Hi everyone

Im Izzy my first day here with you all, from the bits I've read I think I will have found a nice place.

My story is possibly like many, a few weeks ago I hit my 59th birthday and wondered where my life has been and where it is going. I cannot really remember a time that I havent felt feminine (well except the many times I have forced the real me into the depths of my mind. Another one of the contradictions my life has been full of lol). Since being young I have when possible worn clothes that are the ones I wanted to wear, fortunately growing up I had two elder sisters so this always gave me a choice of what to wear, but only when I knew it was safe to do so.  Those words "safe to do so" have been a big part of my life.

As I got older I fell into one relationship after another trying to be the male I was supposed to be all of them failing as I could not keep the pretense up, and no I never told any of them who I really am. I was never happy, yes I could laugh but not really happy. I did meet my wife and as we grew to know each other and fell in love with her I thought she would understand and be supportive so I told her about me, it did not go down well. I most likely didn't handle the situation right didn't explain well enough. So I went back to hiding, when she got a job working weekends it was great I had time to be me. In the end as all the others the marriage failed.

I have lived on my own now for a few years and felt more at peace with myself. Then on my birthday I realised I am still not happy, yes I am alive behind the closed doors of my flat but I have never gone out as myself, never told anyone about myself, never had friends who would still be my friends when I opened to them. I live in a small town and regretfully have to say the majority of people are staunch fast in their opinions of anyone who is and I write this as they say it "not normal" should be made a joke of, not excepted or allowed to make friends.

So I decided it was time to move forward as Izzy hence joining this group, I have so much to learn, so many questions to ask (hopefully not to many that will drive people up the wall), need the support of nice people I dont want to be alone anymore, not in the I want to live with someone sense more the I want friends who like me for who I am and I like them sense. I will be honest I am scared of the future but know somehow I have to face that to try and find happiness.

It has been nice reading some of the forums I believe I will be at home here

Izzy xx

Welcome Izzy

My story is similar to yours. Life is very difficult when you aleays have to carry the burden of the secret we do. I myself struggle with thoae same fears. I probably wont be much help in finding those answers as I personally have only been here two weeks. One thing I have felt is the freedom to express a feminine side here without the judgements and repercussions that may exist outside these four walls. Everyone I have interacted with has so far been gracious and accepting. So feel free here to be who you are and want to be.

Hugs Amelia 🎀

Hi Marcellette

Love the name is there a French background to it?

Thanks for replying, nice to see friendly people here. Yes something in common already and if I say so myself I think the 59 vintage is a very good vintage haha. In the style of the words of Humphrey Bogart in that classic and one of my fav films Casablanca "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship"

Izzy. Welcome to CDH. You have indeed found the place where you can be at home. We are all sisters here and share the love for one another brought about by our common desire to be women we were meant to be.

Get comfortable and chat away with the girls like only sisters can. You will get acceptance, advice, tips, encouragement and most importantly....Love. We have experienced ladies that can help you anytime and newbies like you with a million questions. We have serious, thoughtful girls and crazy, funny girls (I like to run in that crowd!) But most of all we have Love.

Beth

On my iPhone 📱 they are all under the smiley face key 🔑 at bottom of screen keyboard ⌨️
