Hi everyone,

I’m Krista, LOVING the feeling that I get by saying that! I’m both lost and found in my gender journey. After decades of being happily male, I did some personal work and realized that although I’ve been seemingly content as a male, that my femininity runs deeper than I knew. <leaves out long story>

I started exploring my gender about three years ago and I’ve discovered that while I feel fine as a male, I don’t feel fine as 100% male. I’m not out at all and have never gone out en femme in public. About once a month I dress in private and my daily male appearance now includes mostly feminine colors, earrings, women’s perfume, clear fingernail polish, and women’s undergarments. I went without that for a week on a trip and hated it. 

My wife is understanding but being an ally her whole life is different than having a CD spouse. 

I’m here seeking friends. Friends only! I have many things to ponder about myself and I’m also a good listener. I welcome responses here or through messages or whatever this site offers.

Hi Krista

Welcome to CDH 🙂

This is a wonderful and safe place to chat, seek advice and make friends. There's lots to explore, and the more you do that the more you'll find out about the huge amount that the site has to offer.

Regarding the 'I’m here seeking friends. Friends only!, I'd like to reassure you that this is wholly a support site for the CD/TG community. You'll definitely find friendship and companionship here ... but it is absolutely NOT a dating site 🙂

@ellyd22 Thank you! It’s critical to me that I avoid being hit on. I look forward to many authentic engaging conversations

That's something that's categorically NOT going to happen here 🙂

@lucyb112 It took a bit to be able to see and use this site on my phone, but I have! Now I need to figure out all the options on here. Forums seemed like a good place to start.

@kristacrawford1967 welcome to you younger sister!  You will find your new sisters here caring and non judge mental.  This is not a dating site.  It is a group  with similar stories in their journey along this wonderful double life.. since you have an understanding wife, you have conquered 95% of the battle.    My bestie Ellie and I welcome you, you are home

Hi, Krista, this is the best and safest crossdresser community on the interweb. I think many of us have experienced the seedier type of website and that's why this place, and the girls here, are so wonderful.

Welcome to the family 😊

I’ve discovered that while I feel fine as a male, I don’t feel fine as 100% male.

You can add me to the welcoming committee, Krista! 

You'll find that many of us are on a journey to discover who we are or who this other person is.  Not feeling 100% male is common around here.  Shoving her back into the closet hurts.  Many of us are happy to talk about that. 

This is a great intro.  I'd encourage you to stay engaged.  Post some forum topics.  Make some friends.  Make your voice heard in chat.  You'll get out of CDH what you put into it.  Welcome!

Hi Krista, welcome to CDH.

Thank you for a lovely intro,  which will strike a chord with many girls here. And rest assured, one thing CDH is not is a dating site. Work does go on behind the scenes to keep the site safe in that respect.

So with that out of the way, do have a wander around the site,  see what's what,  join in as much as you wish,  and have fun!

@sheryl321 Thank you! I’m vulnerable to dating attention, yet needing connections. This sounds like the best place to be.

Hi Krista and welcome to CDH 🙂 

How you described yourself in your intro post really resonates with me.  Like you, I've not long come to realise after exploring in the last few years, that I'm not just my drab self any more.  I am also at least partially female.

Our experiences after that point differ quite a lot though.  I hope the support and encouragement of the sisterhood and community on this site well help you to live life more fully through your feminine side, including being out in public - like it did me.  You are absolutely in the right place to grow, so again, welcome! 

Looking forward to getting to know you better through posts and chats - do dive right in 🙂

Hugs,
Fiona xxx

@finallyfiona Thank you for your thoughts. I’m deciding if I’m out “enough”. I feel comfortable in my fairly feminine outfits. I’m not sure if or when I might feel as comfortable fully en femme. I’m open.

The beat thing about this whole CD experience is that there are bo rules. You can dress as much, or as little as you want.  You can dress everyday for a month or once every few years. Go out, stay in, shop online or in person, just be who you want to be when you want to be it.

Some here have dressed en femme most or all of their life, others just wear panties or a bra on occasion. Some started in panties and slowly progressed (that is my story) others hit the ground running at full speed. Many never leave the house while others are content only when they get out of the house. You just need to be you, how ever that may be expressed.
