The Internet has allowed crossdressers from across the world to take the first step out the closet without leaving the house. There are so many resources and communities available online that even the most timid transgender need not live a life alone in fear. If you’re new to the transgender community I highly recommend you look around the site, you can find an overview of transgender resources here.
Yet humans are naturally social creatures. Even with all the information available online and friends just a facebook away we long for the comfort and companionship of others. Others who understand us, others who love us, and others who will give us support through our crossdressing journey.
Crossdressing Support…Please?
In search of a crossdressing support group
I’m often asked in email for details on local clubs that support crossdressers. The Tri-Ess chapter list is usually a great place to start, but Tri-Ess is just one organization. There are many other organizations that do a great job supporting crossdressers, transsexuals and anyone involved in the transgender community.
While I know of a few places in Seattle, I must admit that I’m at a loss for pretty much the rest of the world. Even if I had intimate knowledge of every crossdressing support group in the USA, I’ve heard a rumor that there are actually a lot of people who don’t live here – funny that 
I don’t want any crossdresser to suffer alone because they didn’t have a group to reach out to. I’d like to create a comprehensive resource that includes information about transgender support groups from all around the world. But I can’t do this without your your help!
Share Local Crossdresser Support Groups
Please send me details about any crossdresser support groups you know about by email to vanessalaw@crossdresserheaven.com
Within a few weeks I’ll devote a section of Crossdresser Heaven specifically to helping you find local crossdresser support groups in your area. Please only send me groups that offer support in person, whether it’s meetings, outings or other support activities. And include:
- Name of the group
- City, State and Country where they meet
- Website address (if available)
- Contact name and number
- Any other notes that would be helpful (e.g. if the group is dedicated to supporting wives of crossdressers)
Thank you for helping a sister reach out and find acceptance. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Excellent idea Vanessa, and I guess better a little late than not at all. It should enhance your site, and hopefully you will collect a lot of good information. I found the event I went to (BatB) on a couple of sites, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of other information about smaller or more localized meetings. It seems to filter through support groups, word of mouth or email, but doesn’t get out beyond that. I’ll share anything else I come across.
Keep up the good work, as always, JamieGhee
Thanks JamieGhee,
As a challenge to all the folks living in the US and Europe – the first reply I received was for a crossdressing club in Brazil – send me info on any local crossdressing clubs you know about
There’s a link in the Roses wiki to various but mostly UK based groups. I hope that helps!

I am on the hunt for a group in the Albuquerque NM area. I am new to the trasgender life and have issues at home; my wife(although she is a wonderful lady) cant seem to get her mind around me wanting to cross dress. She is not totally against it since she will come shoping with me and help me choose outfits; however she doesnt want to see me dressed.
I am more comfortable when dressed than I am as a male; despite having tried to talk to her and reassure her that she is not going to loose me, and that my love for her is just as strong as it ever was she still says that she feels like laughing when she sees someone crossdressed. I have resited the temptation to ask if this applied to gender females in men’s clothing (I suspect not). The first time she said that was the day she gave me a gift of my first blouse, you talk about confused.
Since I can’t do this openly I have to be content to get my ’skirt time’ when I can and then just dream of a time when I can dress the way I want and not face the hostility of my spouse.
Does anyone know how to overcome this hostility and allow me, in my own home, to be who I desire to be and still have my partner with me?
Love
Joanna

thanks so much for getting this started! i’m a soon-to-be 35 yo who is still struggling mightily with this. i come from a large family and i don’t ever want them to know. the same goes for most of my friends, though i think i could live with anyone who didn’t want to be my friend because of it, so i guess it’s mainly the family issue. i often feel trapped and endure much self loathing over it, so your effort to organize this is *really* appreciated!
with love,
amy

Hi Sarah CD here from JHB would love to chat
Hi vanessa,Great idea for an area on this site for a listing of support groups. I’m so tempted to set up a group here in my area. Right now, the only group near me is a Tri-Ess chapter in Atlanta. That’s just a bit more than I feel like doing on a regular basis. If you know of a group anywhere in the “Centeral Savanah River Area” of Georgia, or are interested in helping to start a social/support group,contact me thru this site(if that’ OK with you Vanessa). I will get back to you.
