Hi everyone! Newbie from Tucson

Welcome Loren;

Really nice to meet you. Ive been here less than a month and i think you will find this a wonderful place to share your feelings and fears. I have a lot of those same fears still but have gained something here that I do not have outside yet. That is a freedom to be me. You can be you here too and this is the last place you will need to be afraid. Have fun with who you are and participate to get the most out of your time here as I have learned myself. It is so exciting to be bale to talk to others like us about makeup, clothes, and anything else you are fearful of sharing outside the box.

Welcome to CDH Loren! 🦋🌸 this is the right place to be!! 🍬🌺

Thank you so much for your kind words, Amelia 🙂

The first time you ventured out to go shopping, did you do it as a cis? (Is that how indicate you went as a man?).  What stores can you go to, and how do you shop for your clothes without being embarrassed?  Are there strictly Trans friendly stores?

Hi Loren. Welcome to cdh! Don’t be intimidated, you’ll find lots of like minded folks here.  Judgement free zone. I’ve found this space helpful and I think you will too. I was hesitant to ask questions or express opinions at first, but at every turn I’ve found support and experience from others who had been there before me. Being a cder can be lonely but here you don’t have to be. Welcome

I am still, aside from being here shuttered inside my 4 walls... someday i know i will get past them but for now this is my comfort zone. I have bought everything I own online so far... except one nail polish and one hairbrush. Find your personal boundaries and try to push them at your pace. That is where you find your own comfort.

Hugs Amelia 🎀

Thank you, Melanie. Can I ask a question?  It says that if I post a photo, that it will be visible to all on the internet.  Is that your understanding of it?  Isn't there a way to post a photo that is visible to anyone on this site, but not open to the entire public over the internet?  Thanks!

Hi Loren,

Welcome to CDH.

Shopping is fun?    Sizing can be frustrating, but the Store  associates can be helpful  if you know your waist, hips, and chest measurements.  So buy yourself a measuring tape and bring it with you.  With the pandemic some dressing rooms are closed.  Many retail locations are CD friendly.  Call first and ask about slower traffic times so you’ll be less nervous about visiting.

You are a Duchess.. you have access to post private photos for only members to see... not sure how you do it as I am only Lady status though

Hugs Amelia 🎀
