Topic for younger Crossdressers!

[Ms_dark]

Hi girls!

well i thought that it would be nice when younger CDs could talk with such who nearly has the same age. so i decided to open a topic for this.

Here everyone can write how shes going.
When they started.
What problems they have.
Just everything whats on there mind.

Im 19 years old. live in Austria(EU).
I started with the age of 6 or 7 i think.
my first dressing was a top from my mom (well she cought me but didnt said anything).
My favourite cloth are my Black Stockings.

i have to say that im a little bit afraid of buying my own stuff but i think that i can handle it.
my BIGGEST problem is that i live by my parents, so i cant run dressed the whole day. =((


well that was everything from me so just say your thing.

cu,
miss_dark

Amy,
Shave your legs, the hair is not conducive for the thi-hi's to stay up. Shaving will help a lot.
Huggs,
Andi...

[JoAnnDallas]

AMY.....if you still have a problem even after shaving, try a garter belt. Don't use one of those 4 garter belts, These are only good for the bedroom. Get a 6 or 8 garter-gartr belt.

Well I'm 22 and got started dressing through playing dress up with my little sister, then I stopped in about grade 2 and had no erges to dress until I started theater were I found my true love... Makeup and let me tell you I love the stuff. I didn't start dressing again until I moved out of my parents place at the age of 18.

[Trina82]

I'm 24 and got started with laundry day (2 older sisters). I don't do a lot of the externally visible dressing, but I do enjoy what I do. The only problems I've really encountered are opposition from family and inability to communicate with friends about it. Nobody in my "neck of the woods" is very open to this kind of thing, so it's just one of those issues that I have to do behind closed doors.

[marie354]

I know this is supposed to be for the younger girls... But... If I could go back.... On well ... I'm not sure either. If I didn't know what I know now and was starting out.... I'm really not sure... Although things are a lot different now than when I was growing up. There are definate advantages now. People are more accepting now.
I still have trouble thinking about going out.
I've met a friend reciently that just might help with that!
Hopefully.... Samdy (or Marie)

[Kimberley]

Hi Girls....
I want you to know that we want younger people here. I have always been an advocate for youth in our community (despite having been chastised for it) because I believe our future rests with you. I also believe we can help you get through the minefields we have been through because of our experiences. Please stick around. Just remember, you are not alone and always talk to people and ask questions about anything that concerns you in any way.

Welcome again.
:hugs:
Kimberley

Ms Dark-
I to believe that i am young- at 29. I am in the very beghinning stages, of exceptance, for myself. About feeling this way. And taking chances on buying fem things, in the stores here in VT. I like you would love to find others, my age to be able to talk to about how our journey is going and such, and probably to have a generation to be able to talk too, as well.

i began when i was 7 or 8, i tried on some vlothes i found for no reason, i loved it though, i have now been doing it for 11 years. the problems i have is i cant tell anyone or go outr in public im doing fine though, i would love to date a crossdresser though and i dont know any.

[Jenn S.]

I'm 22 and have been dressing on and off most of my life, but much more in the past 4 years. It pretty much started when I was about 7, when my mother babysitted two girls along with myself and my brother. The two girls loved to play dress-up with my mother's old clothes and I was included in the game one day. My mother also painted the girls' toenails for them. I asked her if she could do mine, too, and she did occassionally. The funny look I got from my father when he got home from work was priceless. So, everything pretty much started from there.


I go to college in South Texas. Frankly, I hate school and am taking as many hours as possible to graduate quickly and move out of my parents' place where I stay during the summers. Anyway, nice to see people my age here in the same kinds of predicaments.

[PrettyinPink6728]

okay, I have to say I'm a confident person, but I think it's mostly attributed to my one friend who not only supports me, but kind of eggs me on at the same time ^_^. I only get to see her about twice a month, but everytime she comes up, we either go shopping, I give her a make over (she's not the best at doing it herself) or something along those lines.

I count myself lucky to have a friend like that because I understand the stigmatism and reactions of those completely new to this kind of situation. I had a number of friends completely turn their backs on me for a while because they had no idea what was going on. Hehe, my roommate was the funniest, though. He goes on an emotional roller coaster everytime he sees me dressed up. He's either really nervous because he doesn't get it, just completely ignores it, or (my personal favorite) completely forgets who I biologically am.

Just remember, our trials and tribulations are only real because we make them in our mind. If you don't let the arrogant SOBs get to you, then you won't have a problem. You'd be surprised what the support of just one lone person can do for you, especially when they support who you really are and not who they think you should be

^_^

[Ms_dark]

well a big problem for us young CDs is that most are living at theis parents.
But when do you get dressed or better say what do you wear??


i just wear my stockings. and most of the time after 8 pm.
i would like to now if my girlfried would like to see me in the stockings or not, but i think that i will never find it out.

kisses,
MS_DARK

Hello, this is my first topic here

IM 24 and i started at age 12-13 i think.
I stole some swimsuit of my cousin :P

I think this topic will be great

[Super Amanda]

I'm getting along at 27, but I think I belong. Being "in the closet" and still living at home does pose a problem. Ive always had the desire, and I do remember getting the rare occasion to raid my moms room, but sharing a room with 2 brothers made dressing up mostly a fantasy until I moved out at 16. I moved with my older bro and his gf, which gave me young chick stuff to try out. Met my " baby momma " in 02 and had my son in 03 and split with her in 05. Now, finally I have my own place, but i take care of my son alone, cuz his mom is worthless, so I cant be me all the time. Hang in there and if you think you may want to possibly get on hormones or something, the younger the better. If I would have stopped growing at 15, I would be a much happier person today. People tell me how well I pass, but In my heart I know I stand out at 5'11" barefoot and still 240 lbs! And always tell any girl you really are in love with the truth about yourself before to much time passes, you really gotta trust me on that.

