Are you solo in your crossdressing?

[Katie Lynn cd]

Hello girls....I am new here and this is my first post. It is so nice to have someone to chat with. How many of you are going this alone?? My wife knows of my crossdressing, but certainly does not participate other than letting me wear panties to bed once in a blue moon, and she will not let me dress at home. I am lucky that I travel every couple of weeks, so my dressing is only in a hotel room but not near as often as I would like. I would die to go the the SCC in Atlanta if I could ever get the nerve...what is it like?? Are transformations worth it?? It would be great to actually share this with someone. Thanks for reading.

Welcome Katy, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here.
I've never been to SCC but I've been to First Event in Mass. You should attend a function as you live as a woman for several days. You meet many. many other girls and get to visit many vendors. You'll have makovers and have your colors done, maybe electrolysis and have professional photography done and the list goes on and on.
It's just a fabulous experience!

I live by myself. And yes I am doing this alone. I am michelle90% of the time . The only time i am not is when Iam at work. Some times this cd thing comes at a high price. It cost me two marriages. But both were not any good so I araly havent lost any thing. I have gained michelle and her friends.

Oh, Katie Lynn,

I like to go both ways. I love to meet and go out with girlfriends. I have three girlfriends and we call ourselves the Doobie Sisters!! I find that I need someone to talk to who has the same feminine feelings and understands how I feel. But if the sisters aren't available I enjoy going solo to a movie or to the mall. I enjoy being out an about moving in the world as a female. Very satisfying. BTW, my wife knows about Stephanie and encourages me to go out but doesn't participate. She tried it for awhile a few years ago but decided she just liked me as Steve. I keep all my clothes at home in the closet in the spare bedroom and dress only when she is away for a few hours. Sometimes she leaves just to let me dress and calls when she is on her way home so I have time to put Stephanie away. She is very sweet and we keep no secrets from each other anymore. Good luck doing whatever you can, whenever you can.

Love,
Stephanie

SCC is worth the price of admission. I imagine most conferences are. OF course the best part is being enfemme for 3 days. As a bonus you get to chat with other CDs and hopefully make some very good friends! Oh , there are the seminars and vendors too.....

GO, you won't be sorry!

Can you find a support group near you? It's a very good way to get out. Also, having others to talk to is a good thing. Personal contact is a lot more potent than the internet.

Hugs, Lori

I'm a lone crossdresser and so used to it that it seems normal. I am also very secretive about it.

I would like to experience an outing completely dressed and share with understanding morally principled people at least once.

my girlfriend is 100% supportive and has promised to take me out eventually

[Joni Beauman]

Aren't we all really flying solo, anyway? Even when sharing life with a partner/family, it is an individualistic experience, it seems. My SO knows about my cding but does not want to interact with my femme side so the walls need to be strong to keep it separate. The urge to test the boundaries is always there, but the risks of over exposure need to be counterbalanced with the low probability of acceptance and the gain that would provide. There have been some threads about this lately and I need to strengthen my resolve to respect my wife's position. If the SO can not accept this, it is best to find ways to internalize the experience of cding and being satisfied with that. Outings are great, but always temporary. Joni

first of all welcome katie i know and support my b/f with his c/d. it isnt easy to be truthul sometimes, but this forum has helped me alot i do particapate when i can . e.g. go shopping with him, and also see him dressed etc.

[Janailene]

i feel as if I am solo in being Janice. My wife has know her for decades, but prefers not to have ehr around the house. As a result I do not wear skirts and dresses, but basically wear all woman's clothes almost everyday - pants, blouse, flats, subdude make-up. You do not have to ask about underwear as it is always Vanity Fair and Olga.

Alone, yet i have everyone here,thanks

Welcome to the forum.....I have been crossdressing since I was very young and only in the last 1.5 yrs have I started going out. Then this last weekend I was able to attend my first gathering. It was a Tri-ess event called "Holiday Enfem". This year it was held here in Dallas. It is held in different parts of the country each year. It was my first time meeting other sisters and being in a public place completely dressed. It was wonderful. I think it has helped me fully accept myself. Once you accept yourself, then the world opens up for you.

Oooooer sounds a bit rude... I'm single *sniff* Just me and the pandas *sigh* Still when I'm with someone they tend to know about me before they meet me... Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me.... ta da

Teriann gets help from me with makeup, photo shoots, and fashion tips, any advice i can give to make her the true goddness in her!

[Joanboy2001]

My wife tolerates dressing for a while but then tells me she doesn't like it. I go back into the closet for a while. This must recent period of dislike has lasted 6 months, She gone through this several time now.

It will change again

Hi Katie Lynn,
Rather than go a big ticket event like SCC or First Event, I strongly suggest that you consider joining a support group, like Tri-Ess, http://www.tri-ess.org/. Any UK sisters that read this should consider joining the Beaumont Society, http://www.beaumontsociety.org.uk/ Don't get me wrong, CD conventions are wonderful while you are there. They are also expensive and you need contact with other CDs for the rest of the year. You can get dressed at a Tri-Ess meeting. Once you are comfortable in the group, you might want to coax your wife into going to meetings. Wives do go to the meetings. Whom ever reads this and decides to go to a Tri-Ess meeting, do not go to one with the idea of making pickups.

We do that do ourselves sometimes too. At least I have.Not lately and hopefully never again, but emotions can get all mixed up sometimes.

[Katie Lynn cd]

WOW...I have been traveling and was surprised to see the number of replies to my first post. Of course I got to dress and shop!!! I guess most of us are in this alone, although I am so looking forward to getting to know other ladies here. While I do not desire to go out alone in public and be accepted, I just wish my wife would understand and participate more than she does. I think being able to talk with other crossdressers will be a huge help. This is such a great part of my life, I just hate doing it all by myself. I truely envy those of you who get to shop and dress with your SO!

Solo dresser But enjoy anyway

[andreah]

I've been alone since the wife and me separated in 1991,when I was recovering from a broken leg. A few years before I tried wearing pantyhose panties and a skirt in front of her , but that only lasted a few days. So I was dressing when she was at work. I worked nights so I was alone until she came home. After we went our separate ways then I would dress when I wanted to till this day.I will never give up dressing that something that I love the most and will continue till my final days.
My best Andreah

[Lanore]

Never alone. I'm not married, have no SO, female 90 or more % of the time and love being me. My best friend is a lezy, (she likes that term) and I feel good when I'm around her. We talk about anything and everything anytime. It's so nice to be at the age I am and have such a great friend I can share it all with.
