Testimonials of Joy from CD's, wives and children.

• Tri-Ess organization is my first real freedom I have had in 40 years of being a crossdresser. The closet is a very lonely place just the opposite of Tri-Ess. There are no friends in the closet just the opposite in Tri-Ess. The closet you have dreams and hopes at Tri-Ess they come true. The closet doesn't have a lot of space to walk and dance. Tri-Ess has big rooms and lots of open area to walk and dance and have fun. There may be makeup and mirrors in the closet but Tri-Ess has real ladies to help you and to be a friend. Tri-Ess gives you your freedom to come out of the closet and dress up and be all you can be with open area to walk, talk and to make friends and to really live the life you know as a crossdresser. Something you and I have always wanted or would like in this world. Tri-Ess helps us, and the people around us, to understand and teach them and us what crossdressing is about. This is the freedom that I have and live with, at Tri-Ess, Please come and join us and have your freedom.

• Tri-Ess was the best thing I could do to help me become more accepting of myself. Until I found this group, I thought I was the only one who crossdressed.
  

• As a wife of a crossdresser, I enjoy meeting with other wives and sharing our experiences and ways to educate ourselves so that we can strengthen our relationship and support our husband.

• Joining Tri-Ess gave me my life back.

• For me Tri-Ess is about friendship, support, and having the opportunity to give-back to the community through educational outreach on college campuses.

• Tri-Ess literally saved my life.

• I have seen my father dressed as a woman several times and I applaud him for being strong enough to show his femme side. He enjoys the monthly meetings and rarely misses them. I know I have to give up asking for the car on those nights.

Dress Code:

We uphold a high standard of dressing which is in respect for womanhood. We do our best to crossdress with dignity. Our dressing could be compared to what you see women dress like in everyday life. Outrageous, sexually suggestive or fetish outfits, bearded ladies and the like are not how we present ourselves. We strive to dress well with good fashion taste. Although everyone's taste is somewhat different, consider these guidelines:

• If you would not want to see your mother in the outfit you want to wear, don't wear it to our meetings or functions.
  
  
• If you would not want your mother to catch you wearing the outfit you want to wear, don't wear it to our meetings or functions.
