Everyday, thousands upon thousands of anonymous CDWs post, read, and/or participate on our worldwide Forum. This international gathering of women represents a diverse collage of cultures and personalities, ages and stages, socioeconomic and religious differences, intentions and expectations. Our safe haven is a sacred place to talk, listen, share, and support one another. (Let the rest of the world beat the cr*p out of us!) I’m not saying bursts of anger shouldn’t be vented on the Forum. We don’t need to agree. A healthy conversation is an exchange of varying ideas, facts, and emotions. Perhaps any rushes to judgment towards other CDWs might be slowed down, especially when dealing with CDWs or SO’s who just found out. Our situations remain unique, yet in spite of our differences, we have much more in common. We are all exquisitely sensitive to one key issue: cross dressing.
Over the last few weeks, the Forum has been quite active. Disagreements between CDWs (in different stages of their journey) have flared up and gratefully but not unexpectedly resolved themselves. CDWs rushed to the aid of a stranger, providing their personal contact information to an ailing CDW who just found out. The hotline was busier than usual. After receiving approvals from all sides, I put several CDWs in touch who intend to reach out to one another on a more personal level. I will always do what I can to foster and enhance healthy relationships between CDWs. Meetings are being planned, friends and new relationships are being formed. Actions determine our further state and this Forum is of our creation. Pat yourselves on the back for having the courage to post and to look for and offer help. Thank you to all of you who continue to support and maintain our safe haven.
Stay tuned for more website updates, further announcements about our book’s publication this summer, and yes, Live Chats! I apologize that they have been delayed. Having never gone through the Herculean process of publishing a book before, I had no idea how much was involved. The Cross Dresser’s Wives ~ Our Secret Lives has been a tremendous responsibility and my most cherished challenge yet.
Happy summer!
With Untold Blessings & Gratitude,
The Founder

Please visit our links to purchase our book, make a financial contribution, or volunteer your services to help us assist women in dire need of support, education, acceptance, understanding, compassion, and guidance.

There are millions of us in the United States and throughout the world whose unique needs must be met. All contributions are greatly appreciated.
Although presently swamped with the publication and launch of our first best-selling book, The Cross Dresser’s Wives ~ Our Secret Lives, we are hoping to expand international Hotline services, produce ongoing Live Chats, process and assess the results of the thousands of Cross Dressers Wives Questionnaires we have received over the years, & publish our next best-selling book exposing the secret lives of the cross dresser’s wives!
