has a bad heart and I know it will majorly upset him. Too much of a chance that it could literally kill him, but at the same time, I feel like I am going to have to start being Racquel full time, so there is a heavy delima in my heart over that at the moment.
I don’t want the news about Racquel to kill my Dad, but I also can’t go on much longer as a male. On top of everything else, my Dad picked the time years ago, when I was beginning full time transition to become deeply religious. Nothing wrong with being deeply religious, I myself am Christian, but he tends to lean towards the groups that are more judgemental and homophobic, etc. This was not the time he had had his first heart attack, but it was the time that he started having more heart trouble and had his second heart attack. There were many times we thought we were going to lose him, but I am greatful that we haven’t lost him yet. But I was thinking I would just put Racquel on the back burner and keep it a secret from the family for just a little while, not expecting him to be around as long as he has. He has amazed us several times over the years. He had a heart transplant and wound up getting much stronger again and has done well, although he has had a few ups and downs over the last couple of years.
While I only have one life to live myself and believe that I deserve to live it being my true self and being comepletely happy, I also would not trade all the time I can have with my Dad as I can have for anything else in the world.
My Mom is also having heart trouble at the moment, but I don’t think finding out about Racquel will be anything that she can’t handle. She has been dealing with the loss of one of my brothers earlier this year, which is a lot on her, but she has actually handled that way better than I had expected.
If I can just get her alone long enough for the initial conversation and let her get out any initial shock and emotions, without her boyfriend sticking his nose into it and wanting to know what’s going on, then we can talk pretty much any other time after that when he is around because he never moves from in front of the TV. lol
It is way beyond time to talk to her about this, so I guess I may have to take her for a ride somewhere where we can talk.
I have one brother who knows, my oldest brother does not, but his wife (even though they are bothvery religious) is very family oriented and a great person that I feel would be supportive and understanding. I think maybe I could talk to her and she would let me take my Mom over there and even help me talk to her.
I just know it’s gotta happen soon!
It really sucks to have gone as far as I did only to have to go part way back into the closet again. But it is for my Dad. Not worried that he won’t accept me, just don’t want his ticker to stop.
The only thing that bothers me is if he hears it from someone else.
I would much rather he hear it from me than from someone else, so that is another angle I worry about.
I should’ve just started wearing dresses when I was a kid and he would have been used to it by now! lol (gotta laugh about it!)
Well as for me I’d have 2 say that itz pathetic that I have only 1 person dat supportz me. Even more pathetic dat my own family don’t support it outside of halloween But itz ok. I do get sum thangs fr my friend dat does support me. She getz me a few thangz here and there. We sumtimes get eachotha stuff haha but who knows mab this christmas mite be diff even if I have 2 hide it fr my brother. Itd b nice 2 get sumtin dat I actually wantd fo a change, plus diz year my mom sendin me a gift card so I also thought bout treatin myself for a change. Anywayz sorry that it so long I also wanted 2 say I love readin the comments and stories cuz it kinda helps me out in the process
At Christms time I never get any female gifts from my wife so I treat myself. Shopping is always fun for me but at Christmas there are so many more fun outfits to shop for and the prices are fabulous anymore. Yes I get the after Christmas bargains also. I cant believe I never enjoyed shopping for male clothing. I never would go to a store shopping for mens cloths as it was always so boring. Pants, shirt, shoes. Same style same colors. Female cloths are exciting just to look at. Dresses have so many shapes and styles and colors, need I go on. Christmas is my time a of year to enjoy being a woman.
Gift cards are nice. That way, people can support your crossdressing without even knowing it sometimes! lol
During the year, I usually only purchase things for my business that will help make me money. Of course, I purchase clothing, etc. from time to time, but my focus, most of the time is making my business work and not buying fancy stereos and gadgets that I really don’t need, etc. Clothing is the one thing that is both luxury and necessity, so I do spend on that when I can.
But Christmas and Birthdays, when people get me gift cards, I try to use those just for myself and for my own enjoyment, depending on where the gift card is from. Some people know and support me and will give me gift cards for womens clothing stores, others may give me a gift card to someplace like Sears, where I can use it for many things, such as electronics, tools, or clothing, etc. Unless there is something else I really want or need, I will usually buy clothing/lingerie, etc.
(if some people only knew how many times they have bought me dresses, bras, panties, etc. lol)
Hiya
Anyways, I have a friend who has supported my crossdressing since I came out about a month ago, so shopping is not always a big problem for me, she helps out 100%
My Parents and my Sister are just starting to accept me as Emily however it will take time as this is Emily’s first Christmas, so we will see how it all pans out.
Good luck, Emily. I hope it goes well for you and you have the merriest Christmas ever.
I was planning on coming out to my mother yesterday. Most of my friends have known about me for a long time and only a few family members. I know my mom knows part of it, since I woke up in the hospital a few years ago in a shirt and panties, but it has never been mentioned. But she doesn’t know the whole story, that I plan on going all the way with surgery, unless someone else has told her.
Thought I was going to have a good chance to talk with her alone yesterday, but it didn’t happen. Not sure when I will have my next opportunity. I would very much love to spend Christmas with the family as Racquel this year.
Thank you Racquel Lynn, have a great Christmas,
just a bit of advice well more learned from my own experience of coming out to my parents is to err on the side of caution, take it one step at a time especially because you plan on going all the way, it may not sit too well at first.
my experience was as that I had to explain what cross dressing was, when I started doing it and why I’m doing it, followed by 101 questions from my sister who took it rather well, considering I was 17 when I first started cross dressing and no one knew about it.
Good luck, hope you get the opportunity to talk with your mum soon, just explain slowly and in detail your feelings and most of all don’t be nervous
Have a very Merry Christmas
That’s wonderful Emily. Have a wonderful Christmas
Just wanted to wish my lovely sisters in the TG community, as well as those who love and support a crossdresser and/or other transgendered person in their lives, a very safe and Merry Christmas!
Love
Racquel
Hi girls
I wanted to wait until after Christmas before I answered because I knew my lovely girlfriend was going to surprise me again and wanted to share the latest gift. She and I have shared four Christmases together and each time I (vicki) has found at least one special gift under the tree. This year was no different than last, and except for year one the item has been the most intimate a girl can wear. So again this year I proudly wear my new panties, two pair actually this year, and as she told me, it’s the first step each time you go to your feminine side. I am very grateful to have a woman in my life who supports me and is willing to help me be my whole self.
Vicki
They say that whatever you are doing on New Years Day is what you will be doing all year long. So I am planning to go out New Years Eve as Racquel and also spend all of new years day as Racquel. Let’s test that theory! lol
I am going to attempt to reveal my true self to my Mother at some point this week Since last week did not work out like I had planned.
