Cross Dressers Wives May Newsletter 2011

Topic For The Month – Our Bill Of Rights

When first building this website, I had to think carefully about what it was I hoped to attain. I couldn’t go back and alter my own past but I could alter my journey, my path, and those of others like me. Denial. Sex. Manipulation. Is he gay? Does he want to be a woman? Romantic betrayal. Staying until our nests are empty. Dealing with these and other monumental issues alone can prove daunting, so how do we conquer and take control of this situation that many of us married into?

Once www.crosssdresserswives.com was established and women starting posting onto the Forum, many questioned the whereabouts of our rights (to know before marriage, etc.) While researching a pro-cross dressing website, I discovered a bill of rights and immediately knew the time had come for OUR OWN BILL OF RIGHTS!

If you have not already done so, please visit our website’s Bill Of Rights link. Many have commented how the Cross Dressers Wives Bill Of Rights has helped them. Some have even printed it and read it everyday to help remind themselves of the basic rights every cross dresser’s wife is entitled to…

BILL OF RIGHTS

1. I have the right to know PRIOR to marriage/ cohabitation -
not to be lied to at the altar.

2. I have the right to be open and honest with any one I choose.

3. I have the right to feel a range of all emotions without compromise.

4. I have the right to accept or reject the practice of cross dressing - including sexual acts.

5. I have the right to refuse to participate or be exposed to the practice of cross dressing.

6. I have the right to choose whether or not to stay in the relationship.

7. I have the right to insist on therapy if choosing to stay in the relationship.

8. I have the right to have open communication about cross dressing -
no elephants in the room.

9. I have the right to protect our children and set age-appropriate boundaries
from possible psychological trauma.

10. I have the right to have my choices respected.

Blessings & Gratitude,
The Founder
