New member from NE Iowa.

Hi Kevin and welcome,

I have only been here for a few days and am still figuring things out as well.  Your past parallels my experience in several ways but I am a little further down the chronological track.  I think the time you spend here will be rewarding.

Hi Kevin, and welcome. I am considerably older than you (75) and have only returned to crossdressing about six years ago after a long time away. When I returned I told my wife and family right up front, and after some awkward moments things settled down nicely to where I can be Paulette as long as I do not overdo it, (which is fine by me since it takes so long to get ready I doubt if I would want to do it every day!). I do go 'out and about' both solo and with some of my CD friends. It is so much fun to get all made-up and do 'girly' things. I hope to hear more from you. Hugs, Paulette

Guess I am self conscious about going out in public dressed up like I do at home. With some encouragement I may in the future. Right now I am in my comfort zone dressing feminine in my home in the country.

Thank you for your insight on your situation.

Hi Kevin welcome to CDH it's nice to meet you we are like one big happy family on here so don't be shy come on in and join the family, I'm a mature crossdresser too I've been dressing most of my life since i was about 8 or 9 years old when i tried my older sister's lingerie on I'm still in the closet, I'm sorry i can't meet up with you for a coffee ☕ I'm on the other side of the pond in the UK, I'm sure there are lots of girls near to where you live who will be happy to meet up with you for a coffee and a chat I'm sure you will find lots of friends on here so if you have any questions just ask and the girls will get back to you X 🎀

Hi Kevin, it is good to have another Iowa girl here. I am in a somewhat different spot than you. I am so close to transitioning full time. If you want to talk just message me .

Kevin welcome to Cdh . You'll fit in just fine, meet many of us and some you’ll find there very much like you. First let's think of a feminine name to which makes one feel amazing in one's self.  First time being called in a feminine way is such an exhilarating moment. Meet with and soon make lasting friendships, and feel accepted in everyway . So nice meeting and enjoy your time here with us.   Hugs

Rozalyn,

Thank you for your positive input regarding this site. Nice to hear about other peoples thoughts.

Kevin

Stephanie,

Nice to hear from you, and what I can expect out of this supportive site. It will take me a little time to figure out my way around, and find similar type of individuals who are interested in telling me about their life's experiences.

Hello Cassie,

Thank you for letting me know some details about yourself. Guess you could say I am a "closet" or rather in the house only CD. I did accept you as a friend on this site. We can chat sometime if you like.

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to CDH.

Alice

Thank you for the welcome note. Nice to meet you.

Hello Kevin welcome to CDH I am glad you have shared a part of who you are and having found us and 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 public expression and or level of 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 or 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 acceptance and self expression. Ultimately it is a place, home, or world were you can feel feel comfortable and confident in who you are; as being who you truly are as your authentic self of you being a man, a woman, or 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

Thank you for your insight, and words of encouragement. Although I just dress up in my home now, possibly I may venture out in the world wearing my feminine attire. That is a major step because of living in a small town. (Seems like everyone knows one another)

I have found that this sight is quite beneficial and friendly to members of the CD community so far.

Have a nice evening, Kevin
