Best of luck with the dating sites, you’ll have to keep me updated on how things are going. I am disappointed with the lack of dating sites catering to transgendered people who want a real relationship. Every time I see crossdressing being mentioned on dating sites, I am appalled by some of the comments I read.

Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate them. Wow, sounds like you and your wife have such a great time together, I can’t tell you enough how great that is to read.

Of course, most women, when being 100% honest, will say that while they enjoy the feminine side they would prefer it wasn’t so strong.

An interesting read and nice to have the input also from Rebecca. I guess the first decision is whether to tell/ when to tell, but that is only the start and as you indicate it is oh so complex, especially as the tgirl herself rarely knows exactly whats she wants/ how far to go, especially in the period shortly after telling that first person.

That was certainly my position. I told my wife 7 years ago and never told anyone else (my wife did tell one friend) and what we both can accept and want to get out of it is constantly evolving.

I do agree with you though, that there are lots of advantages in having a cd’ing partner. Aside from the ones you have mentioned…….

We have made lots of new friends, we go away more often, dance/visit clubs years after we had given them up, have an extra Xmas, swopping pressies very late on Xmas eve. My wife gets twice as many presents (and has to give twice as many) for birthdays/ other anniversaries and they are generally much more likely to be something she likes. She also gets (more) help around the house and especially gets clothes put away etc etc

Yes, she does say she would rather I wasn’t a tranny (uk), but does accept that it has put a spark (back) into our life.

ps I think Rebecca’s stats are definitely understated!!

This is the type of article I wish existed back in 2000 when I was trying to explain crossdressing to my girlfriend at the time. I scoured the internet but was only able to find articles talking about what crossdressing was but nothing about helping a girlfriend and giving good advice.

I hope that this article will be able to help those looking for a little guidance .

The balance for your article is well written and does put the issues and dilemmas into words very well. It is too bad I cannot use them with my wife to help stem her fears…. we have been dealing with it for 30 years.

Oh well. Maybe I can be a little more supportive for her shopping if I don’t go broke in the process.

Sure, everyone’s tastes are different, but a CD partner will think twice when picking you a birthday present… especially something like jewellry, clothes, make-up or luxury bathing.
