Hope I am posting this in the right forum. How did you find this site? For example: Jenna and I were talking about crossdressing a few weeks ago and she told me about this site and sent me a link to it and decided to check it out.

I was doing a search on "Drag Queens" of all things. Believe it or not.:)
Hi Cristy. I knew about this site for quite awhile. I used to browse the MTF section. I had accepted that I was TG at the time and decided to try and help others that were struggling accept themselves. It seemed like a cool place, so here I am.:)
Upon realizing I was us crossdresser I began searching the Internet and found this site.

Cannot remember- i've known about it for a long time before i became active. Undoubtedly through various google searches and links from other sites found in searches. I think i joined years before, but wasn't 'active'.
A link from amazon that appeared while I was looking for books by Peggy Rudd. Amazing how one simple link changed my life forever.
I don't remember as I watched this site (as a non member) for a long time. I probably made a google search for "crossdressers", looking for clothes, forms, makeup info, etc.
Wat too true. I can think of several times I've discovered things by following some link.Quote:

Heck, I'm not exactly sure. Might have been a botched search or a link from somewhere else. Could have just been dumb blind luck (happening with increasing frequency of late ;)
Whatever the method, or lack thereof, I could not be happier with the results. Such a great forum, so much information, so many lovely girls.
TC Cristy.
I searched google for "crossdressers" saw this site, lurked for about 2 years then joined and glad I did :)
I bumped into it every now and then looking for tips, the community seemed solid, so figured I might as well sign up.
There's a Dutch CD-related website as well, but I never felt compelled to sign up based on what I read there, and recently it has turned into a landfill of unattended spam threads anyway, so I'm extra grateful this site is doing so well.
Google search for me...I just kept looking till I found a home.
I arrived by dogsled. They ran off while I was checking this place out so I am still here.
I don't remember. Ben too long.

searched on google and found this site and so glad i did its great place
Kind of a funny story. Not too long ago, after I had pretty much given up dressing for six or seven years, I suddenly had a very strong urge, and found that I really, really enjoyed it again. Then that urge went away... and then it came back. It seemed to me that it correlated with a particular drug - I had started, my doctor and I decided it wasn't the right one for my issue, so I moved to another and then I realized that the first one was better - so I asked the doctor to restart the prescription. But I couldn't believe that any drug would have the side effect of making me want to dress. So I did a google search on "wellbutrin crossdressing" and found a thread here on that exact same issue. In a half hour of research, I found at least a dozen people who had the same reaction. SO it wasn't that outlandish after all. Anyway, I enjoyed that thread and decided to join.

Google is a girl's best friend. This was one of the first sites came up on my Google search for forums and as I browsed the ones I found, this one seemed like it had the most to offer. Very happy I've found it.
I sort of stumbled onto it by mistake, but am really glad I did.
I started getting into TG fiction and captions a little over 10 years ago. Back then it hadn't occurred to me that I might enjoy dressing. The stereotypical point of view on the topic put the thought way out of my head. Years go by, I'm in college one day, and did some filtered search, forget what for, something like "Transformation" "man into woman". One of the results was for a post on here, and after reading it, began to devour more posts. It was striking to read posts I could have written myself about the feelings I was having. Even more striking is that, unlike what I was programmed to believe about CDers, the people whose posts I was reading were regular folks that just happened to dress like women sometimes. Right away I wanted to try it. Maybe I wouldn't like it and the desire would fizzle once I got it out of my system. Of course it didn't. I lurked for a few months, stored up some courage and bought some things. Tried it, loved it, joined as a member and posted my intro the same day.
So there you have it. How I found the place, and what it did to me. Anyone who was a posting member before 2009 is responsible for making me into a crossdresser (i kid), but thanks! (I really do mean the thank you bit though)
I found this site with a Google search just like I find most anything else. ;)
Took a wrong turn at the corner and stopped to ask directions.
I don't remember exactly where I saw it but clicked on the link.
Belonged to another site I was not enjoying, so I googled crossdressers, funny first site that came up was this one, I've been here every since.
Yep, definitely a girl.Quote:

Dressing for a while and then the wardrobe starting expanding.... shopping addict I guess. So I queried, okay googled, "how to hide your female clothes" and up popped a link and an answer... Searched the site a little deeper and found a 'home'. Oh yea, also found a great place to hide the clothes.....