Another thing is that it seems that the deeper into dressing I go, the further I go each time. It started with just an article like an undergarment, then I tell myself what about shoes? Years pass and I experiment with shaving. Get lots of razor burn. Now I'm shaved nose to toes, (except privates, to dangerous for me, i just trim that region) have very fem brows, and am starting to think maybe I do want to take this to the next level. But its scary, and thrilling, and it feels right all at once so I keep going.


I hope this helped a little. It helped me.

[Jennifer_G_2]

Hello,

I think this is a wonderful topic as well, not that there is anything wrong with age. I am 29, and I started when I was 7 or 8. I tried on a pair on my mother's pantyhose and that was it, I was hooked. I suppose a problem I encountered was not having the guts to tell my parents, so I could never experience being dressed up the way I longed to be, with the exception of a few more occasion's in mom's room.

Then I moved out and lived with my brother and his fiance for a while and thats when everything changed for me. Every chance I could get to wear her clothes around the house I did, it was SOOOOOO liberating, I felt free for the first time. I now live with another male roomate, and I have recently began to go farther, and will soon be spending a lot of time in public as a woman.

I think it is more difficult for young CD's to take "big" steps such as shaving legs and wearing makup frequently and whatnot.

It is great for young CD's to have support like this.

Regards,


Jen

I became interested in womens clothing about when I was 13 or so. Before I took a shower one day, I noticed my mothers bra in the laundry basket. I was curious and picked it up and looked at it. I remember it feeling so soft and looking so feminine. So I put my arms through the straps and fastened it. I just had this tremendous feeling that I had never felt before. I guess what made me curious was that I had large breasts, possibly gynecomastia. Anyways it fit me really well. It was strange knowing I could fill out a 38B bra comfortably. I have been hooked ever since. I'm 30 and I never lost the breasts and most teens do. I really need the support up there now. Doing physical things such as running for example is quite uncomfortable, bouncing all over. My mother always threatened me that she would make me wear a dress if I didn't keep my pants pulled up where they should be. Though I secretly wanted to, I never had to. The closest time was when she actually laid out a dress on my bed. But I was too chicken. I look at women and I am envious of how pretty and stylish their clothes are, wishing I could wear a pretty skirt and nice heels. I still live with the parents so I can't do as much as i'd like.

~Love Cheyenne~

[joann07]

I guess I'm the oldest of the young ones. I'm 37.9 years old and my favorite female garment is pantyhose and tights. I've never worn stockings, but I have worn holdups.
My love for pantyhose started at a really young age. I remember when I was about 3 or 4 years old and every now and then my mom would sit me on her lap. She would always wear pantyhose when going out to a party, or wherever, and I would inadvertently put my hands on her lap to balance myself.
I didn't know what it was that was covering her legs, but it felt smooth. I guess that's how it all started.
One day, my mom let me, my sister, and my brother play with one of her discarded pairs and so we started putting our legs and our arms in it. From then on, as I grew up, I noticed girls wearing them and I wanted to try them.
When I was about 10 or 11, I would sneak into my sisters's bedroom and slip on a pair of her pantyhose.
My mom would also leave some of hers in the laundry room so I would go and take a few and slip them on.
This would go on occasionally throughout middle school and high school. From college, and up until early 2000, I didn't wear pantyhose that much because I always had a roomate so I would only do it sparingly since I feared getting caught.

Around 2001, I was living on my own and realized that I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted so I started wearing pantyhose again. I was nervous going to the store when I bought my first pair, but now that I've done it so many times I'm not nervous anymore.
In addition to my new found freedom, I started shaving and buying shoes, bras, panties, skirts, tops, dresses, etc. and then last year I started fully crossdressing. Unfortunately, I have a new roomate/cousin living with me so now I have to go back to keeping things hidden.
Whenever I know that he's going to be out of town, I take advantage of it and dress as much as possible before he returns.
He's says that he wants to go back to his home town once he finishes graduate school, but that my not be until next year.
So for now, I have to keep things private and dress up at my local support group meetings.

[arani5879]

I'm 22 well thats only true for another 3 days but I'm still 22. My cousin who was an older sister to me dressed me up when I was like 5 our dads would yell at us both So it didn't happen often. around 8 I started borrowing moms things about 17 I had a girl help me get some of my own stuff and well I have my own small wardrobe now. I had to move back in with my mom Who would probably freak out if she looked in my closet. My ex gf who I am still on good terms with eggs it on alot we went shopping yesterday for my bday. A few other of my friends know I will tell my gf when she gets back from her big oversease trip.
My only real problems with it are I have issues doing my own makeup but thats getting better. having not actually gone out all dressed up yet excpe ton halloween which I am working on. Oh and my other problem is my ex loudly exclaiming while in mariposa, "This skirt would look wonderful on you"

[Ashley Victoria]

I am 19 and ive dressed since a few years back.
at first it was my moms panties and stocking, then her dresses and shoes, which most dont fit me.
My mom doesnt buy any fancy stuff anymore since she gained some weight.
so i don't dress much anymore, and i dont think of myself as a girl or the least bit girly i just like to dress.
its almost impossible now though, i have no way to buy clothes and no freinds willing to help me out,so it isnt working out.

[XDW Nathan-Natasha]

I guess I'm a pretty young cross-dresser myself. I'm 23 and live with my 'rents too (which doesn't pose too much of a problem - living with 2 younger siblings is what keeps me room-bound...). I've been dressing since I was around 6 or 7.
I started dressing by 'borrowing' and wearing my sister's pink fairy princess Halloween costume and a pair of white cotton gloves.

I have only recently decided to pursue cross-dressing to a greater extent. I want to be able to go out enfemme and live some of my life as a cross-dresser.

Some challanges have obviously been living at home still and not being able to go out. Another one is managing my body to the degree where I could hopefully pass as a woman. This has entailed more personal maintenance in the last few weeks than I've done in years.

