This is sort of my out coming

Post by Shalindra »

Hello everyone

My name is Shally :) It feels odd using this name now. I used it for many years pretending to be a female on-line, not i am using it as my name because i am opening up to my new world of who I am. I found out recently that i am transgender. I used to think that term only applied to people who changed their gender. I know better now. I have been dressing in private and alone for 36 years, since i was 4 years old. That sounds funny, being 4 and a cross dresser, but that is when I came into posession of my first dress, and i have desired to dress up ever since.

I have had much difficulty in my life and some of it has been aggravated by my dressing up, including my divorce. I am really new to this and since my divorce, I am discovering my freedom to express myself. and here I am. Thank you Beauty for leading me to this forum which you moderate.

I do not know what else to say. It almost feelins like you see in movies about people who go to AA meetings... My name is Brian/Shally/Shalindra, and i am transgender ...lol

Thank you for listening to my rambling

Hi Shally,

Nice name! ;)

Glad you could make it over here! :)

This is a great place!!! I'm sure you'll learn a lot about yourself. Not only do you learn from others about yourself, but you learn how women cope with a CrossDressing SO. :) There's also a friends and family section on the site.

We have an SO only area here where SO's are allowed to share their thoughts without any TG'd folks hindering or interupting their discussions. I know I've learned a lot about how they feel from there.

Shannon and Sharon are your hosts and all of the members here are just incredible, nice, and full of information. :) There are tons of great threads here too.

So, enjoy! :) Again, welcome!!! :)

Welcome Shally, Come on in kick off the heels, or not, and check this place out. If you read something that you would like to coment on, reply. If you have any questions or if there is anything you would like to tell us about or just share with us, start a new topic.

I have resently joined this group and it has become my cup of coffee in the morning and my welcome home at night when I get home from work. The gals are always up to something and I have felt very welcome and have enjoyed my self here as I know you will also.

As far as starting to dress at four years of age? From what I have read you fit right in with a lot of the other gals. I started when I was ten years old just a late bloomer :wink:
