Welcome to Crossdresser Heaven, a safe and welcoming place for everyone in the crossdresser community.
Join Crossdresser Heaven today to participate in the forums.
So far 2024 has been overwhelmingly satisfactory. It has showered me with blessings and friendships. The experiences at Keystone (Harrisburg) and Esprit (Port Angeles) have positively transformed my life, giving me a more comfortable space to inhabit. I will write more about my experiences at Esprit.
Before, the community only existed virtually for me. I had very limited contact with transgender people and none with crossdressers. Within a hostile and restrictive environment. Keystone gave me the opportunity to experience the meaning of acceptance and at Esprit I had the opportunity to confirm it. I have been touched by the love of all the crossdresser and transgender people I have met at these events and I feel the need to contribute more collectively. Mainly the personal approach to my friends from CDH and TGH (to a lesser extent) has been beneficial and fun. I haven't had better days in a long time.
The most important thing is that I had the chance to show myself, be accepted, loved and even receive compliments that fed my spirit. In the last two months I have done things that I never imagined possible before, like being interviewed for a future documentary by a journalist who inspired my confidence, and modeling. I would have called anyone crazy who had predicted this to me. The best thing is that I don't regret anything, not even the Marilyn experience while I was walking through the streets of Port Angeles and the wild wind lifted up my black dress short skirt as I just finished to cross the street. Almost a panic situation.
I am very grateful for this sisterhood and the new friends who have helped me gain more confidence to experience my femininity in a more complete way. I no longer feel like a ghost. I love you all.
Cinnamon kisses.

What a wonderful way of putting it 🙂
No longer invisible.
Recognised.
Seen.
Accepted and loved.

It is indeed a good place here.
@firefly Hi Gisela, thank you for your post. You are an excellent writer and express yourself with elan.
I understand how you feel. CDH is full of wonderful gals. Esprit was like being with all of you all for 8 straight days.
Everyone I met at Esprit was wonderful. Being in the fashion show with you was next level. I can’t believe how natural and comfortable it felt to present as femme 24 hours a day with 100 other girls, not to mention acceptance and respect shown by the people in the town of Port Angeles.
Your skirt incident was very much a Marilyn moment. Speaking of wind you weren’t as unfortunate as the unlucky girl whose wig was swept by the wind into the intersection while she was waiting for the light. A passing car ran over her hairpiece. A kind fellow who runs the pizza place on the corner invited her to freshen up in the bathroom.
I marvel at the challenges us girls have to overcome in our quest for femininity ❤️
@leainvancouver Poor girl. Then I am a fortunate daughter. And I had the chance to put on my black dress for a zoom meeting tonight. So still I am enjoying my time. It was amazing to share time at Esprit. As you said everyone I met at Esprit was wonderful. Thanks Lea.

@firefly I’m very happy for you, Gisela! It’s such a wonderful and comforting thing to realize that we’re not alone like we had felt for so long. Knowing that there are others like me gave me a sense of calm, but chatting with the girls here gave me a sense of community, of belonging to a unique group of beautiful souls, and I’m grateful that you’re one of them. I wish even greater happiness and success for you!
Hugs, Jill
@jillannquinn Thanks for your nice comments, Jill. Our community is wonderful. I wish you the best.

That's it. Thanks Ellie.
Gisela, it was lovely to read about your affirming experience at Keystone and I look forward to your post on Esprit. This community is just the best, most accepting supportive sisterhood. It's amazing, and it's a lot of the reason that I am where I am with Fiona now. Although my story is different, I could say exactly the same thing and for much the same reason as you: it's only May, but what a year so far! This is also the one year I can remember that I have actually managed to fulfill a New Year's resolution, you won't have to try too hard to guess what that was 🙂
Esprit sounds like, Gisela I can't wait to read your travel log. Maybe I might be able to make it next year.
