Girls,
I have a different outlook on this issue.
The male is brought up in a different environment – he is taught to be macho, not express any emotion and believe in his self importance.
The traits that make the person are very much open to both sides of the gender world, namely;
Listening (as against just hearing).
Empathy (caring about people & showing emotion)
Healing (wanting to creat friend rather than remaining enemies).
Persuation (as against manipulation).
Respect (toward others)
Focus of what I am rather than who I am.
Growth of the individual (probably seen more in bring up children).Fortunately, the female gender show these trait more often although it is catching on in the male world.
It’s the quality of the person and not their gender that counts.
For us CDs, stepping into the other side brings these traits out because we subconsciously recognise them, they appeal to us and we want to be part of it. As the TV commercial says “I’ll have some of what she’s having”.That’s all from me as a start to the day.
Hugs,

Girls,
This is a topic very close to my heart.
I think it is about time we had a Transgender Convention and I am in the process of drawing up a plan for a 4 day convention in Sydney in Y2006. The idea is that the convention will be an avenue to meet, learn and have fun.Once this broad plan has been drawn I intend to canvass the idea with various parties in Sydney to see what level of support the idea will receive and then hopefully to State associations.
We need to lift our profile and that way the general public may become more understanding and accepting of us rather than associating us with the images presented in some media outlets (i.e. Jerry Springer).
Cheers,
Wendy

Joanne,
I was visiting Perth about 2 months back and went to a Chameleon function at an Op/second hand shop. I think it was at Applecross.
Send Phillippa (WA girl) an email and she will put you on the right track.
Cheers,

Sammy,
You can get them locally (WA) through Phillippa Curves.
She has them in stock or did so a few days ago when I ordered a Diva.
Email address follows: phillippas_curves@yahoo.com.au
Hope that helps.

Katherine,
I’m not giving up by any stretch of the imagination.Just making the general observation about help & support which we all need to keep going.
It is obvious that some girls have tried to lift this to a “group level” without to much sucess. We need to ensure that it (help & support) grows at individual level.
Cheers,
Wendy

Anne & Other Girls,
Obviously another disappointing story that wants to make you give up.
Perhaps we all need to re-start our building at base level – providing help and support at individual rather than a group level.
Whilst I am far from being an experienced CD (from a going out in public perspective) I’m certainly prepared to offer whatever reasonable help and support I can provide.
If we can achieve this inter-action at individual level then we will flourish at group level. Otherwise, disappointment and gloom will be the front runner.
I think, I’ve said enough on this topic.
Cheers,
Wendy

Monique,
The point is well illustrated.

Hi Everyone,
I’m in total agreeance with Sarah.
When cross dressing and seeking to go out in public we need help & support not only in our appearance (makeup and dress standards) but also to build that needed confidence.
If we don’t support each other then we will remain in the closet forever (that’s Ok, if you just want to be there).
Sometimes we need that extra push to help embark of that journey.
I took the first real step on New Year’s eve and went to a restaurant – yes, nothing said.
For me, it has been a six month journey from being closeted to out in public and I know I wouldn’t been there if it hadn’t be for the support from a couple of girls to who I am thankful to for their contribution to my journey.
Help & support are key factors in our journey.Cheers,
Wendy
