What is Tri-Ess ?

 

Tri-Ess is an educational, social and support group for heterosexual crossdressers, their partners, the spouses of married crossdressers and their families. We believe that we are blessed with an additional facet to our personalities. If we accept our crossgendered side, and explore it, we will find a broadening of the entire personality, which can be very fulfilling. We dress in emulation, rather than in mockery, of femininity. The Tri-Ess philosophy can be expressed in the acronym FIBER:

    F - Full personality expression in both its masculine and its feminine aspects. We do not wish to destroy our masculinity, but to soften its harsher aspects, and be all we can be.

    I - Integration of masculinity and femininity to create a happier whole person.

    B - Balance between masculinity and femininity.

    E - Education or crossdressers and their families toward self-acceptance; education of society toward accepting crossdressing people.

    R - Relationship-building in the context of crossdressing.

Tri-Ess - The Society for the Second Self - The world's largest organization dedicated to the needs of the cross-dresser.  I heartily recommend them and their programs.

  • CDTRIESS - a support forum for the heterosexual crossdresser. It is a place to get answers to some of your most intimate cross-dressing questions from people who have been there. It is also a place for those who have been there to help those who are new to openly expressing themselves without societies gender restrictions.
     
  • CROSSDRESSINFO.COM
    (Formerly www.triess-outreach.org)
    "A crossdresser is typically a person who enjoys dressing in the clothes of the other sex. Most cross-dressing males are heterosexual  (many of whom are married with children) who have no interest in same sexual behavior and who have no interest in having an operation to become a biological female (as is true of a transsexual). Most crossdressers enjoy time in both the masculine and feminine role; dressing as a woman simply allows them to express their feminine self."

The "Femme" Mirror - Understanding for heterosexual male transvestites and those who love them

Unless you live alone in a cave, one of your closest friends is a transvestite who is dying inside because he can't tell you.
Society tells such men that there is something wrong with them, so they suppress their true selves and live in anguish and isolation.

This series of articles promotes understanding for heterosexual male transvestites and those who love them. If you are a cross-dresser or care about someone who is, this series provides invaluable insights into the issues you face.

CDFriends  -  Connecting Crossdressers and Friends Worldwide

This website is dedicated to all the wonderful people who deal with transgender issues on a daily basis. It is my hope to provide insight, assistance, and friendship to all crossdressers, their significant others, friends, and admirers. Most people have no idea how difficult life can be for a crossdresser, closeted or out. Let's do what we can to make this phenomenon more acceptable and respected.

Psychology of Crossdressing and Transvestism

"Moderation in all things"
 
There are lots of fun websites for crossdressers. But from time to time, every crossdresser asks serious questions, too.

Questions like:

    • Should I crossdress?
    • How far should I go?
    • I'd love to take female hormones--but should I?
    • In the long run, is this helping or hurting me?

This site is to help crossdressers with those questions.

Who we are?

Nearly all of us are married or have been in the past. We are loving husbands and fathers, the type of person you would find next door.

We work in offices, drive trucks, work in construction, are doctors, lawyers, musicians or even your friendly police officer - literally all occupations.

We are white, black, red, yellow, young, old (well, not THAT old), rich, poor and everything in between. In other words, perfectly normal people you meet from day to day. In addition, we are what some call transvestites (trans - over, across + vestire - to dress, clothing, attire) or more commonly known simply as crossdressers.

 

 

 

Who We Are

The Neutral Corner was founded in 1985 as a nonprofit organization registered with the state of California.  Created as a self-help support group to assist crossdressers, transsexuals and their spouses or significant others, we are dedicated to helping individuals understand and adjust to the phenomena of gender dysphoria. We provide a contact point for transgender individuals.

For many, a Neutral Corner meeting provides his or her first encounter with other transgender individuals. For many, it opens their eyes to the fact that they are not alone in their situation, that there are others like them who understand what they are going through.

The focus of much of our efforts is to foster a greater understanding of the implications of gender dysphoria, not only for the transgender individual, but also for those who are not transgendered. Neutral Corner provides speakers for community, medical and educational seminars in order to broaden public understanding of transgender individuals.

Innvestments

Crossdressing, Transgender, Transsexuals on Cape Cod

 Innvestments is a non-sexual organization founded to support and to provide a socially acceptable outlet for the crossdresser, transvestite, transsexual and transgendered community located primarily on CAPE COD, the Islands and Southeastern Massachusetts. We are NOT a dating service.  Innvestments prides itself on accepting all members of the transgendered community to our group. Whether you are an occasional crossdresser, a transsexual, be it Male to Female or Female to Male, or living full time as a member of the opposite gender you will find yourself welcome in our group. We encourage all our members to explore their gender gifts at their own pace. No one will push you beyond your desired limits.

