Hi Helen, long time no-see!
There's always the Uniquetg Christmas Party at the new venue in Prestatyn on Nov 25th?
Hi Helen, almost reached 7 as you know. Almost became 7 when my right knee started playing up again but got called into hospital a few months ago (during lockdown!) to have the half knee replaced...
Glad you enjoyed Penrhyn Castle, Helen. Your presentation when I met you on Thursday evening said you've no need to worry about going out amongst the muggles! Yes, Julie's presentation has got...
Well, well Helen, can see Cheshire Oaks from our hilltop just over the border in Wales. FYI, the sa's in M&S along the coast at their Prestatyn branch are very CD friendly. They invited themselves...
Well, yes, erm... Difficult to relate to without going off into some of the not's you've asked us not to comment on.
I was born a boy and brought up as one - although looking back over my life, I...
Ages since I've been on but this question caught my eye. Last week I went out to my local trans group meeting. I'm strictly a hetero-CD of 35+ years. My wife knows and has helped me a lot to try and...
Yes indeed, many, many thanks to our GG members. Especially my SO who despite the trials of my early years when I first came out to her, has stood by me and offered much advice, occasionally done my...
Often wondered but still happier as a man most of the time, just like to get dressed up and present as female from time to time. In the late-70's when I really started CDing, I tried psychiatric...
That's cleared something up for me, I'd always wondered how others felt getting dressed with their SO's present. As Niki has said, I too feel a bit embarrassed getting dressed in front of my SO -...

I do indeed try and let my wife (Allsteamedup) know when the 'fog is drifting in and I need to dress - 'how other things in life lose their importance' as you put it. She will usually say,...
Hi Isha and All
I seem to be like the majority - a type 1 with the occasional drift into type 3 - the 'pink fog'.
I still work in a very male orientated place and love my job (heavy...
Similar to you Linda, except I don't wear anything when out in drab. Most evenings I put my gold studs in unless I'm dressing up. Then, the danglers come out... I still remember the pain when taking...
Jessica
I'm just a straight CDer of close to 40 years who doesn't want to go any further than looking like a reasonably classy lady every now and then.
To me, Ellie has hit the nail on the...

It is possible but in my case it has taken more than 30yrs. I'm still not entirely convinced, sometimes I wonder just why I'm drawn to a female alta-ego and go for some time without...
Evening Gurls
My perspective is like most - to just look like a respectable lady and not frighten anyone. Don't go out too often and then only to meetings of the local CDers group. Last year I had...
Just a note to all UK gurls. I've just learned that Transpose in Ellesmere Port, a well regarded makeover shop closed down on 31st Jan. I don't know the reason but their website had gradually reduced...
Hi Stephanie
I'm sorry things aren't working out too well for you. I had similar nearly 40yrs ago. We did go for counselling but it wasn't that good in those days, little was known about CDing...
There have been many replies to this post so far and I have to say, I can agree with most of the sentiments expressed. After nearly 40 years, I still don't know the answer as to why I crossdress!! It...
Well I did it last year at 60. It was, I suppose, a bit mid-life crisis led. I'd talked off and on about the possibility with my SO over perhaps a year or so and had broad agreement to wait until I...
Hi Steph
Sorry to hear about your ticker problems. Sounds like you're well on the mend though.
Following an operation on my knee last year, I suffered odoema in my legs and guess what? My...
Hi Fredierique,
Yep, yet another plain old vanilla. Like most who've replied so far, I too am just a CDer who has no interest in transitioning. I too am married with a supportive wife and...
Well... It was she who introduced me to this site!
Haven't a clue what she says about me on the gg's only forum...

Polly
Well, like most of the other gurls, I just don't know the answer 'why'... I think something must have clicked when I used to do amateur dramatics when I was just into my teens. It was always male...
Dear Anne
Why were you so scared? From your picture, you really look the part - just wish I looked as good as you!
However, it's not that long ago that I took that first baby-step out and I...
Well said babes... You're so right when you talk of the stigma that we assume others have (mostly true) in how they look at us CDers. Likewise the internal strife that most of us fight with because...
