I found the site so good, I just started posting without an intro. How rude!

I'm Martha, I live in Ireland just outside Dublin. I've been crossdressing privately for decades. Only my SO knows, unless others have guessed!

I've gone outside twice recently, and enjoyed it, just chilling while en femme. Like many say, going outside isn't so hard. It seems really hard, and I did find the first time scary. I remember looking in the mirror in my hotel room, thinking "It's never going to be better than this, just do it." And kicking myself out the door. You'd think I was climbing Everest.

But people really didn't care. Second time, no panic. Third time, I'll let you know when it happens!

I'm not interested in transitioning, crossdressing is just something that gives me a lot of joy. I'm already picking up tips from things people are sharing here, and finding a lot of it relatable. Looks like a good supportive environment, and hoping I can be part of that.

Hi Martha an welcome to CDH.

I love the intro.

Yes, it really is quite scary the first time isn’t it, until you realise that no one actually cares.

You will find lots of stories relatable here, and yes, it really is a safe and supportive environment.

If you’ve been on the site a couple of days you’ve probably seen how it works, but if you need help with anything, feel free to ask.

Hi Martha

Welcome to CDH 🙂

It certainly does get easier! I only had my first proper trip out at the tail end of September. Today I went into my local city in the middle of the day, had a makeup lesson at Boots and then walked back through crowded streets to my car with an almost fully made up face (lips not done, but eyes looking spectacular 🙂 ). I was a little nervous about doing that, but even just a month ago it would have been completely unthinkable.

Anyway, I think you'll love our site. There's lots to explore! Have fun, and if you need help with anything just ask.

@ellyd22 Sorry, I saw "lesson at Boots" and "eyes looking spectacular". And I just had to ask.

Can you do that walking in off the street, or is it something you booked with them?

Last week, on a whim, I walked into a branch of Boots and asked the woman at the No 7 stand if she could help me choose a shade of foundation. I hadn't booked, but she was free at the time and ended up giving me a lesson on primer, foundation and concealer. 

When she'd finished, she said that there if there was anything else I needed help with then she could book me in there and then. That's when she scheduled today's 'Your Eyes Your Way' session. I'll write a proper forum post about it when I have a moment 🙂

These sessions are so good that I now have another three in the pipeline!

You can book them online once you've set up a Boots account.

Hi, Martha, welcome to our unique community. Started posting without an intro because you found the site so good? No-one will accuse you of rudeness for that, Martha 😊.

Well done on getting out there, pretty much everyone that's done it says the same thing, nobody bothers. 

You're right, this is a really supportive community, there's lots of knowledge here so there's tips and advice aplenty. Just ask if there's anything you need.

This is also a safe place to share, we all do our bit to make sure it stays that way.

So, enjoy exploring.

I too have been only out a few times! with much the same feelings! I have no delusions about passing! If I can blend in, I'm doing good. But I'm a Big girl at 6'2" and a little on the heavy side. My best outing was in Las Vegas where I shopped, went to a bar and had a drink, and even used the ladies room with no problem!

Happy Woman Face M.

@queenofdiamonds1960 Can I say, I was really hung up on the passing thing. For me, I think it was getting my head into a place where if I was happy with how I looked, that was good enough.

Las Vegas - that sounds like an outing!

@martha Las Vegas was awesome! I can't wait to do it again sometime! It's a perfect place to cross-dress cause people do that and much more "off the wall" things in Vegas, crossdressing by comparison is pretty low on the scale.

Welcome Martha from a fellow UK member from across the Irish sea. You have certainly joined a very supportive community of girls who are more than willing to give advice. Hugs  Lizzy

That's great, and I'm not into soccer so our five nil defeat doesn't bother me at all.

No really.

Not at all.

Hi Martha,

Welcome to CDH.  Congratulations on getting out twice and overcoming the trepidation of being recognized.

Welcome to CDH Martha!  I always thought Martha was such a pretty name.

You will find it gets a little easier each time you go out. When you are out and about, wear sunglasses whenever you can, even inside. Our eyes broadcast our nervousness to others. Sunglasses help reduce one's anxiety level.
