Hello, I am Dianne. I am 42 years old from the east coast of the U.S.A. I started dressing up when I was probably 11 or 12 but the thoughts and confusion about it started much earlier. I was probably 5 or 6 when I figured out that the world saw me as a male and if I tried to differ from that, people "mostly adult males" would threaten any type of torture or disfigurement to scare me away from how I felt inside. Fast forward to present and you will find me 1 time divorced and currently in a 17 year relationship with an amazing woman. She knows and supports the inner me even through her own confusion and questions regarding it all. She is a bit of a tom-boy and disregarding our outward appearances, when I permit myself the freedom I am the more feminine of the 2 in both of our opinions lol . I have a limited wardrobe and makeup selection but love anytime I can express my inner lady.
Welcome Dianne,
Your story like so many of the shared stories of others on this site. I'm sure will be surprised at how much you have in common with the other girls. I know the older I get the more I need to express the inner woman in me. I have a very supporting wife with regards to CD. My first wife I could not tell her anything. Support is an amazing thing and you can find that here on this site.
Thanks for sharing
Hugs,
Vanessa
Welcome Dianne, those of us girls that have a supportive SO are very lucky and it can be alot of fun. Enjoy being with us and all life has to offer.
Welcome Dianne,

Dianne welcome, I do hear you when you mentioned about how terrible society was back in its day. We had no idea who to talk to, where to seach for answers and as you say being young and our elders and how they talked about and reacted to people totally different from themselves .For me being young that certainly put the scare into me. Today with the help of internet and social and support groups like ourselves we now have more opportunity to express ourselves with freedom and no judgments , mind you Society still needs to catch up but we are making progress at least the girls coming up the pipe now have more Clarity to where their paths may follow. Here we do just that help, offer encouragment and support to show a acceptance To all that passes through. Beautiful community that I'm sure you'll enjoy being part of. Best to you and your So and I hope you discover and can express yourself with confinance of being who you are. Hugs!! Stephanie 🌹

Welcome Dianne - very common story, other than supportive wife which happens but less commonly. Mine is aware and hates it, but 28 years of knowing about it, knows it will not go away and I would chose it over her. She was more accepting before, but as the kids no longer needed me as much, I want a bit more than she offered. I have learned to do 'magic' with makeup and wigs and it amazes me how I look. She has seen my pictures and it made her catatonic. She refuses to compete with her husband for being the prettiest, even though I am not trying to compete. Just something to think about as you explore. Always glad to offer some help.
Hugs, Ellen
Hi Diane and welcome! Having someone supportive is a wonderful thing and something I wish we all could have. My wife is supportive too and there are times I am the more feminine one. hugs, Michelle