One big blessing though, is having a very supportive fiance who may not fully understand my cross-dressing, but tries her best to love me for me and accept me for who I am; cross-dressing and all.

My favorite article(s) of clothing to dress-up in are evening gloves. You know, the long, satiny ones you see all the stars wearing (okay, maybe in the '20s). Those have been a staple for me since I began.

[Kimberly]

I'm 19, but consider myself quite experienced for that age. Not being one to ever be content with what I've got - joined the forum a couple of years ago, and the world of TGism was opened up to me.

My history: from the ages of about 3 upwards I wanted to be a girl... I don't know if that feeling ever really left me, but it was repressed until puberty, (around 12) when I wanted to dress in heels. Finally did so at 14, bought a pair and found a very supportive male friend, whose girlfriend helped me out.

At 16 I was coming out to a few friends, including adding more and more clothes to my wardrobe. Then, when I found the forum I started coming out to many more friends, finding quite a bit of support and acceptance, as well as coming out to a girlfriend at the time, who enjoyed the female side of me as much as I did. Stepped out in public when I got to college, about 6 months ago, and since then have had a couple of public experiences, with hopefully many more in store.

I have to say, a big problem is my father. Coming out to my parents was a little emotional, and he didn't take it very well at all. I haven't spoken to him about it since, and he hasn't seen me. Fair enough, he doesn't want to be involved in this part of my life - aside from that, I've had no really bad experiences, with people at drama college being very open minded -- my flatmates don't mind at all.

Currently battling with the idea of transitioning, judging whether I'm transexual, or just a crossdresser.

All the best to all my young peers on here. xx

[christiecd]

Here everyone can write how shes going.
When they started.
What problems they have.
Just everything whats on there mind.


Like a lot of people on here, I first started dressing trying on my mom's clothes when I was by myself at home. I don't really remember how young I was, but it was a long time ago (I'm 25 now). The biggest problem I have right now with dressing is seriously just finding time to dress. I have so much going on that it's sometimes hard to find time to get into my clothes, although sometimes ill just put on my heels... Anyway good to see some of the younger crossdressers on here!

[Ashley Victoria]

im stressed i can only wear my moms clothes i have nothing of mine own
and i cant go buy any. i really wanted to get some work out shorts and a sports bra, but i cant.:strugglin

[joperinal]

Fun to see that we all started very young. I am 34 now and started also at the age ... as far as I can remember. The first time my sisters put me in an old dress and let me ring the doorbell at the neighbours. Don´t know if this started it off, or that is is because my parents devorced when I was 5. In combination with the fact that I was the youngest at home, cherished by sisters and mom.

For me it was also some clothing of my mother, bathing suit of my sister. I love the feeling of tight clothing and the softness of lingerie.
Being the youngest at home, when the other left the house I was able to dress up a bit more. Later on when I went to live on my own, I never thought of buying stuff.... should have done it :heehee: .

[joselyn318]

This is a great topic. I am 24 right now and started a young age, most likely around when I first hit middle school. I started wearing my mother's panties and bras. I remember the softness and tightness of her satin panties and bra. Especially, a front clasp bra. I then started putting on her skirts and blouses while my parents were away. I stopped dressing in high school for a years. The urge to dress came during the senior year of my undergrad. I had my freedom because I just bought a truck and was renting an apartment with three other guys. I started up again with just lingerie, mostly teddies, bustiers, thigh highs, and thongs. Basicly it was just a sensual feeling that drew back in again. I was hiding this from my fiancee until I finally came out a couple months before our wedding. I am so lucky to have an understanding wife. When I started my first year of grad school, I slowly moved to wearing more conservative lingerie under my clothes. This week in fact, I went out for the first time wearing a pair of my wife's jeans (we are a similar size), leather boots, a nice short t shirt, and some casual makeup on to a nearby mall.

basicly, for me the biggest challenge is balancing my wife's feelings towards my dressing with my growth in this area. I am taking it slowly for the both of us. It is also a struggle to afford clothes on a grad student stipend.

Great post, I'm in a very similar situation and really appreciate your thoughts. It's nice to know there are other young tgers out there trying to lead successful lives while balancing dressing, significant others, and all the other variables life brings.

[Shelly18]

im only 18 and have been dressing since i was 8. my earliest memory was that of being at the beach with my older sister and her painting my nails and putting her bathingsuit on and goin on the beach!! wish i could still do that my parents thought it was cute then but disapprove now!! i hate trying to dress around my parents

I know how you feel, Kimberley.

[tbriannag]

First off, great idea for a topic!

I'm 19, and I've been dressing for probably at least 10 years now. My earliest memory is when I was maybe 5 or 6 and I wanted to wear the swimsuits that girls got to wear.

When I was about 10, my aunt would have me dogsit for her while she was out of town (she lives right down the street from me). One time when I was over there, I found my way into her room and dresser... and the rest is history.

To this day, no one knows about me, or my desires. Someday I would love to go fulltime.

[vlord]

hi girls im 19 i've been dressing most of my life

if any of you have myspace look me up http://www.myspace.com/mistresryofuxxx

[aoxomoxoa]

Hello all im the new gal. I'm still young at 22(almost 23) I've been dressing on and off again since I was 14. No dresses or skirts:sad: but im big on panties and thigh-higs. It all started when i was 14 when I found a pair of my sister's panties laying in the bathroom and I thought to myslef "hmmmm i wonder what those would feel like"? and it felt great, so now here I am. Problems yeah I got some my job sux (hard to stock shelves wearing a thong) and I still haven't gotten around to telling my fiance which is probably not gonna be easy. But anyways look forward to meeting you all.

[christiecd]

Thank god for Mom haha! Where would my crossdressing be without her closet of goodies...