LOL! Naughty naughty!! :)Quote:

Hi Cristi, I did the exact same thing as Stephanie didQuote:

As a "plain ole boring crossdresser" joining really has been the best thing I have done for myself in a long long time. I have been very happy to find so many others who are a lot like me.
Once I had the courage to tell my wife--accepting this part of me in the process--I immediately sought like minded people.
Didn't know a thing about crossdressing, even though I did it since I was 6. Then I found this site....explored....became me...joined a couple of CD/TG support groups....found my place on the spectrum, and what you see is what you get.
I did a search on crossdressing friendly shopping places in Atlanta. One of the responses was a suggestion to someone from here. So I checked out the source... which was crossdressers.com. Now I'm here :)
My wife found it and told me about it.
I was googling a question I had and it came up and I thought Well duh! of course! Why wasn't I looking for a forum?
I read a bit and then decided it might be helpful for myself and my husband so I sent him the link.
I do remember how I first got here, a long time ago. It was via the Open Directory Project, under Society - Transgendered - Crossdressing - Chats and Forums. Simple enough, huh? :)

I will say I found this site through a google search.......but mine was out of shear desperation. I lurked for a long time and was RELIEVED to find out that I was not alone. The stress and depression of being different was killing me. This site has literally transformed my thinking on the matter and made me realize that no matter what I do I cannot make my fem side go away. As I sit here I am not really interested in dressing but I have made a pact with myself that I will visit here on a regular basis to remind me who I am. In doing this I am trying to find my center rather than the extreme swings from dressing to guy stuff. It is working so far but it has only been a couple months.
Thanks Girls!!!!

Dont remember but sure am glad i found this site wont ever leave. LOL im so glad i can talk to others who have been there and know what we are going thru everyday.thanks for all of your support
I was thinking further on that as well. I wonder if anyone ended up hear accidentally "hint, hint", buy innocently looking up CD's in the banking sense, "certificate deposit"?Quote:

I was googling PVC forum and this sight was included.
I was trying to learn more about myself and looking for support sites, I found a few forums that are of course all supportive :)
I stuck with this one however since it seems to have the most helpful and nice community that still remains active that i've seen so far :D
It is kinda like when you're driving in your car and suddenly you realize that you are miles down the road and you can't remember how you got there! Or where you are going?
You stop at one of those rest areas that has a one of those maps that says "You are HERE."
OK. Now you know where you are.
MAKE THE BEST IT....EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
Before this site, I didn't even know I was CD/TG. I didn't know there were such things as breast forms, gaffs, tucking, beard cover, etc. I just knew that I truly enjoyed dressing and pretending I was female. I was so confused for most of my life because I always felt that I was different than my brothers, friends, and cousins. I didn't even come to grips with the fact that I had a secret crush on my best friend, a male. Well, I didn't realize it was a crush until a few years ago, and I was married to a beautiful woman and mother of my little girl at the time.
So the way I stumbled onto this site was purely by chance. I was at work doing research when I saw the word "crossdressers" and wondered what that was. Being curious, I clicked on the link and a whole new world opened up. I was a part of that world and didn't even know it! I am now myself and enjoy being who I am. I'm not as confused anymore thanks to all the wonderful ladies that call this site home.
A couple of years ago I was on another site hewearspanties dot com and someone started a thread about what other sites do you belong to. This was one of the sites. Lurked for a while, the joined. Been hooked ever since.
A general search on the Internet. Peruse the sites. Most were obnoxious and objectionable. This site appeared to be the site for cross dressing men who are just interested in wearing women's clothing. I lurked for awhile before joining.
I was doing a google search on "crossdressing" looking for crossdresser clothing. I read a few of the posts and immediately realized that this site was for me. I applied for membership immediately, and couldn't wait to make my first post.
I found this site by thinking to myself there is everything under the sun.COM there should be a crossersdressers.com so I punched it in and have been here ever since. And I thank god every day that have found all of you wonderful ladies to learn so much from!
I found this site a long time ago by searching for crossdressing blogs. I finally decided to join. Now I wish I did a long time ago.
