hello lovely ladies. I am Brielle and I am a crossdresser who has been struggling with my inner feminine desires for my entire life. After 60+ years I am finally starting to address these inner desires, but am looking for a lot of help and support along the way. I am truly just starting my journey, and to be honest I am bit terrified of it! I am so very excited and happy to be part of this community and I look forward to connecting with fellow crossdressers. I do love female fashion and beauty, and am somewhat smitten with Emma Watson's beauty.

@gafran Welcome Brielle. I am 55+. I know your fears to well. I tried to hide my desires while my wife was alive. Occasionally delving into my inner desires when I had time. But never enough time. I am alone now. I started playing with makeup now to.  We and I are here. We all probably had the same or more fears. I came here very recently. I to am new. But the girls here are GREAT.

After talking with a few for some, I felt at ease. I dug out my femme side out of it's hiding place last weekend. Yes I fear being caught, but someday I want to go in public. ( I think. Scare me). I came home tonight and indulged.  I am in panties, bra, skirt, corset,and blouse. Plus high block heels.

We have time. You don't have to rush. We are here for you. Big hug 🌹

@jaclynne wow. Jaclyn thank you so much for your post. I can honestly say that I am truly looking for support, guidance and advice on this journey. Part of me is definitely jealous of your current outfit! My struggle is that whatever I do must be completely in secret as I love my wife and must (at least now) keep everything to myself. This is almost a constant daily battle! I am growing tired of this struggle and so have decided to finally reach out to a community for some support. I truly appreciate your kind note.

@brielleemma I know that battle like the back of my hand. I was married 21 years.  Besides the urges, it's hiding you female side and your special clothes if you bought some of your own. Plus the fear you might slip up. I studied people, how they act walk and talk. I got to watch women an envy them. But go home and have the responsibility of manhoodand and everything they put on you.

I used it for personal pleasure, if you understand. But also found I felt vulnerable and fragile.  Not weight on my shoulders. She past and I purged all my feminity. For a year I was empty. Then I started to buy some cloths again. I found myself and emotions. 

I know your feeling. I wish you could talk with your wife about this. I know I wish I could have. But believe me. I don't know what worst. Hiding me and emotions or having Jaclynne and no body to share any of this inside me. That's why I finally came out. To lend support and yes, I know I need it now too.

 I am here. A huge hug girlfriend and a kiss on the cheeck. Your not alone anymore.🌹

@jaclynne Jaclynne I so appreciate your note and your honesty. You are  an inspiration to me of what I hope I can share and talk about on this site with you and some of the other girls. Your hug is so much needed and appreciated! Thank you for caring.

@brielleemma Brielle, I suspect almost all of us were nervous the first time we pressed the dreaded send button. But you've done it. And good for you girl, as you've taken the first step towards the help and support you crave. Connecting with other crossdressers is our raison d'etre. I think you're going to love it here. There are at least a good proportion of more mature ladies here who will shower you with friendship if you share a little of yourself.

Oh, I have admired Emma Watson from when she was far too young to be looked at that way 😂. 

Lovely to have you with us. 

Hugs, Chrissie xx.

  1. @chrisfp99 Chrissie thank you so much for your kind note! I look forward to connecting with the gals on this site as I can use a little friendship with people who understand something of what I am going through. I promise to share my feelings, my concerns - albeit probably a little slowly at first. I am incredibly nervous and excited at the same time about taking this first step (joining CDH)!

@michaela2001 Thank you Michaela! I have to admit is incredibly emotional getting all of these kind notes of support. It is something that I have never had, as I have kept all of my feminine feelings suppressed and to myself for my entire life. I can’t put into words what it means to feel like I have friends here. Thank you so much!

@brielleemma, welcome.  I think most us understand the fear.  I just started my journey as well after just shy of 50 years.  Hope you find what you are looking for here, lots of great people.

Welcome to CDH, Brielle!

Posted by: @brielleemma

I am a curious and stylish crossdresser

I find this fascinating. For someone who has repressed their crossdressing for long, curiosity will help you grow quickly. And stylish is the name of the game. That's why a lot of us are here.

I look forward to reading more of your posts, Brielle.

Hi, Brielle, and welcome to the family 😊.

You'll find a lot of us in a similar age range, at last able to recognise, accept and celebrate our girl within. You'll also find loads of encouragement and support here, this'll help with any nerves and fear of what you might discover.

Seriously, just watch your confidence grow as you spend some time here, we see that happening a lot!

Take your time to look around and just ask if you need anything.

Hi Brielle! I’m not much younger than you, and I stumbled out of the closet about three months ago. So I understand the euphoria, the fear, and the learning curve!

So I’m grateful to all the sisters here at CDH. They’re here for you, & so am I! Welcome, girlfriend!

Hugs, Shannon

@shannonhyde Thank you so much Shannon! I can't tell you how nice it feels to be able to talk to such friendly girls in this community! I still get a bit of a shiver when someone calls me "girlfriend"! I have been so alone on this journey and I especially am anxious to chat with older crossdressers about their experiences. I have a lot of questions and fears still to address, especially about the challenges of finally facing my feminine desires at such a late age. I may be leaning on some of you girls! Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Hi Brielle

Welcome to CDH 🙂

Sorry for the slightly tardy response to your intro - I've been away from the site for a few days visiting family.

I joined the site in July 2023. That wasn't the start of my CD journey - I'm 61 and have been dressing since earliest memory (I'm trans). However, opening up to the members here was the first time that I'd come out to anyone. With the active support of a group of very good friends made on the site I gained the courage to open up to a good number of people, including family members. I now have the confidence to go out and about as my true self. It's no exaggeration that this community has the power to change lives for the better. That's our main reason for existing 🙂

Have fun exploring, and if you need help with anything just shout.

Hugs

Ellie x

Hi Brielle,

No need to feel frightened about your future as you are in a very safe and embracing community.

It is scary at the start with so many feelings rushing about. I am sure that you will soon feel at ease and find a lot of answers and help to move forward.

I wish you a very happy time here and if you have any questions ask away to tap into a wealth of experience that is here.

@ab123 Thank you Angela for your heartfelt note! I have never spoken about my inner feminine struggles to a single soul. I think it will truly help me to finally speak openly to people about what I have been going through. Thank you in advance for being there!

@fishingr8 Hi Stephanie! Hey I just wanted to say that I listened to your advice and spent some time today updating my profile in CDH. It actually felt a bit empowering and uplifting to write down some facts and thoughts that I have always kept buried to myself! With a little self-courage, as well as support from some new girlfriends on CDH, I look forward to opening up more about my thoughts and inner feminine side. Thank you for being there!