[Nyana]

Im going to Vancouver tomorrow for 1 complete week.
Can'T wait to be there and go shop for some new cloths, also i will have the opportunities (i hope) to go out as Nyana for the 3rd time!

My g/f don't know about my CD and that very hard for me to do it at home. Also i think she would not approuve my other side.

Anyway, right now im enjoying my life like it is!

(i even put some fem jeans in my luggage that i can worn in male mode(they dont look too much fem)) so i will put them in airport before going onboard ;)

[Tasha Meredith]

Love the topic, Ms_dark!

24 here. I also started with mom's stuff at around 13. I was a latch key kid so afterschool always meant an hour or two of mixing and matching outfits and sleeping in intimates. I wouldn't recommend that last one because she finally caught me in a brassier one morning. In college it really turned into an admiration for women and femininity in general and I became a little gender-euphoric. Right now, I volunteer with women's groups on campus and they're wonderful to work with BTW.

Parents? Yeah, they're tough to dodge. Mom I'm sure she still suspects because of my appearance and weight but never lets on. As of now, I'm dodging college roommates instead--but I seriously doubt they would be bothered if I told them. Its just, you know.. really awkward.

But yeah, I'm just wondering where it will all lead.

[AshleyLove]

Love the topic, Ms_dark!

I was a latch key kid so afterschool always meant an hour or two of mixing and matching outfits and sleeping in intimates.

LOL! Me too! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to come out to my parents because I feel so guilty raiding mom's things :-\
Now I mostly dress at night and only sleep in lingerie when I know I'll be up before the 'rents.
My biggest problem (aside from not having enough shopping money :P) is that I'll be moving out with a friend this summer. One of the most solid guys I've ever known, but also the biggest homophobe ever. He said he forwent getting a tattoo on his leg because it meant having to have it shaved immediately prior to getting it! :heehee: I can't even imagine how he'd react if I lounged around in a skirt and heels..

[Nyana]

I can't even imagine how he'd react if I lounged around in a skirt and heels..

That would be very funny no?

I hope you will find a way out with this friend!

[SandyR]

Started by trying on my moms hose at age 12. Been hooked ever since.

It has taken me a lot of years to find my comfort zone, life is good. Slow down and enjoy it.

Hugs.

[27th Jennifer]

I'm 31, and have been interested in dressing for many years, but only after finding this forum was I able to become comfortable with the idea. I wish I would have had a resource like this a long time ago, but oh well.

[surfergirl17]

it all started for me when i was about 6, i was at my cousin jonny's house and he has a sister claire. claire was about 12? i think..and she was having a slumber party with a few of her friends. we were in jonnys room u know just chillin out playing some gameboy, when my cousin and her friends all ran into his room and tied us both to chairs, then they painted our nails and put lipstick on us..then they took a picture of both of us and told us that they would show everyone if we didnt cooperate with them for the rest of the night. so they put more make up on us and put us in dresses and heels and made us walk around and dance, by the end of it jonny and i didnt mind, we were having a great time. this is when it all started for me. after that i would take my younger sister and my moms clothes, i loved it, whenever my mom would take my sister to gymnastics i would go straight to their rooms and get pretty! 7 years later when i was 13 and claire was 19,(we were about the same size, i was a skinny little one) i was at her house, school was done for me but jonny had like a day left so while he was at school claire was watching me, her mom left for work and claire and i had a good 6 hours together. it was early in the morning, right after jonny left and she ran out to go get coffee and said she would be back in 15 min. right when i saw her car drive away i ran up to her room and jumped right into a cute pair of panties, a bra, skirt, tangtop, and heels. i put them on and walked around the house a little, i was in heaven. untill i heard the garage door go up..so i ran into the nearest bathroom(i was downstairs and claires room was up, and it had all my boy clothes in it) claire knocked on the door and asked if i was alright, i told her i felt sick(which i really did cus i knew that there was no way i was getting out of this one) and she said ok, ill check on u in a few minutes, then about 45 sec later she came back down and was like "open the door, i found ur clothes, wat r u up too?" she really wasnt mad. so i open the door and she kind of looked at me in awe, then she said, "that shirt does not match that top" and i gave a huge sigh of relief and she then said "if u want ill give u some pointers" and i gladdly accepted after i made her promiss not to tell anyone. then we went up to her room and i stripped down and she handed me a pink thong and matchin pink bra, this was a little scary to me because i never dressed infront of anyone and i have never worn a thong, but claire assured me that it is fine and i wouldnt even feel it. boy was she wrong (however i loved the feeling of a thong and it is still my favorite artical of clothing today..mmm) then she gave me a pair of white short shorts that said "cheerleader" written in pink on the butt (loved them!) and a pink haulter top to match. then she stuffed my bra with padding from a few bikkins. then she handed me a pair of pink high heels, these things were just beautiful and a pain in the ass to walk in. i then followed her into her bathroom and she gave me some pink lipgloss, pink eyeshadow, mascara and of course some blush, i felt sooo pretty. claire then played a little prank on me by giving my thong a little yank, it felt great, and we both just laughed. she said i look very nice and i thanked her haha. this is my favorite part, we were both getting hungary, so we ordered a pizza, when the pizzaboy came, claire convinced me to open the door and get it. the look this guy gave me was pirceless hahahaha but i kindof liked it and it made me feel wonderful. i paid him and he left, and it was a bit akward. then it was about time for me to turn back into a boy and hangout with jonny when he got home. so claire undressed me and let me keep the thong and bra (still have them!) so i put them in my overnight bag. then claire and i just talked about this, i said that we cant tell anyone and she agreed, we then talked about when we were younger and her and herfriends forced me and jonny to dress, i laughed and confessed that i loved it! then the door opened and jonny and my aunt were home, claire and i havnt talked about this very often since then, but she is still my favorite cousin, haha. i guess you could say that that was the highlight of my "crossdressing career" im currently living with my mom in my senior year of highschool, so dressing has been kind of hard for me, but i do have a little sister who is a sophmore and my mom i borrow clothes from both of them as much as possible. i love thongs with a passion hehe and have a few of my own, one claire gave me, i took one from my cousin lindsay and bought a few for myself. i would love to be able to dress anytime i want and have the courage to go out dressed, but its not easy, i have gotten gas one night while dressed, but i dont think anyone saw me.

