Crossdressers-Haven.com

Greetings to all from Silver Spring, Maryland. Hope I'm doing this properly, as I haven't participated in many of these on line forums on any topic. I am, as they say, a heterosexual cross-dresser-- single, never married, no children. In 1996 I dressed as a cheerleader for Halloween and really got a kick out of it. Didn't dress much after that-- basically once a year to celebrate Halloween until... 2000 when I attended the IFGE convention in Arlington, Virginia. Metro accessible and curiosity got the better of me. I will say that I've been fascinated by CD's and CD'ing for a long time, ever since I was 8 years old at day camp and the campers put on a play where one of the boys was dressed as a girl. Anyhow the convention was a mind blower-- I've attended a few more since then-- but I'll never forget that first one. One of the TS's even showed me a photo of her former male self. I was touched by her showing that much trust in me. Since that convention I joined the Transgender Education Association (support group in the Washington, D.C. area) and get to their meetings on and off. I get out at least several times a month-- either because I'm doing the cheerleader thing for a protest or other specifc event or shopping or going to a wig shop. My dressing style is a blend of hippie, preppy, and "nice girl." Nothing really extreme-- sometimes I just call it "nice girl with a hippie accent." I've bought clothing at vintage shops and conventional stores such as GAP, JC PENNY, Burlington Coat Factory, and HECHTS. I do not go shopping "dressed" all the time; in some locations-- with an abundance of teenagers and young men-- that would be foolhardy. I am a telephone fundraiser for a non profit peace group and have been writing about music for over 25 years on a free lance basis. Well, that's the intro. Best wishes for the holiday season to everyone. Peace-- Kendra Lynn.

Welcome to the group. Here you will find a diverse group of ladies with various view points. Hoping you become an active participant in the forum.

Hi Kendra--
That's quite a resume you have going. What grabs our attention can be slight--that one incident at camp, for instance. Picking and choosing where you're going to go out is always good practice. Welcome to this forum!

Kendra,

I'm glad you joined the Forum. I think you will find it is a nice place to chat and discuss T-related topics.

I'm also glad you were able to attend the TGEA holiday party last night.

Hi Kendra Lynn,

Welcome to the forum
- from what you, DonnaT and Sharon Rose have to say about the TGEA, it sounds like a really fine organization of many interesting and supportive people - I think I'm becoming a bit envious

I'll be looking forward to learning more about 'your life', and especially about your interest in music
