Hi girls!!
My name is....Β Well, I'll go by Samantha for now. I'm a 48 yr old who has known for the better part of 40 years that I should have been born female, but like so many of my generation (and older), I kept my mouth shut and just gutted it out.
Now, I'm divorced for the past 8 years, and slowly getting my life back together. Part of that is accepting who I am and the (separate but related) issue of my sexuality.
I'm slowly, cautiously coming out of the closet and relieved to find that so far, most have been accepting, or at least understanding. The biggest hurdles are yet to come though... And I guess I am just eager to talk to someone with some similar experiences, and a little girl chat once in a while would be nice too...
Lots more to my story, but this is probably more than enough for my introduction.
Thank you for such a wonderful site where we can chat, explore and support each other!

Welcome Samantha, Iβm so excited to find others on this website who have faced similar life experiences. Β Sometimes you think itβs only you. Β I love cross dressing even though Iβm fairly new. Β Reading the posts here have been very inspirational.
Glad to have you, Samantha.

Hello sisters ,
My name is Brianna A Lynch . I'm in my late 50s , and have been crossdressing and purging forΒ almost 50 years . Around 8th grade my inside voice kept yelling at me that I was suppose to be my mother's daughter , not her son . To keep my father happy I engaged into all the most bravo aspects through high school , but just never fit in. Around the girls I melded almost instantly . In small town mid usa there was only one friend that we could talk but in that time frame and environment , we said nothing to any one for self preservation . We believed that there was something wrong with us , we did not fit . Fast forward a little I am marriedΒ my lovely wife 14 years ago . Old habbits I kept this part of my life hidden and proceeded hidden trying to figure out were I was and were I needed to be . 10 years ago I accepted a challenge to participate in a local public event and finally felt free .Β This of course was a new experience to my wife and she had a blast with it . After seeking some professional help I finally worked out who I am , but yet not how far I need to go . She looked at this as an entertainer , not a life choice . After 3 years of these events my wife is very supportive of my desires in public , but there is stricked limitations . There is 0 support inside the house , her opinion is she maried a man and dose not want to be replaced by a woman , "she is the only woman in this house " . With the help of professionals we have tried to inform her that I am still the person that she married and loves but for my well being I need to be true to my self and who I am . I have always seen myself as a woman , female , but to keep the peace still not completely out of the closet . Almost a year ago the conclusion was made that for me to be a whole person I need to let me out of the closet and live life full time . How far I transition is still yet to be determined . My wife is getting better lttle steps at a time , but do to her upbringing still has concerns of her not being a lesbian She has not got to the point of seeing me and not the dress hair and makeup that I am warring. We want our marrage to remain but she dosnt know if she can handle the transition . She still thinks that she will loose me . She knows were all my things are and barrows / uses my things except for my shoes . She don't were high heels and I love heels , my size is a couple larger than hers . Finding these two sights has been a blessing for me , just wish there is a suport group of you girls in my area
Sincerly
