Crossdressing Success Stories are real stories from crossdressers who have overcome fear and self-doubt to let their feminine beauty emerge. Their story of success may be one of triumph over adversity, or the blossoming of a special relationship of openness with those they love. Perhaps the crossdresser's wife played an even more integral part of their success story.
Share Your Crossdressing Success Story
Please share your crossdressing success story, it only takes a moment and your crossdressing victory will encourage a sister who is just exploring her transgendered nature. I’ll post your story on Crossdresser Heaven within a few weeks.
Meet Mandy
I'm a 31 year old white male, heterosexual, and live in the Seattle area. I've had the desire to crossdress for about as long as I can remember.
Mandy's Crossdressing Success Story
I think it started when I was maybe 5 or 6? My best friend, a girl, lived across the street from me. She was really big into dance, and as such, had lots of different costumes. I remember she had me try on one of her pink tutu's one day (don't know why.... she probably thought it'd be funny.) I remember once I put it on, the embarassment went away and I felt oddly comfortable, and even satisfied. For awhile, every time I went over to her house, I wanted to try on the tutu. The humor in it wore off eventually, and I started to experiment on my own. I remember taking naps in the afternoon when home, and while mom was at the other end of the house watching her soaps, I'd sneak into her room and steal a few things from her drawers.
Taking mom's stuff, or stuff from female friends and cousins, was all I did up until I moved out and lived on my own. Thank God for the JCPenney catalog, and the internet. I ordered myself a decent amount of underwear (that actually FIT!), then sort of lost interest in it all for awhile. Don't know why. A good few years went by where I still had the free time to do it, just never really did. When the opportunity came to move across the country for a job, I took that as the chance to pitch everything (purge... I know, "don't do it!!!") as I thought I was done with all of it. It wasn't until I told my wife about it a few years later that I got back into it, through her encouragement.
I'm now married, have an amazing wife who loves and accepts everything about me, and is willing (sometimes pushing) me to explore the depths of my interest in it all. I've learned a lot this last year, and am loving it more than ever! Hopefully, with the wife's help, I'll work up to a night out or something fully dressed 🙂

It warms my heart to hear stories where the crossdressers wife plays such a positive and affirming role. I know that many crossdressers agonize over their wife's acceptance, often keeping their secret for many years beyond what they should bear. If you are struggling to tell your wife, please read how to tell your wife you crossdress. If you've told your wife with great success, please comment and share your advice with others.
Hugs and blessings,
Vanessa

I am a "former" Cross-dresser. By that, I am stating for the record that I do not/can not dress anymore. Let me explain...For most of my life I have been interested in "dressing-up". My mother and my sister (older by two yrs.) knew of my interests, and on Halloween went so far as to dress me in female clothes. One year when I was in 6th. grade, I was dressed by my mother as a lady of the times. (about early 60's.) She sent me to a costume party like that. By practical use of cosmetics ( I LOVED the deep red lipstick!) and foundation underware, my mother produced quite a little woman out of me.
That costume party was a success in that I was warmly accepted and treated like a girl by most of the kids there. There was one boy who had issue with me.
When it looked like I would have problems, a bunch of girls wisked me away and kept me occupied within their group for the rest of the time of the party.
My interests in dressing continued to grow even while in high school. Then I joined the military during the Viet Nam conflict. (we never called it a war...). During this time, I met and married my present wife of 40 yrs. My wife, knew of my interests and shared with me her interests in cross dressers by dressing me up for a Halloween party before we were married. She has supported my interests ever since!
How ever this all came to an end in 2007. I sustained a life threatening injury, and am now disabled. My wife is my 24/7 care-giver, and we live as well as we can within our means.
I have lots of good memories of going out with my wife and as her "girl-friend". I would say that I have had a good time of it, and consider myself a success... 🙂
I've been a crossdresser for years. I've had to hide the fact from family & friends, but within the last couple of years I've "come out" and told a few select people that I know I can trust. My fiance is a very supportive woman who not only accepts the fact that I'm a CD, but she helps me with the outfits that I select when I do go out en femme. There has even been a night when she went out with me to a club and we had a wonderful time. I'm more comfortable now than I ever have been going out in public. And it's all due to my wonderful fiance.

WELL, LET ME BEGIN WITH NO, IT WAS A NOT A GOOD IDEA TOO TELL MY WITH THAT I AM A CROSSDRESSER. I'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR OVER 30 YEARS, TO A GOD FEARING WOMAN. I TOLD HER HOW I CAME TO BE A CD'ER . SINCE THE TIME THAT I TOLD HER, OUR MARRIAGE HAS GOTTEN WORSE, TO BE HONEST FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS IT HASN'T BEEN GOOD ANY WAY. BUT IT'S BEEN ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW, THAT I TOLD HER, WHEN I GET DRESSED UP SHE PUTS ME DOWN, AND TELLS ME THAT GOD DOES NOT APPROVE OF IT, AND I KNOW THAT. IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY IT DOES STATE THAT. BUT I TELL HER THAT IF SHE WANTS TO GET ALONG OR LEAVE THAT'S UP TO HER, SHE'S STILL HERE. THERE IS IN SEX, IN OUR RELATIONSHIP, AND WE SLEEP IN DIFFERENT ROOMS. BUT THAT'S OK WITH ME, I TOLD HER TO KEEP HER OPINIONS TO HER SELF. I THING I DON'T LIKE WHAT SHE HAS DONE IS TO TELL. A FEW FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT MY CROSSDRESSING. I WILL NOT ALLOW HER OR ANYONE TO TAKE MY FAITH I HAVE IN MY LORD, OR TO PUT ME DOWN. I HAVE SINCE TO MY TWO SONS, SISTERS AND A HAND FULL OF OTHER PEOPLE. MY ADVICE TO YOU MY SISTERS, DON'T LET NO ONE GET YOU DOWN!!
LOVE YOUR SISTER JENNIFER RAMIREZ