The Sunshine Club was founded in 1992 as a social, support, and educational group for members of the transgendered community, significant others, and allies. According to the Sunshine Club's Statement of Purpose, a transgendered individual, "is male or female, who identifies himself/herself to some degree as a member of the opposite gender." The transgendered (TG) community is incredibly diverse. It includes those who crossdress occasionally in private, persons who go out dressed as the other gender in public, as well as transsexuals who live full time as a member of the other gender. While male to female transgendered people are most common within the community, female to male transgenders make up a significant part of the TG population.

Whatever our differences, however, we have all felt shame and isolation as a result of our transgenderism. By meeting with others who have had similar feelings and experiences we learn to focus on the many positive aspects of being a transgendered person, and learn to be comfortable in our own unique identities.

Welcome to a growing online community that is dedicated to supporting and helping each other. We welcome all individuals and groups that are interested or involved in the Transgendered Community. We only ask that you enter with an open mind and a spirit of fairness to all. This site is meant to serve as a supportive resource for members of the Transgender Community. It contains information and links pertinent to folks engaging in a TG lifestyle. It is not a site for erotic or sexual content. We hope you find our little corner of the World useful and informative.

New Jersey

New Jersey Support Group

An open transgender support organization

Mission Statement
New Jersey Support Group provides a cultural medium for all identifying as transgender, transsexual, or crossdresser in New Jersey and East Pennsylvania through which we can give and receive support by sharing our diverse life experiences as gifted individuals. To help our brothers and sisters to recognize and derive strength from the common bond that we share and to further the ongoing success of the transgender community in achieving a greater level of acceptance from main stream society as a whole.


Tri-Ess is an educational, social, and support group for the heterosexual crossdresser, their partner, the spouse of the married crossdresser, and their families. We support the crossdresser and their spouse. We believe that we are blessed with an additional facet to our personalities. If we accept our transgender side, and explore it, we will find a broadening of the entire personality, which can be very fulfilling.

The crossdresser, who encompasses the majority of males of transgender experience, is most often strongly heterosexual, enjoys the many aspects of their male life, and has no desire to pursue any transitional path. For the crossdresser, the ability to periodically express the feminine side of their personality is sufficient. Tri-Ess New Jersey understands the needs of the heterosexual crossdresser, and the concerns of the female partner, or the spouse of the married crossdresser. Our support group provides a safe social and support environment for the crossdresser, their partner, the spouse of the married crossdresser, and their families living in the New Jeresy and Eastern Pennsylvania areas.

Tri-Ess New Jersey fully supports open transgender organizations and the broader transgender community. In fact, some of our members belong to other transgender organizations and frequent open transgender support groups. Different individuals and their partners need different levels of support. Tri-Ess New Jersey understands this, and therefore operates as a focused support group for the heterosexual crossdresser, their partner, the spouse of the married crossdresser, and their families.

Important Announcement from the Belles

We would like everyone to know we are still alive and are still holding our meetings at the regular time and location, and will continue to do so. Please contact Tina for more information.

We are a social and support group for crossdressers, transvestites, transsexuals, intersexuals and other transgendered individuals.

We’re proud to be an open group, welcoming all those who are transgendered; MtoF or FtoM, straight, gay, or bi; single or married.
There are 3 goals that guide us as a group:
One – To be an information resource for transgendered people in Buffalo & Western New York.
Two – To provide support and advice to all who are transgendered, as well as family & friends.
Three – To be a social group – we never forget that everyone needs to have friends and fun.

The main goals of CDM are 1) to provide a safe, friendly and understanding haven for male heterosexual crossdressers and their spouses/significant others, 2) to help each other explore who and what we are, and 3) provide a nurturing supportive structure in which we can fine-tune the “better half” of our gender gifted selves.
 

CROSSDRESSERS INTERNATIONAL (CDI)
an affiliate of the Greater New York Gender Alliance, Inc.

 

Crossdressers International (CDI) is a non-profit, non-sexual group based in New York City. We were founded in 1990 by S. Kristine James, a prominent transgender activist on the national scene, and her good friend Karen Cioe.

We focus primarily on closeted male-to-female crossdressers, offering a safe, informative, and welcoming means for CDs to overcome their fears of being discovered and to happily and constructively express their transgender selves. Our experience suggests that a CD's female side is born inside each individual, and therefore cannot be denied. Those who learn to express their femme sides are some of the happiest people we've ever met!

For those who want to escape the closet, we can help. But no one is ever pressured to do so. For those who are happy as they are, CDI is a nice, safe place to be themselves.

Located in the city of Rochester, NY between Buffalo and Syracuse, NY.
We are a non-sexual social support group for cross dressers, 
transgendered and transsexuals and their significant others.
The Rochester CD Network was established in 1985. Our goals are
 to help people come to terms with their crossdressing and let them
 know that there are other people who feel as they do, with the same drives
 and feeling. They will learn they are not ALONE. The club tries to help all
 crossdressers build and maintain a positive self-image of their whole being.
 The RCD Network is NOT a dating service, a marketplace for sexual liasions,
 or a therapy group. It is a group of friends who want to express and
 develop their "other self".
