My name is Rachel, and at 49 years young, I find immense fulfilment in embracing my feminine essence.

Nature's embrace is where I find solace, particularly in my beloved vegetable garden. Alongside my green thumb, I delight in the culinary arts, crafting delectable dishes and baked goods that tantalize the taste buds. A connoisseur of fine wine, but generally a drinker of the lower shelves! and a lover of travel, I relish the simple joys of life, from cosy movie nights to adventurous escapades.

Yet, woven into the fabric of my being is a love for femininity that transcends the ordinary. While the constraints of work and life limit my opportunities to express this aspect of myself openly, dressing up as a woman brings me profound happiness. Though I remain closeted for now, the allure of embodying Rachel has been a constant companion since childhood, despite the shame and embarrassment I occasionally feel.

In matters of appearance, I take pride in maintaining cleanliness and good health, standing tall at 6 feet, with brown hair and eyes. While pass ability may elude me, my charm shines through once I overcome my initial shyness. Compliments on my long, shapely legs are a source of joy.

Vintage 50's fashion holds a special allure for me, capturing the timeless elegance and grace of femininity. Yet, I recognize that perfection is a journey, not a destination, as I hone my makeup skills and refine my mannerisms. Shedding a few kilograms might be on the agenda, though the path to physical transformation proves challenging. Unfortunately, I was destined to have a masculine form.

Occasionally, I indulge in the sanctuary of a hotel room, where I can fully embrace Rachel in a safe and discreet environment, free from judgment or prying eyes. My heart longs for connection with fellow cross-dressers, seeking friendship, mentorship, and support in this shared odyssey of self-discovery.

To my fellow cross-dressers, let us celebrate the beauty of our shared journey, revelling in the depths of our femininity and finding solace in the companionship of kindred spirits. Though the path ahead may be uncertain, I trust that our shared experiences will illuminate the way forward.

With boundless gratitude and anticipation,
Rachel...

Greetings, young Rachel mi-lass. Felicitous indeed is your arrival at this place of sanctuary from societal constraints.

For, and I say this as one who knows her turnips, those qualities you seek are to be found here in abundance. I, myself, chanced upon this wondrous haven naught but a brace of months since. It is no exaggeration to say that it has enhanced my, hitherto mundane, existence with great aplomb.

It is my earnest belief that you shall discover not only that which you knowingly seek but also joy unbounded in communion with this sisterhood of compassionate souls.

And so I bid you my own welcome, consider yourself part of the family.

Allie

It's evident that this community holds a special place in your heart, and I am eager to experience the same sense of enrichment and camaraderie that you've described.

@rachelmarks welcome!  What’s for dinner Sunday and what’s the address. LOL.  A small stretch for me in the US.  However you must chat with Caty Ryan , a sister of OZ also.  She dresses period , elegantly, and like you enjoys the fine grape of your country.  Just tell her Perky ( my nickname here) sent you , she’s a wonderful person to get to know.

@missylinda This Sunday, I'm actually planning to be out for dinner, so the pleasure of cooking will be someone else's. And thank you for introducing me to Caty Ryan! She sounds like an absolutely delightful person to meet. I'll be sure to reach out to her, and I'll mention your recommendation.

Hi Rachel

Welcome to CDH 🙂

I too have a love of femininity that 'transcends the ordinary' woven into the fabric of my being ... but then again I'm trans, so in my case it kind of goes with the territory 🙂

You've just joined a very warm and supportive community - the safest and friendliest CD/TG site on the internet. The girls here are amazing. You're already experiencing a proper CDH welcome, and I'm sure that you'll quickly make friends.

There's lots to explore. Enjoy poking around, and if you need help with anything then just shout 🙂

Hugs

Ellie x

Hi Rachel, welcome to CDH.

Thank you for a lovely intro. I think you'll find that you have a lot in common with quite a few of your sisters here!

This is a very warm, caring and genuine community to be part of (or should that be "of which to be part"?), so make yourself at home, join in on the forums whenever you like, and have fun!

@rachelmarks Welcome, Rachel! And thank you for such a heartfelt introduction! As a fellow epicurean, mostly relegated to the bottom shelves as well, I look forward to reading more about food and wine pairings from your garden!

@chrisfp99 I must humbly confess that it has taken me the gracious span of four decades to weave together the perfect tapestry of words for this introductory moment. Like a fine wine, maturation has been essential to refine the essence of my self-expression.

Rachel, your opening paragraph, I thought was written about my biography, although 20 years your senior we are from the same river of life. So glad you came home and joined us here at CDH, a place where you will continue to grow and enjoy your time with us. I'm sorry Montana is so far away but who knows maybe travel is in your future. I guarantee a good meal, and I'll open one of my reserves if you should show up.

Welcome.

Sherri

@blondsherri Thank you so much for your warm and thoughtful message! It truly means a lot to me to feel such a connection, despite the years that separate us. Your kind words about my writing and the welcome into the CDH community are incredibly appreciated. While Montana may be a distance away, the idea of future travels and the prospect of sharing a good meal and opening one of your reserves sounds wonderful. I'm truly touched by your hospitality. Looking forward to the journey ahead with you all.

Hi Rachel, I feel like sitting back with a glass of wine and melting into your introduction and subsequent replies! I’m not even gonna try to match writing abilities but I will tell you that you will be so glad you joined us here! For me the greatest pleasure of being part of CDH is the inner joy I get when I’m on this site. I am on a network of warm, kind women and can dissolve into femininity myself when I’m chatting with all the different ladies here! I hope you can experience the joy from the inside as much as I have! I have said before that the more you reach out, the more you will reach in to yourself! 

Enjoy,

Sheryl

Hi Rachel!

Welcome to CDH!

A very well written and thoughtful introduction!

You said: My heart longs for connection with fellow cross-dressers, seeking friendship, mentorship, and support in this shared odyssey of self-discovery.

I think you will find that at CDH!

You also said: To my fellow cross-dressers, let us celebrate the beauty of our shared journey, revelling in the depths of our femininity and finding solace in the companionship of kindred spirits. Though the path ahead may be uncertain, I trust that our shared experiences will illuminate the way forward.

Well said!

I think you will find the community helpful, encouraging and supportive.

Again, welcome to CDH!

Catherine
