Since 1993, we’ve been a home for crossdressers, transfeminine, and gender-fluid folks to express themselves freely, explore their identities, and simply exist without apology. This space was built for affirmation — not approval. Every story shared here weaves into a larger tapestry of visibility and strength, reminding you that you are seen, you are valued, and you belong.
Meet Melissa Penning
What’s your name? What are your pronouns?
Melissa Penning (she, her)
Where are you located?
Kansas
What’s your favorite thing about expressing your feminine side?
I love to be seen and known as a woman. I love engaging the world as a woman. I want to be loving and caring to those I meet and know. It gives me joy.
How would you describe your style?
My style in clothing is classic and fitted to show my curves. I like a hint of retro, especially in lingerie. I love to look sexy and as pretty as I can make myself.
Where are your favorite places to shop?
Honestly, I do most of my shopping on Amazon. If I shopped in person it would be stores like Ann Taylor and Michael Kors
What piece of advice would you share to someone starting dressing?
In times like this it is important to be careful and to be safe. Do some research into places you plan on going to to make sure they are accepting. Be confident and smile.
