Hi ladies, my name is Kelly. I am a 62 year closeted CD living in FL. I am making another attempt to come to grips with who I am, it’s been a life long struggle as I have periods where I desperately want to be a woman. I have never said these words or even typed them so this is all a bit surreal to me.
Any whooo, I am glad to be here and appreciate the warm welcome.
Besitos
Kelly
Hi Kelly, and welcome to cdh! It really is a bit surreal saying – or typing – those words for the first time, isn’t it? Rather empowering too I think; congratulations on taking that step. And I think you will find cdh is a safe and supportive place for those steps, I hope you can settle in with us!
Nice to meet you Kelly 🙂

Hello Kelly,
I am 55 and feel your pain. God IMHO Directed me to this wonderful site in April of this year. I hope I didn’t freak you out with the G word. I do feel though it was devine intervention that brought me to “CDH”. I have cross dressed since a very young age. It was something that always was a part of me. I went through all the guilt and purging. This space has helped me be me. I have tried orher internet groups. Most were a lot of sexual innuendo and flakes. CDH is a group of people with that are caring, supportive, helpful, and understanding. Thank you Ladies
And welcome Kelly. Feel free to check out my profile and if you feel we have something in common freind me,

Hi Kelly, and welcome. As another senior corssdresser I can understand the conflict you must have had with your desire to explore your feminine side. We are so many times a product of the world around us, and it seems guilt and shame can be a prime contributor in how we see things. I speak from first-hand experience. I was an active crossdresser in Chicago in the late 60’s, when it was illegal in many places. I had an event take place which left me with such an indelible mark I basically stopped dressing for almost fifty years. When I returned about five years ago (at age 68), I came back with a completely different perspective; that being I didn’t really care what others thought about me. As a result, I was open about my passion. The acceptance I received exceeded my expectations. I guess what I am trying to say is each of our circumstances is different, and there is certainly no one-size-fits-all solution to exploring our feminine nature. However, once guilt is removed from the equation, it becomes so much easier. I look forward to hearing more about your journey! Hugs, Paulette
Kelly –
Welcome to CDH.
You’re not alone in your feelings, I denied (actually didn’t even recognize) this part of myself my whole life until a couple years ago. I now embrace this part of myself and it feels good to be able to accept who I am. Shortly after I came out to my wife (which was a nerve racking experience) she suggested I go to therapy to understand this part of myself. When I contacted my therapist initially I was sweating bullets and was extremely nervous as I told someone that I am a crossdresser for the first time. Since that time I have become comfortable with who I am. I am only out to my wife and therapist, although I did go to a support group meeting once so the four people that were there met Suzanne. Unfortunately it wasn’t the type of group I was looking for so I didn’t go back, but I was made to feel welcome and was very comfortable being dressed with others. It was an experience I wouldn’t mind having again. Hope to see you in chat and be sure to check out the forums as they provide a lot of advice and encouragement.