long story short, ive been crossdressing since i was about 6, i have the best cousin everrr, and i LOVE thongs. i dress when no ones home and often wear thongs under my clothes(only did that once in school, too risky) for halloween next year, (wherever will i be next year, who knows?) i plan on being a sexy nurse hehehe

thank you girls for letting me tell my story and its great to have place like this to come and be accepted..love u all like sisterss <3<3 xoxo

[Tasha Meredith]

LOL! Me too! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to come out to my parents because I feel so guilty raiding mom's things :-\
Now I mostly dress at night and only sleep in lingerie when I know I'll be up before the 'rents.

I -swear- the first summer I moved back, she moved her things around so I wouldn't find them. I think my mom would understand if I could tell her the whole story; but I feel so guilty for raiding her things. -sigh- and my sister's stuff. (I was seriously outnumbered by females! How could I not be a little transgendered! :heehee: ) And I don't want mom and dad to think they failed as parents in any way.

Yeah I hope the roommate thing works out for you Ashley. If nothing else, you can probably find a few times now and then to have to whole apartment to yourself and step out once in a while. I actually had 1 semi-successful "coming out" experience. Though I wouldn't call him the macho type.

[sexysarah20]

im 20 i started dressing when i was 12 in a pair of my sisters panties and panties and girls jeans are my favorite things to wear. and even though i live at home my parents know and are ok with it so there are no problems there.

[Valerie Nicole]

I'm 19, and I live at home with my parents. I started probably at age 5, 6, or younger. I used to play dressup in some of my sister's old costumes and such (she's three years older than me). My parents discouraged this activity and I stopped. Everyone thought that was that. Through gradeschool I felt the urge to dress and the attraction to women's clothes, but I never acted on it again until I started highschool. I was ashamed of it for several years after that, until a few months ago when I came out to one of my closest friends.

This began a long chain of coming out to other close friends and to some of my family. My parents know, my sister doesn't know, and my grandmother does know. I am trying to reach a point with my parents where they will accept it so totally that I might be able to eventually dress around the house, instead of just in hiding in my room. This seems to be a long way off, but my mom seems much more accepting than she initially was, and my dad will hopefully get to that point as well. (I will add here that they were both extremely accepting from the get-go).

Other things that are on my mind? Hmm...well I've experienced a lot of loss lately, but I'm finally starting to recover and move beyond all that. For the first time in a couple of years, I feel like I'm rediscovering myself. Getting in touch with Jessica helps that a lot.

Okay, I've hogged the spotlight long enough, someone else's turn.

Surfer girl, your story is really cute, but please next time just put some paragraph, i mean put some air inside long story it easier to read!

ANyway i wanted to say it made me smile!

[joperinal]

Hi Surfer Girl. Really great story. Made me jealous :heehee:

For me it was when I was 4 or 5. I was dresed up sister and girl friends in an old yellow dress of my grandmother. Then I was send to the neighbours house to ask for a cup of sugar. I don´t remember the reacation anymore.
After this when I was seven I dressed up in my sisters gymnastic outfit. Later bathingsuit and my moms clothing, whenever I was alone.

One day I was one evening at home alone. I think I was 14. So took the chance to dress up and spend the evening. Nice bra of my mom and very tight correction panties. Completed a nice black dress and my sisters shoes (in those days I fitted them :heehee: ). Sitting in the chair watching TV I hear the front door :eek: . I ran through the kitchen outside into the garage. It was my sisters boy friend that came by. I remember that I undressed in the garage. I ran upstairs passing everybody and once decent again I gave an explanation. I don't exaclty what I told. But It was someting like: I was going to take a shower and I heard a noise downstairs, so I went down to check it out and just (oh what a coincidence) at that moment you came in. After he left I got the clothing out of the garage... I was scared.

Fun to see that "we" all started very young. For me I haven´t been Cd-ing for a long time - mariage kids. Only internet fueld up my desire to do it again. Only after learning about this and other forums I found out that I am not the onlyone :happy: And that most stories are quite similar. For me it was weird, because all kind of "hidden" memories (because I never talked about them I hidden them deep - nobody knows) came back to me. I could go and continue to type, but maybe that is for another time / thread.

[AshleyLove]

That would be very funny no?

I hope you will find a way out with this friend!

HILARIOUS! He turned beet-red when a gay dude hugged him this past summer. I cried laughing so hard


it all started for me when i was about 6...


Surfer girl, your story is really cute, but please next time just put some paragraph, i mean put some air inside long story it easier to read!

ANyway i wanted to say it made me smile!

Agreed.. That was a very sweet story, and I loved reading it, but it looks nicer if you spread it out a little. Makes me wish I had my own CD coach.. lol



I -swear- the first summer I moved back, she moved her things around so I wouldn't find them...


I know what you mean about mom moving stuff around. Like they kind of already know.



Yeah I hope the roommate thing works out for you Ashley...

Thanks.. and yes, that's probably what I'll resort to. Alone time and VERY late at night time.

[Tasha Meredith]

LOL! I know what you mean, joperinal about the internet influence. I was without private internet for the longest time and had to use the library for basic access. Now that I have my own connection I'm dressing and shopping way more often.

