Welcome to Crossdresser Heaven, a safe and welcoming place for everyone in the crossdresser community.
Join Crossdresser Heaven today to participate in the forums.
There are many thousands of places that will greet a crossdresser or trans girl with a smile. We drive by them everyday, and most of the time we don’t give them a second thought. I myself have passed several places, wondering if I could feel comfortable stopping in, but didn’t do so. Ultimately, I end up going to places where I feel safe. Over the years, many such places have earned our business by accepting and catering to girls like us. For example, there are around 1385 Ulta stores in the US. I have heard many wonderful stories of CDH girls that frequent them for their beautification goals. Additionally, there are over 2700 Sephora stores in 35 countries around the world. Lots of us girls go to these, and feel comfortable and welcome. My point in all of this is to tap into a knowledge base that can help all of us find our place in the world. CDH is eager to help, and this is how we can do it.
We are excited to start a contest in February, to find and document the local places that our members know and love.
We want to have a list of providers that we know are accepting of the LGBTQIA+ community and we will use YOUR contributions to accomplish this. The contest will start on Monday, February 3rd 2025 and will run for 2 months, ending on FIND A RAINBOW DAY - April 3rd. The member who has the most local places published in that time will receive a free 1-year Princess membership. Second and third places receive a free 1-year Duchess and Baroness membership, respectively. To be eligible for any prize, a minimum of 25 entries will be required. I have done as many as 8 in one evening after dinner so, 25 over 2 months is quite doable. The site owner, Vanessa Law, has also agreed that during the contest period, every 25 entries will earn that contributor a 2-month Duchess-level membership. 50 entries will translate to 4 months, and so on. We also want everyone to be kept informed of how the contest is going. So, as the contest proceeds, there are going to be multiple badges, as well as updates on the home page. All the award winners will receive a special badge prominently displayed on their profile page for everyone to see. During the contest, any member that gets 10 places published will earn a badge to celebrate their contribution. These are the rules for this contest. 1) To qualify for a Local Places entry, the place's title, description, a category, and a website address will be required. (A Facebook page qualifies as a website, as does their Instagram or Twitter/X.) 2) Two out of three of the following will also be required: Phone, Email, Contact Person. 3) The place description needs to be a minimum of 7 words long. 4) All submissions should be appropriate for the audience. CDH will remain PG-rated. 5) Chain stores will not be accepted for this contest. If the listing you are submitting has more than 20 locations it will be considered a chain store. 6) Submissions need to be uploaded using the Local Places submission form. If you click HERE, you'll be taken right to the form to get started. 7) Please be discreet. Check with every establishment you intend to submit an entry for, and make sure they are comfortable having their contact information released. 8) Every establishment submitted as a Local Places entry needs to be actively doing business at the time it is submitted. 9) Establishments submitted need to be regarded as safe and accepting of our membership. Please use good judgement. 10) Duplicate entries will only be awarded to the first person to submit them. We have editors that will be checking each submission for accuracy and relevance. We won’t be able to respond to each submission personally, but we will do our best to publish each submission in a timely manner. You can then look your listing up using the search bar in the Local Places section of CDH. I am coming up on 5 years of being a part of this wonderful community. I have grown personally, relying on the help, support and generosity of everyone here at CDH. Talk with your friends and help make this contest a success for all of us. Hugs, Bree
I don't know why this article is (currently) showing as written by me. I edited and published it, but the author is Bree Heath @midwesterngirl, all credit belongs to her! A site software issue, I imagine?
great Idea !
Oh My goodness....Its only like 17 days until This contest starts. This ain't the Oscars but I would like to thank Vanessa, Liz, Kaye, and Lynne for helping this come together. I have been working in the local places space for a while now and I believe this contest will be great for all of Us. Before the Contest was a thing, I had a few conversations with local providers near me. It is wonderful to talk to people that accept and welcome a very diverse population. I have submitted 95 local places so far. (I'm not eligible for the prizes so, don't worry). I think I have picked someone to actually give me a makeover. She was so nice.
You ladies ARE CDH and I want to thank you for participating and allowing me to be a part of your community.

Hey Girls
I was thinking about the contest today and wanted to share a thought on one of the rules.
3. The place description needs to be a minimum of 7 words long.
I can have a difficult time describing things and sometimes my words come out all wrong.(I think there’s a country song in there somewhere). I usually copy and paste the description that I see on the providers website. Facebook has an About page where this can come from also.
So, if your local place has that you would be just fine copying and pasting that info.
I hope to be very busy when the contest starts..

I have found getting some businesses email can be a challenge.. web site & phone number.. no problem
I was thinking about the contest as it draws closer. I hope that you girls that live in smaller areas contribute as well. It may seem like a small town provider or friendly venue wouldn't be helpful to us girls. I would like to see more small town listing. I know just by the numbers that Girls like us are everywhere. Maybe even a small town neighbor. Your local places might help another girl find her way out of the closet.
Thank you

When does the listings get released?
Great question. In a perfect world The submissions will be checked on a daily basis. If there is a problem with authentication of the submission it may be delayed. If the editors are very busy also we may not get to everybody's submission right away. I will keep everybody updated has the contest goes along.
