Express your true self

Wearing clothes usually associated with another gender. For many men it's a way to show a softer, feminine side – a femme persona – they can't show day to day. A hobby, a lifestyle or simply stress relief.

CD is the common umbrella term. TV (transvestite) is older but still used by many. Sissy usually means feminisation play, often with submission. Femboy describes a younger, effeminate look. All are welcome.

A trans woman is a woman, all day, every day. A crossdresser usually identifies as a man who enjoys dressing en femme. Some later realise they're trans; many never do. Trans women have their own community: Trans KinxHub.

Usually men, sometimes women or couples, attracted to crossdressers – the effort, the make-up, the blend of masculine and feminine. A genuine admirer can make a CD feel desired and passable.

Yes. You don't need your face in your public photo. Your real name and email are never shown, and other members see only your nearest town, never your address.

The euphoric, sometimes overwhelming rush of being dressed. It can lead to impulsive decisions. If you're dating a CD, knowing it's a powerful release helps – talk about how often "she" will appear.

Video call first. Then pick somewhere public – a queer-friendly bar or a neutral coffee shop.

Say so. Many admirers are happy with a night in – or helping with your make-up – once trust is there.
