"Looks like someone needs a dress." is not a comment that is intended to make you uncomfortable. It is a conversation starter, made by someone who's seen a crossdresser before and is trying to be...

Its really upsetting, Jenna, to know there are still some SAs who are uncomfortable with us. That has totally not been my experience. Many times I have had SAs show me a dress and tell me how they're...

Doesn't that make you feel great? I love clothes shopping. At the stores I go to, there is always a sales person who knows me and my personal style. They will tell me right away if something looks...

These things go in cycles, and Covid has put a damper on everything. At my favorite dress shop, they tell me dress sales are down because no one has an occasion that requires a new dress.

I really...

Sort of. Geri is about 10 years older than me so I think of her as my big sister. I met her when I was just getting up the courage to walk into a dress store and shop like a normal customer. She was...

Thanks for sharing. This is the kind of story I love most and can't get enough of. It demonstrates once again that dressing is not a big deal anymore. I know it certainly used to be. I was a teenager...

You have a wonderful sister, and it sounds like you might have similar dress sizes. Even better.

Its my shoes, whichever ones I choose for the outfit I'm putting together. Many women with whom I've talked about clothes say the same thing. Very often, I've looked at myself in the mirror in the...

What a strange way to brag about your bra size.

I absolutely LOVE that story! Your aunt is amazing and generous and any of us here would be so grateful to have that kind of support. It also goes to show that getting caught isn't always the...

Do you feel the need to stay hidden? If so, I feel bad for you, because the world is friendlier than you think. But I also know how hard those early steps can be. I hope I can convince you that it...

That is beautiful. I love how you Identify as trans but feel no need to transition, so you don't. You are living your truth, and very happy about it. Isn't it nice how women so easily accept you as...

I'm sorry to hear of your marital troubles. But then, she says she's forgiven you. For what? The dressing? There's nothing wrong with it. She should be making some act of contrition for hating your...

Nice story. Everyone needs cousins as nice as yours.

My presentation is "Man in a Dress". No breasts, no wig no makeup. Im not trying to fool anyone. I have a dear friend, who was once my favorite dress shop SA, that I go to lunch with about once a...

Good for you. I'm happy it worked out in such a positive way. It sounds like this was just the proverbial "push off the dock" you needed, and it went perfectly. My experience has been that it was...

I've gotten a lot of compliments on my presentation. Some from SAs (well duh, they're trying to sell clothes. I disagree. Many have become dear friends and have too much integrity to lie for the sake...

I've never been to a CDer boutique. Mainstream dress stores work perfectly for me. I do miss Payless shoes, even though their largest shoes only worked for me part of the time. One outlet had an...

Much the same for us. We are mortgage free, empty nester grandparents planning for retirement in 3 to 5 years. My wife, who once viscerally hated my dressing, has made her peace with it and will even...

I'm happy for you. Mothers are great, aren't they? Full of unconditional love. Mostly. She is developing some dementia. The conversation you had with your mother is a non-starter for me and mine....

I hear you sister. But for me, the most valuable service this forum provides is the stories illustrating that it's possible to make your way in the world as a crossdresser, and that it's easier than...

You're 37. You're an adult and at a distinct advantage if your dad wants to physically assault you. What do you have to worry about? You can, at any time, respond to his hate rhetoric by saying...

I say we definitely fall under the T. I am a firm believer that transgenderism is not a binary yes/no, on/off proposition, but a continuum. Think of it not as a light switch, but a dimmer switch ...

If I'm not wearing a dress or skirt, I look like an alpha male, and an intimidating one at that. No one who hasn't seen me dressed would ever guess that about me.

That said, I am at my best, most...

All those "barriers" are falling away, although not at the same pace everywhere. I happen to live where the general attitude is "Live and let live" and crossdressing is Not A Big Deal. I regullarly...
