where are all young cross dressers?

[suziebrooke]

Im suzie... 22 years old... and Ive been dressing since I was only 6... I really need to talk to a cross dresser.... wanna make friends.... be supported... cause Im deadly in closet now :sad::sad::sad:

[Christyheely]

Hi Suzie, please don't be too discouraged. One reason you see less younger crossdressers is because most of us didn't feel comfortable or have the confidence until we got older or perhaps we thought it would just go away. There are many people here with warm hearts that will want to support you. You are not alone.

We hunt down and kill all of the young ones just as soon as they post asking "where are all of the young cross dressers?". . .

[Hell on Heels]

Hell-o Suzie, Friendship and support can come from anyone, at any age, here.
You will most likely learn more, and faster from, shall I say, a more experienced
crossdresser anyway. Give it a try.
Much Love,
Kristyn

Lol...too funny!:heehee:

Seriously, Suzie, in this world make friends where you can. They are not easy to find. Let the older girls with some experience coach you and as you start to "get out" in time, you will find girls your own age.

This site has gated groups for people in your age range. Talk to a mod for assistance.

[Candice Mae]

There is actually a pretty big under thirty group here, they are still a major minority compared to the 30+ group.

Gonna be 27 in a month, I'm starting to feel old.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Suzie, You have a couple thousand friends right here.

[Christen]

Hi Suzie. Welcome. You'll find plenty of younger girls around here, I'm sure. But you can talk to anyone, there's some very sage advice available.

Best,
Christen x

[Adriana Moretti]

we all started somewhere some of us found this site some havent until later , u can tell your story and be supported here , its like most of us are the same yet were different no matter of age , so join in and find some friends ,. its like a world for us right in your own home .

[Anna H]

Yes! Being an illusionette, i can be 22 too!

Been as high as 57, but it does vary. How my hair looks on
any given day can have something to do with it.

Yay! ♥

[NZ_Dawn]

There are lots of young members, I wonder if they will want to make private contact by your invitation, rather than public forum. All the best and welcome to the Forum.
I'm as young as I feel ....and that seems to go with how my wife see's me also. I always get the complimentary 'grow up!' a remark I find conflicting with.... 'is that not something your mother would wear?'
and (TxKimberly) I knew all along the young ones were hunted..........I waited a long time before I came here just to stay safe ...you missed me! (;-)

[Beverley Sims]

Suzie,
Welcome to the forum, there is a section for under 30s here and you might find that more easy to relate to with people your own age.

All the oldies here and some young ones have a wealth of experience and you may be guided carefully into activities and the lifestyle you choose.

[Ezekiel]

Most regulars here are 40+ as far as I can tell, but there are few younger members arround somewhat active for what I've seen.

[Marcelle]

Well definitely not in the "young cross dresser category" but WELCOME. As others have said there is an under 30 group active here. But if you need to talk or just want advice, don't discount us . . . um . . . more mature gals.

Hugs

[Zylia]

Suzie just stick around for a month and join the Young Members section. We always need more contributors there ;)

Edit: Oh wait, scratch that, you're already a year on this board. Are in Young Members?

[Teresa]

Candice, I'm just wondering which bit is feeling old and all that grey hair that will appear in the next month, any chance we can do a swap ? If I could know then what I know now, Oh Boy !

[mykell]

hi suzie,
most were 22yr old crossdressers once, but we didnt admit it at the time,

you have been a member here for a year and still have not fully taken advantage of this resource which most here would have loved to have at that age,
so your among friends and like minded, so dont be shy and participate, then you can join the under 30s to be with a younger crowd, or just talk to any member here, just steer clear of TXkimberly....

[Ressie]

We were all young once and we will all become old, so there shouldn't be a generation gap. Candace I hope what you mean is you're beginning to feel that you're not so young anymore. Actually feeling old shouldn't start until you're at least 30 LOL.

Yes Suzie, you'll have to join the young member's section, but you can also engage with the us old broads. :D

[Zylia]

Well, the world changes, attitudes change and generation gaps arise. Some young members grew up in a less heteronormative environment or may not even remember the times before the internet for example. Sometimes you just want a few less "back in my times" speeches ;)

[Katey888]

You have been with us a while already Suzie... if you find some subjects you feel you want to participate in (there must be some...?) post some replies and opinions and when you get 10 posts you can apply to join the Young members section - you'll also get to see where the rest of us twenty-somethings post our pictures... :roflmao:

Seriously - you'll make friends through participation and interaction... You have to be the one to start that, but this is a safe and friendly environment.. try it... once you get started it gets easier! :hugs:

Maybe if you'd read the rules faqs then you would have seen this :)

[stephNE]

When I attend crossdresser meet-ups, I don't see many young CD's there. I know 30 years ago it was difficult for me to start going out in public. I would like to think it is easier now, but I guess not. But my advice and request of the younger gals - Just Do It!

[shawnsheila]

It was very difficult for me to accept it when I was younger but I am almost 37 now so I would say I'm still relatively young but I have come to fully accept (and not really care what others think) now :)

Most of the time in the different CD outting I go to, I tend to be the youngest lady there but the more mature gals have many great stories, and really understand the experiences us younger gals are gong through. I would like to see more young ladies on here as well as I wish I had this type of supportive community when I was younger... It may have helped me to accept long ago when I could enjoy younger women's style of clothing in public :)

[ClaireCole]

I'm new here (and I'm 18), and I've been thinking the same, it would be nice to have more on here. There's a group thing that the other girls have mentioned, but I can't join until I've been a member for a month unfortunately.

[Sassyinheels]

Im always the youngest cd wherever I go. Would love to be able to meet and hang out with girls my age :)

[edith]

The main crossdressing community on reddit (http://reddit.com/r/crossdressing) skews young. It's very active but it's mostly pictures and less discussion than you get here.

[lindsey89]

Hi suzie! I'm only 24

[Tasha'sLaboratory]

I'm 32, unfortunately I can't join the actually young not just young at heart group anymore.

[reb.femme]

Hi Suzie,

You definitely need to join the Young Members section, as I remember when I was in my early 20's, anyone over 30 was old and out of my preferred fun bracket. However, as I was also in the RAF at the time, I mixed with all age ranges through my service life and learnt so much from the older ones too.

Anyway,....as per Zylia's comment, "back in my day.......let me tell you........blah blah!" :heehee:

Rebecca

[thisgal16]

I'm still in that young category i think. I'm just 27, i would love to be able to find and chat with some friends that are closer to my age.

[Melissa_59]

I'm proud to say I'm 35.

In hexadecimal.

Geez. Even in hexadecimal, I'm old... <sigh>

[Eryn]

Hi Suzie!

The "where are the young people" question has been asked before and it is a bit of a mystery. Surveys here on the forum shows our median age to be about 50.

One hypothesis is that young people have fewer problems going out and therefore tend to not need as much support.

Another is that young people are so busy with their young lives that they don't have much time to think and act on their TG status.

A third is that being TG is much more accepted these days so it is only us older folks who feel the stigma strongly and remain closeted.

There's probably a bit of truth to all these hypotheses. In my case I kept my TG status buried through most of my life. There was always something bigger that took precedence and I always hoped that some major life event would put an end to my "inordinate interest in things feminine" once and for all. It didn't happen so Eryn finally got to come out and play.

Suzie, you are very lucky that you are able to explore your TG issues at a young age. You're saving yourself a lot of misery in not having to go through life wanting something that you may not even be able to define. Learn from those older and more experienced than you here and enjoy the company of your peers in the young people's section!

What do they discuss there anyway? Things like "Justin Bieber, is he or isn't he?" :lol:

[SabrinaEmily]

You'll find some here, but I suspect a lot of younger people who would have identified as crossdressers had they been born a generation earlier either, if they are actually transsexual women, realized it at a much younger age, or else came to identify as bigender, androgyne, genderqueer, non-binary, etc., and find gathering places around those identitles instead. That's the case for me and it's part of the reason I post relatively little here.

[Melissa in SE Tn]

Maybe us old farts can learn from you younger gals!! You younger gals need to post more often. It was great to see Kim Huddle back on the forum . Girls like her & Karren Hutton bring much needed sense & humor to the forum . Come on young girls, post more often !!! Peace, mel

I'm 29! We exist!!

[LostnMyself]

I just joined and I'm 27, but I say forget age, look at all the experience and knowledge we got together. Whether we are worn around the edges or right out of the box, chicken legged or thunder thighed, twisting or twerking we all have one thing in common.....like a fine glass of wine we taste better with ag.......experience :)

[JazT95]

Well, you say you're 'deadly in the closet', so if you wanted help with managing it, the older (I tried my best not to use that word!) members of the forum would probably be the ones to speak too. After being here for a while, you see that they've already done it all and are therefore much better set to give advice on what and what not to do in that department. I know I couldn't really help because I'm in a similar situation!

But yeah, like others have said, come join the Under 30s group to talk to others you're age :) x
