Are You Thankful For Being A Crossdresser?

A very happy thanksgiving to you, yours, and your many friends and fans here in Cross Dresser Heaven. So glad to have met you on my journey.

I 'D BE MORE THANKFUL IF I WAS BORN A GIRL,,, I'VE ALWAYS HAD THE FEELING IN ME I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONE,, BUT HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE IN HERE... MELONY

We should be all thankful each morning, when we wake up. As we take this road as a transgender. Ask for blessing for family and friends.

I have been a "closet" crossdresser since I was 10 yrs old. I am now in my mid 30's and still enjoy dressing up.Even though I only dress in private and plan to stay in the "closet" as I have so much fun dressing up even if I am only walking around the house in a dress or skirt. I am very thankful for being a crossdresser.I have become very sensitive over the years and have found I have a very strong feminine ego. I dress up every night when i get home and I am always buying something feminine when i go shopping which is another rush with being a CD.I guess maybe since I am submissive to the female sex i am also submissive towards my feminine ego.

I am thankful for being a crossdresser for a lot of reasons. But as I was just roaming about the house thinking about this question, the main reason I am thankful I am a crossdresser is because if I hadn't been, I would never have met the love of my life, my gf Molly.She is a rare gem ladies, she gets us, and mostly she gets me. It was through a CD site that we met, and when we met in r/t we fell in love. The rest is history.
So for my love, my all, my blessing from God, for I truly believe he put her in my life, I give thanks

Hello to all our Sisters,my name is Leona and i have finally and greatfully have come to except who i am. And that is a 56yr. old transgender. I wish that i could say that it had been easy steps for me.But the truth is i felt ashamed and torrmented that a man would or could feel the way i did. I found myself looking to all kinds of differant ways to suppress how i was and who i denyed for so long. But i met a person that i could be completly honest and open to. To top it off she came from a background that i never would have thought. But where she came from is not important right now. When we first met i did not open to her that i was a transgender. I still had those old feelings of shame. But as our friendship grew and trust developed i could not or wanted to hide any longer. That is the greatest guilt. We hide not from others but more from ourselves. I opened to my friend and the release and shame started to slip away. Iknow now that my journy is not an insult to my Creator. But that i am living the life that was placed there long before i knew what my life was. Thanks to this true friend i no longer shy away to my room to express Leona. I know that our lives are short and that shame and guilt can and will hold us back from expressing that person that is loved by the Great Spirit. I have so far to go. SO many years of denial and shame to erase. But i am LEONA loved by the one who gave me this treasure. I am not ashamed any longer to be trangender. And i will do my very best to live this life, my life to its full potentual. PEACE TO ALL MY SISTERS.

If there had been an 'other' selection... 🙂

Personally, I think it's a combination of the items you put on the poll. Sure, there were some bad times - in the early days - but hardly at all now (dare I say that? 🙂 ). Now it's just good fun. I have trans friends - real and internet - who I can be open and honest with. I'm not so worried about the whole dressing up shebang, now I just accept and enjoy the occasions where I can be pretty (or at least try to).

I just had a sudden flash of knowledge this evening, and felt Ishould share it with the community. I realized why I have just now decided I must "come out of the closet." I don't paticularly WANT to pass, per se - what I want is to be accepted wearing what society normally considers to be be female clothing. Becaue I work from home, I am able most of the time, to go around the house wearing whatever makes me feel good about myself. I don't dress "over the top"; that is, my dress is fairly conservative by any standards, except that I am very obviously male (and happy to remain so, thank you very much) but I wear women's clothing. I DO have boobs, partly because I have been on Saw Palmetto fro about three years for BPH, but also because I like having them, and have embarked on the Flat to Fem program to develop breasts. (Let's face it - they are nice toys, and it feels good to play with them) So I can wear a bra (36 B) and fill it without wearing breast forms. But I have no hips and am definately a "flat-ass white boy", so need padding in that department. So I don a four-pad girdle, and a bra, then whatever I want to wear for the day - usually a conservative top, jeans and a pair of flats, or low heeled boots. I keep that same clothing on when I walk out to get the mail, or if I drive somewhere that I do not have to get out of the car and go inside. But it is a genuine PITA to have to change into drab if I decide I want to go to the grocery store, or the bank, or something of that sort. So I feel I am being forced by society to learn to pass. I wonder how namy others are in my same position?

