Have you found your answers?

[Kate Simmons]

I know many come to this site to find answers and also kindred spirits. I came because the website came up when I did a search on Drag Queens back in 2006 as I was thinking of performing at the time. Well, I didn't find any DQ's but I did find a nice place to discuss things(without reservation) and have made many friends in the last four years doing so. I've grown as a person since then as well, getting in touch with my feelings and emotions and realizing it's okay to express them in either mode. As a result I don't need to be in any specific mode and can enjoy myself equally as Rich or Denise.

So, has coming here fulfilled your needs and answered your questions? People want to know.:)

[Sarah Doepner]

This has been a source for answers but more important it has sparked questions that I've needed to ask myself. I read posts and responses and think about my life in ways that wouldn't be possible without this community. I'm forcing myself to not just talk the talk, but walk the walk as well. I've met people here both on line and in person and it is a comfort to know such good people with such a great diversity of opinion and experience. And I've started to see that some of my questions just don't matter in the long run. I've discovered that some of these questions just run me around in circles and I wouldn't have understood that without knowledge gained here.

No, it hasn't answered all my questions. In the end I have to do that myself but I'll get those answers based on a solid foundation of good information.

[Inna]

If not for this and anther forum I would never built courage to face my demons. I have gotten to the point in my life that life it self wasn't valuable enough to me to keep sustaining. I was inches away from the abyss of eternity and then I found an outlet which gave me hope, desire, vision of road ahead, and future awaiting with wonders. I since came out of the shadow and shared my story with few of my closest souls in my family. They have embraced Alexia as though a natural, living, breathing and loving person she is. Stone has been lifted from my heart, and my soul can soar, free and pure, I have been granted permission to be ME. And it all is possible because of this place, so yes, this family is mine as much as my own natural family is. I lough here, I cry here, I dream here....... I love here!

[Victoria Anne]

The short awnser is yes ,The truth is coming here has helped me grow as a person and understand who I am , to know it is okay to be myself and grow in that person who now is a much better person and better SO to my wife. I am a much happier person now then I was then I just changed my name ! I could never have imagined doing that let alone living as I am and it is because of this site and all the help and advise I have recieved and read here.

[BobbiU]

I don't know if I can say it's answered all my questions, I'm not usually a person with alot of questions. Even though I've been wearing stuff behind closed door for 20+ years, I was looking for a resource to find additional info, hear from others. This site has definitely helped there. It's helped me to realize that there are many other straight men, happily married men, who cross dress, and do not want to live the life as a female. I'm feeling more confident that this is an OK thing, my wife is accepting of the little CDing that I do, and now I'm ready to expand that, and alot has to do with reading about others on this site.

So, answered alot of questions? Not sure. Helped with my CDing experience, and growing as a CDer, definitely.

:)

[Alice B]

Without question this site has helped me. It has allowed me to better understand why I like to cross dress, to become comfortable with it, to enable mer to come out to my family and to make friends.

[kayegirl]

Most certainly YES, without this forum Kaye would still be a shy reclusive girl, hiding behind locked doors and closed curtains, creeping out only in the dark. Now, in the words of the song, "My secrets not a secret anymore", and I am a more outgoing and confident woman. And as an extra bonus I have made a number of contacts and new friends. Oh yes God Bless those people who started Crossdressers.com

[sandra-leigh]

I think that without this site, it would have taken me quite a few years more to realize that I was TG (maybe androgynous). Oh, I probably would have known anyhow that it was somehow about something more than just wearing the clothes, but admitting it and accepting the implications would have taken much more time.

[TonyaV]

If not for this and anther forum I would never built courage to face my demons. I have gotten to the point in my life that life it self wasn't valuable enough to me to keep sustaining.

AND YOU'RE LOVED HERE! :love::love:

[TonyaV]

If it weren't for this site, I probably would have never, in a million years thought of coming out to my wife.

I still have questions. And, whenever I do, this is the first place I come looking for answers. So far, I have met the most wonderful ad genuine people here, ones I can relate to and understand. Too bad, such online community did not exist 20+ years ago.

