Hello,

My name is Chris and I have been a LONG time lurker on this forum. I have come to the realization that I have a desire to crossdress. Not just pretend to be a crossdresser, but to actually try to do so in semi-public controlled situations.

My experiences have been very limited to crossdressing on Halloween as a 'joke', I think we all know what that means for some of us? Also I have worn female undergarments under my work clothes from time to time including pantyhose.

Pantyhose is what got me into all this.

Here we go. I do not know what the next step is for me, or what should it be? I am desiring to dress in a safe environment in front of anyone else besides myself. I am 6'2" overweight, could not pass, have a goatee and am unwilling to shave the goatee. I am not sure where that leaves me. I am sure because of not wanting to shave I am not a true crossdresser or some such thing, I just don't know.

Any ideas of where to go with this, what should be the next step, how do you get a safe place to dress, etc. would be great.

I live in the Boston area.

I am excited, confused, nervous, and I am sure a ton of other emotions.

Thanks,
Chris