I can sort of relate to surfergirl17. My older cousins were babysitting me once when I was 7 or 8. I was being really bratty, and knowing how ticklish I was, they got the pinkest sunday school outfit from the closet out and tickled me to the point they slipped me into it. I was "dress curious" since 5 so I didnt put up much resistance. Every time after that I always wished my visits would somehow wind up with me in a dress again.

So I guess most of us had turning points when were really young huh?

[monkey88]

I'm 18, still living at home with the parents, and 20 year old sister, and dressing is real difficult. Thankfully, they all work mornings, so on my Wednesday off college sometimes I get to dress all morning.

For me, I don't know when it started. One day I just decided to try on a pair of my sister's shoes. My Mum saw me, but didn't say anything. I just tried shoes for a while, moving onto my Mum's (they had higher heels). And then it just sorta stopped for a while. I started up again mid-secondary school, got caught by parents a couple of times, and they were very anti-cd about it, asking me if I was gay and wanted to be a woman, neither of which I said yes to.

More recently (although I may get slandered for it) I've gone full. Never make-up, to difficult to remove in a hurry, but I still steal from mother and sister, because I'd be too chicken to buy my own, and my Mum still does all the washing in the house, so there's no way I'd be able to have my own stuff.

I hate having to steal from them, but I've no other choice, and it's that or give it up until I leave home, which could be a long time coming, given my current financial situation, and how expensive and difficult it is to move out in the uk at present.

I shaved my legs for the first time a few weeks ago, and loved the feeling that came with it, just gotta hide my hairfree legs from my family, thankfully I'm not a big fan of shorts, I wear jeans all time. I haven't been caught in recent years at all, I've gotten too good at it, although I've had one or 2 close calls, but I don't take the risks I used to anymore.

I've been lurking around this forum for some time now, picking up hints and tips here and there, it was the comments on how great shaved legs feel that made me finally do it, but I decided perhaps it was time to out myself. I may or may not post often, I'm a shy kinda person, very quiet and nervous and self conscious. There's a possibility I may never out myself in public, or to my family, but for now, I'd be happy just to be able to dress when I want to, not when I can.

I'm currently searching for the perfect make-shift cleavage creation, I've managed some quite satisfactory attempts using egg-shaped polystyrene shapes, they split in half, and have a great shape under a tight t-shirt, and can push up quite a bit of chest skin, but they don't have a realistic movement, water balloons would be nice to try, not sure if I'd have to the guts what with having to steal clothes, if one burst, I'd be done for.

That was a long post, but it's kinda my introduction to the forum at the same time.

[surfergirl17]

haha sorry that turned out so long, i just started typing and didnt stop, i promiss to shorten it next time

[Nyana]

haha sorry that turned out so long, i just started typing and didnt stop, i promiss to shorten it next time

I don't ask you to shorten, we ask you to put some air!

Use the "enter" key on your keyboard ;)

Yours stories are great!

[Bridget]

I'm 22, 23 later this year...I'm partially in, and partially out of the closet. Most people know though. I don't exactly live at home though, so as of right now, I have a huge wardrobe, and have sort of a shopping "problem", that has no signs of abating. Stack this on top of shopping for male clothes, and other stuff, and I'm broke. I mostly dress to go shopping.

When I dress, I dress completely. Most of the time I wear jeans, and a top, with flip flops and maybe a jacket.

I started dressing, well I think the first time I tried to dress was probably 5 or 6. I identify as androgynous or bigender transgender, in that I'm comfortable in both and neither gender. I recall many awkward moments throughout my childhood where I expressed to my peers the desire to change gender. I repressed it for short periods of time, but it stuck as a regular habit continuously since I became 13 or 14. I didn't start buying my own stuff until I turned 18. I started buying too much when I turned 20. I was happy to buy my own stuff, mainly because my mom had an old fashion sense, and my sister had no fashion sense at that time. (Sorry ^^; )

@monkey88, try buying a Nubra for an A cup, and stick it far apart and low. It creates cleavage nicely, sticks easily to the chest, and provides a little volume. Then use with it a pocket bra with inexpensive cup size booster falsies or pads made of silicone A to B, or B to C size. The skin will be pushed up and the cups will be filled out. Best part is, you don't have to deal with shady overpriced online dealers, as all these parts can be bought from any department store lingerie section.

[monkey88]

to be honest, I'd rather deal with online dealers, there's no way I could go into a shop and buy stuff, not right now anyway.

But the problem with buying online is I'm still in the closet to everyone, and if I get a package delivered, my parents are instantly gonna ask what it is. The only way I can think of to get something online is if I can make sure to intercept the post on that day, or buy something a couple of days beforehand of a similar size and convince them I bought it online.

[TV Wannabe]

Hey Ms. Dark, I'm also 19 and a "closeted cd" who lives with her parents. Ive been interested in CDing since about 14 or 15 but I had a few small experiences before that. I really didn't get into it until I joined this forum. It really has helped me to discover who I really am, and it has given me the courage to try on things in the store and buy my own clothes. BTW I love black dresses (or any dress really) and shoes (mostly pumps).

With Love, Diane

[Carmela]

Hey Girls,

I started when I was 5, wearing my neighbors ballet costume. I am 27 now and married, and my wife loves me to dress. My weakness is shoes. i must 40 pairs of shoues around the house. I have a spare bedroom that is dedicated to all of my femme clothes, so I don't have to worry about hiding it. I couldn't ask for a better situation. Well, I could but, but I won't.

[Allie931]

Hi girls =)

Great idea for a thread btw!

I'm 20 years old and still in the closet. I started probably when i was 14 or 15. I've only told one person, that is my ex girl friend. I stopped cding becasue when I told her she freaked out and I loved her too much to hurt her. Since we broke up a little while ago (not because of cding) I decieded to start up again.

The only problem I ever had, and still deal with is that guilt and uneasyness you feel inside. I know its just pressure from society and you should be who you are, but its kinda built into you after a while and hard to shake.