[Cindi Ann Kelly]

This site has helped me accept who I am.

Cindi Ann:love:

[CallMeMeg]

I found the forum when I was trying to find gurls who flew en femme before.... It was like when I was a child and loved dressing up. I thought I was the only one who wanted to do this.

Yes, I found answers. And I found I had answers for others who aren't as far on the path I'm on.

[Kerrie Sifton]

I have found many answers here, and in some cases I dont have the questions yet. But if not for this site I would not have had the courage to go further and experiment with my fem side, nor would I have told my spouse. Thus it has been in some cases a gift from heaven in allowing me to learn more about this side of me.
To the mods.. thankyou, to the contributors many thanks.

[KateW]

This site definitely helped me to come to turns with who I was and who I wanted to be. In regards to answers, instead of losing sleep trying to work out "why", I just accepted that its how I was made and embrace it.

[Teri Jean]

Denise I came here because of my then crossdressing and it morphed into more. Then with the help of one of our sisters here I was refered to the gender therapist and my transition. This site was a tool to help me understand myself and became a home of many friends whom I may not have met personally but that is not necessary.

[docrobbysherry]

I'm still trying to learn the rite QUESTIONS to ASK, Denise!:doh:

However, I CAN blame/credit this site for Sherry's rapid and sexy development!:devil:

I NEVER would have been brave enuff to progress as far as I have down the CD rabbit hole without the help/encouragement/advise/ and yes, even LOVE from some WONDERFUL girls here!:love:

[PretzelGirl]

When I came here, I had never knowingly met a CD or TS. So like many of us, I had a boatload of unanswered questions. They aren't all answered. Some just need to take time as I discover myself. Others will take time as we get better recognition as a group.

In the meantime, I have had fun. I have made friends. I came out to one of my children. I have met others from here in person and I have joined my local Tri-Ess. All this is a major growth for me and a result of continuing to seek answers.

[Michaela42]

Yes and surprisingly the answer(s) were "42". :D

No, but seriously, I have learned more in the past few months on the board than in my previous 20 some (since I began to dress). Thank you all so much, more questions will arise, I am sure, but you all have been such a wonderful help. :love::hugs:

[Lexine]

I've only been a member since March and I've undergone so many transitions in the way I carry myself and everything else that I can truly say that yes, this forum has a lot of answers, and I managed to pick and choose the ones that applied to me carefully. :)

[Angiemead12]

I find strength and confidence to be me on this forum from others, I never thought I would want to be public about what I do but Im at a point where I want to educate people and help others like me.

Thank you very much for being here!

[AKAMichelle]

I don't even remember the reason for joining this website. But I have found many things from being here. So all I can say is that it has been a wonderful journey.

[Karinsamatha]

After I joined and found I wasn't the only indavidual who has been gifted (I mean that in a good way) with being transgender, and later admitting to myself that I am a girl mentaly and in my heart things have become much easier to deal with. So the answer is a partial yes. The above admision is however causing me to ask other questions that are causing some deep reflections, and thoughts about the future.

:hugs:

[Rianna Humble]

I am fairly sure that I have found my answers, now I just need to build a better computer to find the questions :eek:

But seriously, when I joined this site I still did not understand who I am and had only recently admitted to myself that I needed to wear "women's" clothes. I was still determined not to be TG - which at that time I confused with TS - but I have come a long way since that day.

I also discovered through this site that I am not "the only freak in this world" (a feeling with which I had struggled for over 4 decades) and have made some strong friendships albeit so far only on-line.

Since being part of this community, I have been able to share some of my hopes and fears, but have also found people who cared enough to advise caution when I was in danger of running away with myself.

I definitely do not have "all the answers" but then I would be worried if I felt I did, but it is definitely thanks to my participation in this site that I have found the ability to accept myself fully and to understand that I have a future as Rianna of which I do not need to feel ashamed.

