    Hello there

    I am a male to female crossdresser living in north metro Atlanta. My wife discovered my secret about 9 years ago and has agreed to accept me for who I am. Although she has trouble with it at times but is trying to be supportive.

    For about 8 years I have been getting out about twice a month. My wife is the only person in my circle of family / friends that knows about my feminine side. Early on my therapist suggested that I try to expand my network throughout the LGBT community and surrond myself with friends who accept me. Which finding other cd's as friends has been pretty easy but the rest of the community it has been somewhat difficult.

    Anyway I am here to learn about the other segments of the LGBT community and to share what I know about my little world.

    Hugs,

    Welcome to EC~ <3

    It's wonderful that your wife supports you, even when she doesn't really understand. It can be difficult for people who don't experience the same things, but it's very obvious that she's trying, which is a great place to start.

    If you need help with anything, feel free to ask, and I hope you enjoy your time here!

    Welcome to EC.

    Folks are pretty open here, also warm and laid back, so don't be afraid to ask or express yourself.

    There is a section called Gender Identity and Expresion, you might want to check it out.

    Enjoy your stay.

    Hey there, welcome to EC! I'm in quite similar circumstances - maybe not the same boat, but certainly the same fleet.

    Welcome to the wacky world that is EC! It'll take time to get used to this place but it's like a really good bar, it's open all hours and everyone's a little cooky. Hope you enjoy your time here. (*hug*)
