The UK Online Safety Act is changing how websites like CCD are expected to operate.

Members who demonstrate honesty, respect, sincerity, and kindness towards others are generally welcomed within our community. However, if these values are not upheld, you risk being promptly removed from our platform, possibly permanently.

Our aim is to foster an environment where users can freely express themselves on profiles, blogs, and comments, as long as this expression does not cause harm, distress, or violate our community standards, including the ClubCrossDressing community and staff. We expect all individuals to adhere to the same set of standards on our site, both online and offline, and to act with consideration while following our community guidelines.

Please bear in mind that membership to our site and community is not a right but a privilege.

Listed below are our community policies. Violation of any of these policies may result in a ban. We strongly encourage you to report any behaviour that breaches our policies and familiarise yourself with our Safety Centre for further guidance.

All images and visual content must also comply with our Image Standards, which form part of these Content Standards.

Adult and sexually explicit content

Visible genitalia, pornographic material and explicit sexual imagery are strictly prohibited in all public areas of the Website, including profiles, galleries, groups, forums and classifieds.

Private messaging is intended for communication between consenting adult members. We do not encourage, promote or routinely monitor the exchange of sexually explicit material through private messages. Users are responsible for ensuring that their private communications and images are lawful, consensual and sent only to adult recipients who have agreed to receive them.

Unsolicited explicit images or sexual messages are prohibited. Content that is unlawful, non-consensual, exploitative or involves, depicts or appears to involve anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited.

Profiles, blogs, comments and other public content may contain adult, suggestive or non-graphic dating language, including references to identity, relationships, BDSM, kink or sexual preferences. Graphic descriptions of sexual acts, pornographic content, unlawful content, harassment, coercion or other content that breaches these standards are not permitted.

We may review private messages or attachments where they are reported to us, automatically flagged by our safety systems, or otherwise brought to our attention in connection with suspected spam, scams, abuse, exploitation, illegal content or other violations of our policies. Appropriate action may include content removal and account restriction, suspension or termination.

Your content must not contain:

  • Unsolicited sexual or graphic messages
  • Harassment or defamation
  • Blackmail
  • Violence, threats, or physical harm
  • Scare-mongering
  • Persistent disruptive or hostile behaviour
  • Hate speech or discriminatory content based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or belief, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or any other protected characteristic
  • The unsolicited, repetitive, bulk, or premature sharing of private or contact information, including email addresses, telephone numbers, social media accounts, messaging app details, websites, or other external contact details. Members may exchange contact details as part of a genuine and established interaction between consenting members. However, the platform must not be used primarily to distribute contact information or move communications off-site.
  • Spam or advertising
  • Flooding timelines
  • Promotion or solicitation
  • Prostitution or trafficking
  • Scams or fraudulent schemes
  • Impersonation or misrepresentation
  • Depictions or references to minors
  • Content or themes involving school uniforms, school settings, or youthful role-play are strictly prohibited. This includes any visual content, text, or references in profiles, images, or messages, regardless of the stated age of participants.
  • Copyright or trademark infringement
  • Illegal content or the condoning of illegal activities
  • False or misleading information about the site, community, or its members.
  • Matters that should be addressed to Customer Care. This is a private membership club, not a public forum, so free speech in the constitutional sense does not apply here. We welcome constructive feedback, but it must go through Customer Care — not public posts. We may remove false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims about the Website, its staff or its members where, in our reasonable opinion, they may cause harm, facilitate fraud or abuse, mislead members, or damage the safety or proper operation of the community.
  • Content that, in our reasonable opinion, may harm the reputation, safety, or quality of our site or community.
  • Attempts to share, disguise or encode external contact details (including email, phone numbers, messaging apps, websites or social media) in order to bypass our moderation, filtering or safety systems. This includes spacing, symbols, wording tricks or any method designed to evade detection.
  • Encouraging or requesting that members move communication off the platform (e.g. to email, messaging apps, or private payment methods), where this may increase the risk of fraud, exploitation, or harm.
  • Manipulative or coercive behaviour intended to exploit, pressure, deceive or financially harm other members, including romance scams or emotional manipulation.
  • Creating duplicate accounts, using alternative identities, or attempting to re-register after suspension or termination.
  • Profiles may not reference removed content or complain about moderation decisions.

Existing Content

These standards apply to all new and updated content. Due to the age and volume of existing material on the platform, older content may not fully reflect current standards. We will prioritise moderation of newly created/updated content and material that is reported or reviewed. Older content may remain visible unless reviewed, reported, updated or found to present a safety, legal or compliance concern. We reserve the right to remove or restrict older content where necessary.

Political Campaigning and Activism

We are a social community for crossdressers and gender-diverse individuals, not a platform for political campaigning or activism. Content whose primary purpose is to promote, campaign for, oppose, recruit for, fundraise for, organise, or debate political parties, political movements, elections, legislation, public policy, or political causes may be removed at our discretion.

Community, identity, awareness, support, and pride symbols relating to gender expression, LGBTQ+ identities, health awareness, disability awareness, national identity, or similar personal affiliations are generally permitted provided they are not used to harass, intimidate, discriminate against, or provoke conflict.

Content may be reviewed at any time, including after initial approval. We reserve the right to remove or restrict content where it is later found to breach our standards or may impact the safety, fairness, or quality of the community.

The “About Me” section is intended to describe you and help other members understand your personality, interests, and intentions. Profiles that mainly contain quotations, copied text, or material that does not relate to you may be declined or returned for editing.

What to do if you spot any violations

Should you come across any violations, please help us maintain our high standards by using the report link found next to the content in question and provide us with as much detail as possible.

Violations against Content Standards

We take violations against our content standards very seriously and reserve the right to terminate or suspend any account immediately and without warning or refund for any subscriptions.

We regularly review and improve our safety systems in response to emerging risks and regulatory guidance.