[Olivia2]

While I haven't gotten all the answers I am looking for nor asked all the questions I would like to ask as of yet, it has been very comforting to know that there are indeed many of us who share similar issues and passions. As I know it is with many of us in our pasts, I have felt very alone with this much of my life and have been quite uncomfortable keeping secrets from others in my world who have no idea about this aspect of my life. For this reason alone, I have been quite relieved to have found this forum.

[Danielle Gee]

I agree with the oothers, joining this site has been wonderful. Meeting new friends, and learning new tips has been great.
But I have to say reading the heartfelt posts from the other girls has been great too
. Reading them has often brought a tear to my eye (both from sadness and joy )

I hope I can remain a member in good standing for many years to come!!

I Love ya all
Danielle

[jenna_woods]

yes this site has helped me more than I can say, the biggest thing I think is I know now that I am not ALONE.

[Raychel]

When I joined this site 5 years ago. I didn't think that I had any real questions, Just looking for information and others that were like me. Well along the way, I have certainly made some great friends, and found a ton of information.

I have also found some answers, to questions that I didn't know I had. This site has given me the courage to tell my wife about my dressing. It has given me a sense of normalcy in my life. I no longer feel like I am such a misfit. Sure there are time that I would just like to be alone and not be in the crowd. But it doesn't happen anywhere as often now.

So this site has allowed me to grow into the person that I am now. It has given me strength, and support when needed. It has given me new friends, that I certainly would not have met otherwise. And yes it has given me some answers too.

[TxKimberly]

Answers?! Hell, I haven't even found the questions yet!

[Sherry-Stephanie]

I think this site has done the following....

Educate

Developed a goup for socializing

May each one of us realize we're not alone in our dressing

We share the ups and downs that dressing brings us...

Develope the confidence to walk out the front door as we progress forward in our evolving female side

So of course this site has helped 99.9% of us girls since we each came here....

[Ruth]

Making contact with a worldwide network of like-minded people has to be the first big benefit of finding this site, but, yes, on a practical level I have got many detailed answers to small matters relating to dressing and appearance which are really not available anywhere else.
And also this site (well the people to be precise) gave me the confidence to first go out into the world as Ruth. Again, where else are you going to get that?

[charlie]

Hello Denise!
I'm so glad that you found this site because you and many others here have helped me sort through being a CD. I did not understand why I had these feelings, why I was so strange and did others know and feel how I did. This forum is terrific! I'm no longer alone. I have all of the people here to turn to.

[tricia_uktv]

Hi Denise, the trouble is that the only answers we can find are within ourselves. This site is a great help in reinforcing that what we are doing is not wrong and in using the girls who are more out as role models.

My personal difficulty though is that the further I delve into all this, the more questions I have to answer.

Both the site and my life are dead fun though!

[Jenny Gurl]

Learning a lot, saving a lot on psyche visits :heehee:

[sissystephanie]

My answer would have to be YES! I have found a lot of answers, and have also asked a number of questions! The questions have been pretty well answered! This Forum is a wonderful place!

[Danni Bear]

yesssss!!!!

this site has helped me in more ways than I can count
knowledge, understanding ,and overwhelming love from all my sisters out there

[eluuzion]

"fulfilled my needs and answered my questions?"

Most of the things I do in life are motivated by curiosity. I am exploring most of the time. I am probably looking for questions more than answers, lol.

I do not harbor any specific emotionally charged journeys to "discover myself", feel any urgency to resolve any conflicts or on a mission for anyone to accept me for any reason. I guess I am lucky in that aspect of life.

I found this site while surfing around and thought it was interesting (considering I am a CD). I am fascinated about "why people do what they do". This is a fantastic place for me, since many are willing to share more personal issues than other forums of any type I have found.

I do have some cognitive "depth", which I hope is apparent beneath my twisted outlook on life. I will probably end up getting banned for something I post that is (all too often) taken way too seriously or misinterpreted by concrete thinkers. But hey, it is lots of fun while it lasts! I am learning alot and having fun discussing topics with lots of good people. :hugs:

Now, what was the question again?...:love:
