    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Spectra, and I joined CDH this week.  I started crossdressing when I was a teenager.  Then I stopped for about 10 years.  I started again for a couple of years before I stopped for another 10 years or so, and I’ve been off and on since.  A little over a year ago I told my wife who has been accepting but has only been interested in limited participation so far.

    I have a transgender daughter, and it was only because of her courage to come out to my wife and I that inspired me to come out to my wife.  My daughter has no idea about my crossdressing.

    I’ve been in therapy for awhile now to help overcome my obstacles with depression, shame, embarrassment, etc.

    By day, I consult with small businesses as a CFO and provide payroll and bookkeeping services through my business.

    I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder last year hence the name Spectra.

    I’m looking forward to participating in the forums and learning more about other people’s experiences.

    Spectra

        Hi Stephanie,

        Thank you for the kind and warm welcome.  I appreciate it very much.  Also, I love your bride photo!  You look wonderful.  I have a bridal fantasy that I have not yet been able to explore, but I hope I can find the courage to do so soon.

        Take care,

        Spectra

        Hi Adrienne,

        It’s great to meet you.  I’m glad you like my name.  I’m so used to sending emails for work, that I’m nervous I’m going to sign off with my regular name one day.  I think it can be hard to compartmentalize this part of my life when I’m trying to multitask.

        Take care,

        Spectra

      Hi Spectra,

      Welcome! Toxic shame runs very deep and can be an obstacle to our real identities. It seems to effect me very often. I wish healing to you and all of us!

      Hi Spectra, and welcome.  I think you will find this to be a place where you can make new friends and share your experiences.   Please allow me to say you need not feel shame for your desire to explore your feminine side.  The fact you came out to your wife is a major accomplishment. I am much older than you so I guess my opinion of what others think of me is not very high on my ‘social radar’.  In fact, when I finally realized this good things started happening.  CDH has been a wonderful place for me.  I have made many new friends. I get together with some of them for ‘adventures’.  We just got back from Las Vegas where we had a wonderful time.   I don’t know where you live in Northern California but there is a very active group in Sacramento, the River City Gems.  Hopefully you can tie up with them.  Take care,  ❤ Paulette ❤

          Paulette opened the door and escorted me out for the first time in Vegas.  With her encouragement , I was calm and comfortable.  The key was being scared the 3 weeks leading up to it. When it came time I was fine.  You will be also.
