      Hi… I’m Jerri. Probably the biggest CD Rookie on the entire site. I’ve always been wanting to indulge, but haven’t until a few weeks ago. Bought my first undergarments in early December and I have been spending like crazy since. I’m really enjoying it. Every night I get home, I change, and I can’t stop smiling. I’ve been trying to do it all. I know it’s a marathon, not a sprint. But I’ve marked goals on the calendar, and I’m very determined to hit my marks and venture out into the world like Superman, shedding my Clark Kent persona. Even if it’s just a drive or walk around the block. The excitement and thought of doing it is mind numbing.

      My personality is kinda quirky anyway. Been this smaller areas hero for many years. I’m 51 now, but I was the local sports baseball and football star in my H/S, college, and semi-pro baseball days. I played and pitched on teams with several retired professional baseball players. My college catcher currently holds a MLB record for most career saves for one particular Midwest team. Now, I serve the area and own two accounting/tax preparation firms. I’ve been doing peoples returns for so long (25+ years), they’re like family. This paragraph tells you how intense my determination is when I do stuff. I’m all in and drive and drive until I get it right. From my tax forms and recordkeeping, throwing the perfect curveball or touchdown pass. I just like when things go right.

      I was married for over 21 years to a beautiful woman, she passed a couple years ago from pancreatic cancer, and I’ve been empty inside for a while now. Hopefully this journey will light a fire under me and give me bliss again. I’m not sure about relationships or even what I’m looking for at this time. I just want to have fun and enjoy life, and see where this winding back country road leads to.

      My thoughts over the last 6 months have led me to where I’m at now. I look at what women are wearing. Their hair, makeup, mannerisms, how they sit, eat, laugh, talk, smile…. I can’t stop day dreaming. I want to be like them. The envy and fever is real. I don’t like my looks at the moment. I’m not close to par, but I’ll keep trying. Who knew that becoming a CD would be so hard? LOL Skincare, clothes sizes, the hair…. And don’t get me started on learning makeup. I need as much help and advice as you’re willing to give.

      I promise not to be a stranger…. Talk to you soon….

      You’re cramming into a short time what a lot of us have taken a lifetime to get to.

      Best to you, but don’t beat yourself up if everything doesn’t go as planned.

      You said it’s a marathon, not a sprint,but you’re on the right direction.
      That’s at least as important.

      Fascinating story Jerri
      The excitement is a magical thing. It’s amazing how obsessed we can be. Knowing something new is coming from Amazon or creating new combinations of skirts and tops and heels in my head and the can’t wait feeling to actually try them. I like the all in nature of your new adventure. Can’t wait to see photos.

      Hi Jerri, and welcome to a place where yow can make new friends and share your experiences. First off, allow me to extend my condolences over the loss of your wife. Being married for over fifty years I can only imagine what a terrible void it has left. I have a few friends who have stepped up exploring their feminine side in memory of their wives (as strange as it may sound). I suspect it gives them a sense of comfort surrounding themselves with feminine things. All I know is it is not a bad thing to want to explore your feminine nature. In fact, I am convinced the world would be a much better place if more men would recognize the ‘girl within them’ and allow her to have some involvement in their lives. By the way, I grew up in a small town in Illinois and went to SIU. I wonder how my friends would react to Paulette (even though the ones than know are fine with it!). I encourage you to ‘test the water’ by venturing out and about. It is so much fun to go out en femme, and do all those wonderful ‘girly’ things. I look forward to hearing more from you. Hugs, Paulette

      Glad you are here! Ive been a closet CD since I was 8. Now Ive been married for 20 years and finally came out to my wife only 3 months ago. Luckily she is very supportive and I kinda wish I wouldve told her sooner! Everyone has there own journey with this and it shouldnt be anything to be ashamed of. Being happy is the main reason why we are here. And if this makes you happy and you arent hurting anyone, then its a beutiful thing!
      Love, Krista

      Jerri,

      Welcome to CDH! There are a lot of friendly, helpful gals here so don’t hesitate to ask for advice. I can relate to your story somewhat in that my wife of 42 yrs. passed away 13 months ago and cross dressing has certainly helped me fill the emptiness inside with something that brings me a great deal of joy. You will definitely make some mistakes in the beginning but don’t let that stop you from pursuing what will be a very interesting and fulfilling journey.

      Hello Jerri I am sorry for the loss of your wife, I would like to welcome to CDH I am glad you have shared a part of who you are and 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. I am happy you have made the step to be here. Welcome!

      Hugs April

      Jerri, best of luck to you. Your story makes my head spin, you seem to be diving into this CD peddle the metal no brakes. I to have made large jumps in a herky, jerky way. I would suggest stop once in a while see where you are at and see where you want to go next, then go for it again.

      . Cassie