That was my mini rant anyways lol. I guess I just need to get over myself =)

[shybutcurious]

Hi, i am very new to this. i am a bit of a late bloomer. I did wear my sisters panties a couple of times when i was younger but stopped when my mom caught me.
Just recently i have started wearing my sisters panties again, and this morning i thought i would try on her clothes as well. I absolutely loved it. Im like many who have posted on here and live at home so i cant by my own stuff. But hopefully i can tell my sister and she can help me, but im not sure what her reaction would be.
Anyway, im looking to meet guys my age whether its just for a chat or friendship.

[Nyana]

Hey if any of young CD want...we could exchange our msn adresse to chat more..

well if someone is interested just pm me, and i will give mine!!

[joselyn318]

I do not use msn. Instead I use AIM to chat online. If anyone is interested in my screen name just PM me.

[JessiRed]

Hello all, I'm 26 and have been dressing longer than I can remember. My first memory is at 5 years old but my mom told me she caught me at 3. I am "out" to my family and about 1/2 of my friends. I have a wonderful SO who is accepting and I dress freely and as I please. I am one of the lucky ones for sure.

[spaelwitterbok]

I am 24 yrs old and began crossdressing about the age i hit puberty i think. However I stopped when I got caught by my parents, and received some teasing from my step-father on that very subject. Recently however the urge or need im not sure which has re-appeared and I dove into it head first. My SO is very supportive to the extent of helping me with almost every aspect of dressing from shopping to makeup and everything in between.

I get frustrated because I cant get the make up my self yet, but I know that will come in time. Part of the reason I am frustrated is when she is at work I am relegated to "guy mode" unless I dress before. I could 1/2 dress sure but I prefer to do the whole thing.

My favorite clothes are boycut panties probably but I am still suffering from the dreaded empty closet syndrome. :D

O well with time and practice comes experience right?

[Maddie22]

I kinda feel like Amanda666 in taking things further and further...I started when I was around 4 wearing my mom's pantyhose and such, then had my sister dress me...stoped for awhile, then picked it up in 8th grade till about soph year of H.S. stoped for awhile, then started in my 20's buying my own things...Started out mostly lingerie, and I would always go through stints of wanting to dress for a month straight to stopping for 6 months or a year straight, being ashamed and being 100% masucline...now i'm taking it really far, got a wig that I love, make up, dresses, shoes, purse, jewerly, body waxing and all...None of my friends know that I do this...I'm 27 right now, looking to finally go back to college to get out of the town I'm in, and I'm really at a point that I want to share this with some one I know...I don't know where to meet people other than gay bars (and damn it, I don't like men) So I'm pretty lonely right now, not sure what direction to take at all

By the way, I'm a very tall person, and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get really cute shoes that will fit (that aren't stripper shoes) a men's 13-15?? I have a narrow foot, so it can go into smaller sizes

[AllieSF]

Becca,

Check out the some recent posts on shoes and larger feet.

LOL! I can really relate. It's like every year the transformation gets more and more elaborate. My timeline kind of went...

10 years ago -- Just bras, panties, slips
8 years ago -- discovered mom's lipstick, hosiery
6 years ago -- mom's dresses
4 years ago -- waxing, makeup, blushes, perfume
2 years ago -- shoes, handbags,
this year -- first wig, earrings, corset, enhancers, hip padding

...next year, who knows? Voice coaching? Laser hair removal?

[emmerzgurl06]

Isnt is amazing how much all of our stories are similar? We all raided mom/sisters closets, then eventually we got enough courage to go buy the clothes ourselves, and then come out to people?

I started really young. Some neighbors of mine played dress up and I joined in the fun. It was an amazing feeling and I never stopped loving it.

I'm 21 now and I've come out to a couple girls who I love and adore but dont get to see to often. But I've decided to come out to my mom. I'm tired of hiding these feelings now. I live with my folks so it could turn out bad, or it could turn out really well. We'll see.

I would LOVE to chat with any younger gurls to share stories and maybe make a friend or two. Esp if you live in Ohio!

hugs and kisses.

Em

I'd be interested to hear about people that came clean with their moms/sister's about borrowing their clothes...

[shybutcurious]

I still havent come out yet, i dont feel ready. But i nearly got caught twice yesterday. First when my mum came home while i was in my sisters clothes. but i quickly ran to my room and pretended i was sleeping. and later on that night my sister found two of my shirts(for padding) i had left behind in her room. i told her i didnt know. thats is my close encounter with my family

[shybutcurious]

i would love to exchange contacts with you gurls, but i cant pm anyone

[Tasha Meredith]

Hi, shy. PM's will unlock for you on your 10th post. It just gives you time to get settled in and make acquaintance with the rest of the girls. Just hang in there (with your family situation). Living with family and roommates can be taxing but eventually most of us find the freedom we need one way or another.


I'd be interested to hear about people that came clean with their moms/sister's about borrowing their clothes...
I came clean once but only because I was caught. I loved the feeling of waking in something feminine in 8th grade. Mom woke me up one morning. Only this time asking: "why are you wearing a bra?" I realized I had worn her bra to bed and my alarm clock was off. There was no use hiding so sat up in bed revealing the half slip, hose, and gaff (I was tucked) I also had on and she sat down next to me.

I explained that I just "wanted to know what it felt like." She was very sweet and understanding. I guess she thought it was cute. As awkward and embarrassing as it was, it's one of my best crossdressing experiences. She also *hinted* when I left for college that she would love me even if it happened again. She's really an inspiration for me.

[Nyana]

Tasha that was a nice little story!

