Join Crossdresser Heaven today to participate in the forums.
Hello to all my new lady friends. Everyone has made me feel so welcome in the less than 24 hours since I joined your wonderful group. I can already see that finding the courage to join your group was a good first step in accepting my true identity. I enjoy dressing up in women's clothes, especially in lingerie! I had a very religious and conservative upbringing. I don't feel that coming out a cross dresser would find much acceptance with my family and would not want to risk losing the relationships I have with them. Coming out to friends on neighbor's would be like putting out a full page ad in the local newspaper. I have one daughter and she would be the only person I consider telling. But not there yet. Interestingly enough it was at church that first admired how amazingly beautiful the young ladies and women looked in their Sunday dresses, pantyhose and heels. As a young teen I began dressing in my mother's clothes when no one else was home. I never really dressed up that often for fear on discovery and shame I would feel after. In my adult life I would often order things from store catalogs and pick them up. I would only use them a few times before the fear of someone finding them would cause me to throw them away. I am retired and live alone and have begun to dress up a lot more recently. I only have purchased a few things and keep them amongst partners old clothes I kept after she passed away. Looking forward to learning more here. The first thing I have learned is that I am among friends. Being honest and true to myself with your support so that one day I can see being open and unafraid to cross dress in public as well as in private. Don't see transforming in my future. Maybe a half a lifetime ago that could been an option. Still working on accepting myself without quilt, shame, or the feeling there is something wrong with me. Here I don't feel alone. Thanks ladies for being so welcoming and supportive. I know I have a lot to learn but with your help I feel I have entered in a period of self growth and discovery. Looking forward to interacting with you ladies, Thanks Sasha
Hi Sasha,
Welcome to CDH.
Alice
Hi Sasha!
First off, I am jealous! Looks like you live fairly close to Janet's place, which I hear is a great shop. Tad too far for me to shop there from here in Cinci, though I will get up there eventually.
Welcome to the site! People here are fantastic.
Lilly
Hi Lilly, Yes I am only 15 minutes from Janet's Closet in Wyandotte, Michigan. Think their transformation session is just what I need. They have professional make-up artist and people working with you to pick out clothing. In need of real help to personally show me what is going to work for you. Never been in the store but did order my breast forms from them. Went too big and did not look right. Should of went there and had them help me with that. They have very good reviews. Need to save up a few bucks and they want you to make an appointment. After they transform you they take pictures for you and you have the option to buy clothes. sure it won't be cheap for the works. Maybe a month or 2 but plan on posting photos here. Janet's Closet used to specialize in high performance engine and car parts. She is MTF trans. She changed her business because she had such a hard time finding quality clothes and accessories during her transformation. Giving back to the community. Could always make it a weekend and head up north. Will pass on my personal review after I go there. Nice to meet you, Sasha
Please do let me know how it goes. I've never had a professional makeover. Heck, I am just learning about makeup after 50 years, but it is only now that I have found myself in a safe, open and supportive environment and let me tell you, things are threatening to careen out of control if I am not careful. Years of pent up frustration.
But, yes, a weekend trip is definitely in the offing....just have to decide where. Janet's or I think it is Elizabeth's place in Maryland. There is a place in Pittsburg but haven't heard a whole lot about them, good or bad.
But let me know!
Lilly

Hi Stephanie, thank you for welcome, you look lovely and happy in your photos, nice to meet you. Sasha
Hi Natalie, thanks for the welcome nice to meet you as well. Sasha
Hello Alice thank you for the welcome, nice to meet you. Sasha
Hello Sasha welcome to CDH I am glad you have shared a part of who you are. Having found us you have made the step to become part of a family that is welcoming, understanding, compassionate, and supportive. While we are all similar and have many of the same desires we all differ on our goals or level of public expression and or personal experiences. I encourage you to explore the many forums, topics, polls and member biographies found here as there are a wide range of members all over the spectrum of feminine expression from differing levels of crossdressing to those on the path to transition and those that have. There are also links to websites that have products and services that may help you on your own personal path of self acceptance and expression. Ultimately it is a place, home, or space were you can feel feel comfortable and confident in who you are that you are not alone and this is a place where you can feel safe to express and share part of yourself as being who you truly are as your authentic self of you being a man, a woman, a man who dresses as a woman, if it makes you a better complete human being expressing your feminine desires feelings and or qualities. I am happy you are here and have made a choice to accept this part of yourself as self acceptance is the most important thing you can do for yourself and others. You can’t expect others to accept you if you don’t accept yourself all of you. As you are sharing a part of your authentic self here on CDH it ultimately lifts some of the burden that you may be feeling which many of us have carried for what seems like a lifetime you are not alone. Being here helps not only yourself but helps others gain acceptance and confidence. I am happy you have made the step to be here. Welcome!
Hugs April
Hi April, Wanted to thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support. Know I have a long way to go but have made the most important part of my journey. Taking the first step by joining this group. Sasha
Hi Sasha!
Welcome to CDH!
CDH is a supportive, encouraging, helpful community.
We have much in common as I too have a conservative upbringing, and strong spiritual side and know if anyone found out I was a crossdresser, well it wouldn't go over well.
That is why I am a full-time at home private dresser (no SO) with no plans on coming out to anyone (other than my girlfriends at CDH).
Like you, can't risk losing so many relationships.
Enjoy exploring CDH as your comfort level dictates.
Catherine
Hi Catherine, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and being so welcoming and supportive. Sasha
