Who it’s for
You don’t have to pick a word
Crossdressers, trans women, gender fluid and non-binary people come to us, and people who just want to see it once. Whichever word you use, we use it too.
Who comes to us
People of every age, size, skin colour and background. Someone who has practised at home for years, and someone who has never told a soul. Someone just starting their transition, and someone long past it. Someone who wants to see it once. You don’t have to explain it to us.
Crossdresser
A crossdresser sometimes or often wears clothes and make-up associated with another gender. That says nothing about who you are or who you love. Transvestite is the older word: some people call themselves that, many find it outdated or hurtful, so we only use it if you do.
Transgender
Transgender people have a gender other than the one registered at their birth. A trans woman is a woman. That’s different from crossdressing, which is about clothes and appearance, though some people only find out later which of the two fits them.
Non-binary and gender fluid
Non-binary people are not, or not only, a man or a woman. Many use they/them. For gender fluid people, gender changes over time.
Drag
Drag is a form of performance, for a stage and an audience. We don’t do that, but we do EXTRA.
From age 16
Our sessions are for people aged 16 and over. If you’re younger, email us first: with written consent from your parent or guardian, we’ll see together what’s possible. A boudoir set is always 18 and over.
Everyone says it a little differently
These words change, and everyone uses them in their own way. This is how we understand them. If you call it something else, so do we. Why the same word can feel so different is under About words.
About words: Why the same word makes one person happy and hurts another.
Questions
What’s the difference between a crossdresser and a transgender person?
Crossdressing is about clothes and appearance. Being transgender is about who you are. Some people recognise themselves in both, and you don’t need to know when you come to us.
What’s the difference between a crossdresser and a drag queen?
Drag is a performance for an audience. Crossdressing is something you do for yourself, at home or out and about.
I don’t know which word fits me. Can I still come?
Yes. You don’t have to work that out before you book, or after.
Is there a minimum age?
Yes, 16. If you’re younger, email us first: with written consent from your parent or guardian, we’ll see together what’s possible.