Your mom seem to be really cool

By the way, im still waiting for MSN adresse to chat more :) :)

[shybutcurious]

Thanks Tasha hun, its good to know that. but i will be on here long after 10 posts anyway. lol
Its nice to meet gurls that i share a same interest with, and i hope to become good friends out of this.
And i love your story about your mom finding out, she would be the mother of my dreams. I also had something happen to me but i was younger then 8th grade, i was wearing my sisters panties, also to see what it was like. and i went in to kiss my mom goodnight. and after the kiss while i was walking away, the panties were showing and she stopped and asked me why i was wearing panties. i told here cause i felt like it. long story short, she gave me a good spanking. which is why i would never come out to my mom, or to my dad.

[shybutcurious]

this year -- first wig, earrings, corset, enhancers, hip padding

...next year, who knows? Voice coaching? Laser hair removal?

I was just curious, the enhancers and hip padding. what kind of shop would i find them in?

[Ashley_25]

I am 25 and I have been dressing for about 10 years. I have told most of my family. My mom, dad, sister and a few cousins know. A few friends know also. Thankfully everyone has been very accepting. I have never really been out dressed up. I have gone out in heels and some stuff underneath. Maybe one day I will but as of right now I am happy just doing it at home.

[gaby818]

wow, all the lost time.
the reason why i said that is because i hear most of yall talking about how you wish you had some privacy to dress up as much as ya want. i feel ya.
i started out dressing up a few times when i was maybe 10 or so. but it didnt really get me going cuz my mom didnt exactly have "victoria secret" type clothes. my sister was way too young. so i pretty much stopped but fantasized about it every so often.
i shared my bedroom with my brother (so you know i had no chances) until i moved out of my parents place for college.
Had a chance to live on my own through college, and start to start to really try out what ive longed for, but i decided i needed some excitement and whatever, so i moved in with a bunch of my friends (6 guys to be exact.) so you know i had no privacy then. (this was what i meant by i feel like i wasted time).
Now im 25, living with my SO for about 4 months, and really getting into "dressing up." Doesnt seem like our relationship is going to last any much more than a month though, if it doesnt its ok because i can afford to live on my own and ill have all the privacy i want! i still have my looks, the bod, the attitude. cant wait for summer!

[5inchHeels]

Bump, this community needs more generation Y.

Where do you girls shop? What's your style?

Victoria Secret is obviously amazing. Bebe is my favorite clothing store, I love the mix of contemporary fashion, sex appeal, and glamour. If only I could afford it.

I think that it would be fun to dress in garish drag and go clubbing. It's certainly not an everyday style, but platforms, pink hair, and a scandalous outfit would make for an entertaining Saturday. :devil:

[MsJoann]

You're off to a good start. It's tough with parents around but I'll guarantee you'll find a way!

[monkey88]

I recently made myself some water forms, used ice cube bags, so they're a bit lumpy, but the weight and bounce feels amazing, first time I've tried it. Anyone else feel this way their first time with bouncy breasts?

[dawnabb]

I started when I was 3, Mom said i came into the living room wearing my sisters dress and stuff. but I don't remember that. Except that it was wrong for boys to wear girls clothes, or to hide it at least.
My first recolection was about 7 and trying on my sisters pantyhose. And 11 dressing up in my Mom's nurses uniform for halloween (i sneaked a pair of my sister's panties to wear underneath that).
Around 13 I started wearing my sister's clothes whenever no one was home. I have been hooked ever since :p

[Gail Stauffer]

well me I'm 26, been dressing more so inthe last 4 years that I've been on my own. would be nice to have parents and relatives that were more understanding and accepting!! but I'm a modest girl, and conservative and classy, just want to fit in as a normal girl.

[missattitude]

I have been dressing since I can remeber. Prob, three or 4. It started witha a pair of tights, and ever since then I have been daring and getting more involved in dressesing. Im currently 23 and living with my b/f. I remeber when I used to live with my parents, trying .to sneek and dressing. But my mom knew and she always let me do it when the kids or dad was not around. Now. I can dress anytime I want tpo, just never really go out in drag exepct for halloween. I go out and buy clothes for me. I still get to nervous sometimes when I buy the clothes. I guress I act like a pussy sometimes, lol. Crossdresss\ing has been an adventure for me, as well as my biggest downfall. One goes threw alot with secrets like that for most of my life. Being young and crossdressing is the best.

[CalvinKlein]

Started with my sisters panties in 3rd grade. The urge to dress came and went as I got older, that is until my sister got a job at Victoria's Secret in about 10th or 11th grade, when I finally was able to drive. Now I'm 21 now and I'm in love with Victoria's Secret underwear! This past year was my first at college where I had a room to myself and found myself underdressing and sleep-dressing as much as I could. Now I'm back home with the rents and working. I find time to go on some road trips, I can't wait for the VS Semi Annual sale.

[Kasandra_]

Hello girls,
I first started dressing when I was around 10-12 as I am now 23, I believe it all started when I started hanging around my cousin who was 1 age younger then I was. She looked so pretty when she was dressed up and I wanted to look just like her. We had the same color hair and body type with the exception of me being 3 inches taller.

So I started to stay over her house more often and hang out with her and her friends and playing different games with them(one i can remember is Girl Talk, it came with a pink phone and index cards telling you different things to do). She wasnt that organized though to my benefit lol, she would leave her panties and thongs all over the house and at night when everyone would fall asleep I would either take some in a different room or the bathroom and try them on.

Ever since then I've been doing it on and off. Sometimes i'll stop for awhile and then I will see something that will trigger it like a cute pair of panties or dress and I will suddenly get the urge to start doing it again. Now that I've had a girlfriend for the last 2 years, clothes are alot easier to come by :D . She doesnt know how much I am into it yet, but I started out wearing her panties a few nights and she was all right with it and it kind of turned her on, so now she doesnt mind me wearing them at all whenever I want(usually when we go to sleep). Im slowly starting to let her in on the rest but well see how it goes.

[heatherts21]

I started around when I was 12 or so

I'm now 24 ;-)
