      I am Ana Cristina (Cristy) García and, although I haver been on other social networks for many years, and have heard about CDH, I did not consider joining until now.  The main reason is that my time is very limited to keep up with interactions in too many sites.  However, CDH seems to be a sanctuary for crossdressers, away from the general public. I have always had the policy of responding to every message I get, but need to explain that I am not always on line so it might take some time for me to catch up.

      I look forward to making new friends and connecting with old ones here, where talk can be more on topic and meaningful.  Please feel free to ask any questions about me since I am an open book to my sisters.

      Hugs to all

      Hi Cristy, and welcome to a wonderful place to meet new friends and share our concerns and experiences. You look absolutely FABULOUS i your photo, and if I didn’t want to be your friend I would be SO green with envy!
      I have only been to Guatemala once and it was only for a brief meeting. However, I have spent considerable time working in El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica, and if it wasn’t for my absolutely miserable command of Spanish I would probably be living in one of those countries.
      It looks like your family is aware of Anna Cristina, just like mine is of Paulette. It makes it so much easier to follow our passion to explore our feminine nature when we don’t have to hide it! I just wish I had more time for Paulette, but now that the world is returning to a semblance of normalcy its back to an endless stream of Zoom and Webex calls.
      I was reflecting on your comments about your attire in the late 70’s. Having been crossdressing since the early 60’s I definitely recall the clothes of the 70’s. (Maybe not too fond of the clothes but really loved the makeup back then).
      I so look forward to hearing more about your adventures. Hugs, Paulette

        Hi Paulette,

        Thank you for your welcoming message.  It is lovely to make new friends and refreshing to be in this environment.  Thank you for the compliment on my photo, it was taken last March while in Harrisburg, PA, attending the Keystone Conference and being from a professional photographer and recent, I picked it for my profile pic here.

        I am glad that you have been to Central America.  It is nice here but you have to get used to 6 months of rain, almost every day.  I guess the grass is always greener on the other side because I’d love to have 4 seasons.  Let me know if you need Spanish lessons 😉

         

        Hugs,Cristy

          Feel free to message me anytime.

          Yours truly,

      Cristy,

      I just wanted to say I have been a fan of your photos elsewhere on the internet for many years.  Your style and elegance are an inspiration.  I consider you one of the crossdressing legends, and I’m so glad you’re here.  Welcome.

        Hi Stephanie,

        So nice to connect here.  I remember seeing you at Keystone.  It is a nice thing that so many of us come but on the other hand, it makes it more difficult to connect with everyone.  I hope we get to know each other better and hopefully chat more next year at Keystone.

        I think it is fantastic that your wife came with you.

        Hugs,

        Cristy

      Welcome, it is so nice to set you.  You look fantastic in your profile photo.

      I hope we get the chance to catch up with each other at some point, either I the chat room or through messaging.

      I also hope you make lots of new friends.

      OMG….talk about making my day !  This year has been so amazing but what took it to a new level was finally meeting you at Keystone …someone I had admired and looked up to for so so many years.  The gifts you gave to me for my daughter made me cry that day in the hotel room.  That someone could be so kind to share something like that and that person being someone I so admired.

      Now I find that you have joined that place that I credit with “saving me” or maybe the place that gave me the courage and support to accept who I am!   I’m so happy to see you here.  It’s a wonderful place filled with caring people .  I can’t wait to chat with you more.  Bienvenida!!❤️❤️

        I don’t know why I had not joined before, Carole.  I think I had enough with Flickr, Facebook and Youtube, although I do not spend that much time on those anymore.  It is refreshing to find a sanctuary for us and make new friends while connecting with old friends at another level.  I am learning the workings of CDH and will make it my hideaway for staying in touch with dear friends.

      Hi, Cristy.

      I think one question I might have, if you ever have time, is how cross-dressing is seen in Guatemala. For example, most of the stories, ideas, concepts, etc. I have been exposed to are fairly focused culturally and I have little to compare them with in terms of other societies. Perhaps the situation is pretty much the same or perhaps there are perceptual distinctions where the contrast can be illuminating.

      • #647388

        Hi Araminta,

        That is an interesting topic.  I will try to find a way to share how things are here although I rarely go out dressed here and when I do I do it on my own and go stealth.  Like in most of the world, TG people are getting more attention and understanding but Guatemala is still a very traditional and religious country and you don’t see much media coverage or awareness in this regard.

        Hugs,

        Cristy

      Christy:

      Glad that you found us!

      While I am an Ambassador on Transgender Heaven, I do spend time here. I’m always happy to share what I know about dressing, clothes and shoe sizing, color coordination, etc. There will always be new folks who are missing some helpful information or maybe just a few words of encouragement. As a longtime dresser, I hope that will share your knowledge and experiences as it is how we move forward as a community. There is an African proverb that captures this thought process:

      If we stand tall it is because we stand on the shoulders of many ancestors.

      Further, I have been to your country! My wife spent about 4 years in country and we visited together most of December 2004. Much of the time that she spent there, she worked as a massage therapist in a hotel on Lake Atitlan in Panajachel. She also worked at an English school for a time, but I don’t remember where.  While we were in country, we spent time in Guatemala City, Chichicastenango, Tikal, the town where they weave all of the beautiful fabrics (can’t remember the name) and perhaps a few other places.

      Be Well!

      Thank you, Christina.  I will follow your advice 🙂