I did take a fem name - a woman, born in my family in the mid 1800's, who was a lesbian. So you can call me either David, or Elizabeth. And thank you SO MUCH for having this forum! You can but imagine .how much it has meant to me, to be able to know I am not alone.

This is the first time I post. Your website is so wonderful. All you girls are brave and lovely in and out. God has bless us all.

To all darling sisters.
I love to wear fem underclothes, Started in puberty, now I am 57. I had denied this to myself for so many years until recently somehow the urge came back. I never married and am hetero, so the urge was very strong and I indulged some. To my dismay, I feel soooo afraid, fearful that I will be in an accident or something really wrong will happen to me, something like God´s punisment, so I do use them only indoors. I tried a new item and to my scock had an accident that left my nose broken in 8 parts. Is it I am being punished by God? I would really like to hear from other CD´s who share this fear with me. <god Bless and thank you. Warmest wishes for the season.

Hi Ladies
I have never had an opportunity to openly say what I feel until i found this site. Thankyou so much!
I have been a lover of feminine things - mainly lingerie, since as early as mid primary school. I used to sneak into my sisters room to get some of their panties to wear to make me excited and it has grown and continued to the present time. I am now 49 years old but still in the closet.
I am married and have two sons aged 4 and 12. I have tried to come out through discussing with my wife via fantasy play but she tells me she is repulsed by trans people. So I feel I have no real support here.
I know deep down that I should have been born a female and would love to be able to make the transition for real instead of in my mind.
I have puchased lots of panties, as I no longer allow myself to wear male undies and I wear panties every day. I have a skirt and strapless dress some Bras and breastforms of which I havecto hide in my desk at work so my wife doesn't discover them. I also purchased lipsticks and foundations.
I long for the day when I can be my true self as a woman without the fear of ridicule from my family and friends.
I am so happy that I have been able to express myself hee as a start on my journey home.
Thankyou and Merry Christmas to all my lovely sisters.

Hi Regina, never allow you "true self" to disappear.

I understand that you have small children at this time in your life. They depend on you and that should be your upmost priority.

I also had to live in the "closet" for many years when raising my 4 children. They are all grown, my oldest 23 youngest 15. Only my youngest daughter is accepting of me. ( I have not opened up to my other children,my boys are 19,oldest daughter 23 )I also have a step daughter who is very accepting along with her boyfriend. It is a great support to have along them along with my amazing wife,but it has taken a long time.

So Regina, do not give up. Dress when you can (with caution) and enjoy and cherish those moments. The time will come when you will be able to express "Regina" more often.

Be strong and know that you have many other sisters that are going and have been in your situation.

Our prayer and thoughts are with you... Stay safe and stay sexy and God bless. Ronnie

Reading all these posts gives me a view of the diversity of gender expression. Since I was about 10 I felt as though I wanted to be a girl. By 14 Envied them so much it really bugged me. When other boys were watching them, I was wanting to be one of them. I have always had business, or personal friends who got in the way of moving foward with this, and while Ive been out for years, Im finally going to get myself right as Ive retired, and friends have drifted away. Been on hormones years ago, have nice real boobies, Im so proud of, and still have good legs. which I still love to show off. Im old now, but still am pretty when dressed. Thats the most important thing in my life right now. The hurting though has been a burden all these years, but now Im going into the new year with a smile, and I wish all of you blessings and happiness in the future. Carol ann.

I am extremely grateful for being the person I am. My only regret is that I can't outwardly be more the woman I always feel inside.
