Why are you here?

[Jodi]

There had been a prior cd message board that I had joined in 2000. I was active on it before it dissolved in around 2005 or so. At that time members were referring to this MB and I lurked for a while, then joined.

I'm here for a number of reasons. It's fun to talk about cross-dressing. I've received some valuable makeup and presentation tips. But mostly, it's about feeling part of a community. That's the same reason I go to a local CD social group---to be part of a community.

[Lorileah]

I think I was referred here, then I lost the keys to the car and couldn't leave.

I stayed because I liked the discussions and for the free lunches

[Laura Collette]

I began crossdressing again last year after a long time without, and decided I need to learn more about myself -- so I did a search and found this forum. I was glad to see that there are many like me here, in the closet and not transitioning or on hormones. Reading here is a validation and posting here is an outlet for feelings I can't express elsewhere.

[Marcie]

I love to hear the comments from our other sisters, they give us a lot of good advice on makeup and proper choices of clothing. They also give some good advice on safety issues when travelling outside.

I joined here 9 yrs ago I had a good friend that was a cder was looking for info to help her. ( I also had an ex that was a cder)
Met alot of friends and stayed here THEN met Sherlyn here dated then married.
So that is how I came here......and why I am still here.

[Talisker]

[Elle1946]

Because the people that are here understand me and I understand them.

[Drusilla]

I came here as I wanted (or needed) a place where I could openly admit and talk about all aspects of crossdressing.

[MzVanessa]

Hi everyone... I'm new to the forums and the reason I'm here is to make new friends and hopefully find the encouragement and strength to allow my femme side to become a bigger part of my life.

[Sheila11]

I just showed up for the free food.

Still looking.

[JamieQ]

Here to find answers and to confirm or validate...Hopefully also to find freinds...Share real life xperiences, and the blessings and curses of it all...support to know I am not alone...

[Sandra]

Why am I here......cos Tamara won't let me leave

[Julie1123]

A few things, information, affirmation, and a place to vent my crossdressing thoughts.

As well as and most importantly, the people, I've said it before and I'll say it many more times. You all are great. Many of you have helped me immensely.

A good question , I originally joined because it seemed like a safe idea to join a forum that was not very local I had originally started to join a local one but they wanted more from me than I wanted to give at that time and I had to use a library computer that would not let me send messages to a CD site so I stuck with this one
I do not know what I was really looking for but thought it could not do to much harm by being here ( well harm to myself ,I do not know about harm to you lot of lovely people) I will admit that at first I thought it was quite a simple thing that it was just about wearing different clothes so there would not be much for me to learn about myself , how wrong was I , being here has showed me that for myself it runs much deeper than that and in fact it has less to do with the clothes and more with what is inside of me , the clothes are secondary not the priority.
Why am I still her , I enjoy it so you lot are stuck with me and Admin has been kind enough to let me on here ( so blame them ) and don't PM Admin as a certain one might have angelic looks but a blooming hard bite , now I am going off topic so I had better close .

[Jonithan]

I'm here to know that I am not alone. That there is nothing wrong with me. That there is a deeper meaning to why I am who I am. As opposed to technical forums I belong to, in an emotional(???) forum, there is no right or wrong. This is the year I start my journey with all of you....

[Jorja]

I was on a fishing trip, the boat hit a hidden rock and sunk the boat. When I finally swam ashore I thought the sign said Gilligan's Island. That's my story and I am sticking to it!

[Kate Simmons]

It's nice to know that the Forum provides a fairly safe haven for some we would otherwise not hear from. I love reading about everyone's thoughts and feelings on things.

[Sandygal]

Because it felt wonderfull knowing I wasn't alone.

[Sandra]

Ok serious answer now.

I like being here, I like trying to help others and will offer advise to anyone, then it's up to them to take it or leave it.

[Chickhe]

At the start it was an attempt to answer 'why'. The freedom to share stories and read other real experiences allowed me to see that I was not alone and I stuck with this site because it was the only one that was respectable even though its a bit too far on the controlling side. I never exactly answered why, but I now just enjoy reading about other people's experiences. By interacting with others anonymously and not having to be committed to local group at a specific time or location allows for a pretty safe way to learn about yourself.

[LilSissyStevie]

I came her because I was burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night. I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque!

[Madilyn A.]

Like so many; trying to answer the questions about my unusual behavior, crossdressing. Then finding so many really wonderful friends who have journeyed the same paths as myself and the feeling of belonging to a very special group of people.

[reb.femme]

NicoleScott and Zylia basically covered all the bases for me.

Almost two years ago, I was feeling isolated and entering a period of change from fetish dressing to pure crossdressing (does such a state exist ) and this was when I started surfing for like minds and happened upon this site. I'm active...ish on another UK site but 90 plus percent of my forum time is spent here.
