CROSS DRESSERS WIVES JULY NEWSLETTER 2012


TOPIC FOR THE MONTH: OUR SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONNAIRE

If you are the wife, the former wife, or full-time partner of a cross dresser, you are invited to respond to this questionnaire. 
Our goal is to gather information never before acquired from the wives and partners of cross dressers. Therefore, this is somewhat longer than many surveys, but we believe it will be worth your extra effort and time. It will take about 15 minutes. In addition to reporting the results on the Wives web site, we will submit a summary article to a scientific journal. We believe such an article can provide information about cross dressing from the wives' point of view that has never before been available.
Although some questions are quite personal, please try to respond to all questions. If you can't respond, just leave the question blank. If you wish, you can add comments at the end.
In all, there are 64 questions.
YOUR RESPONSES WILL BE ENTIRELY ANONYMOUS. YOUR SCREEN NAME WILL NOT BE RETAINED. YOU WILL NEVER BE IDENTIFIED IN ANY WAY.
Show your responses by clicking on one of the "buttons." 
On some questions you are invited to click on several buttons.
Upon completion of each page, click on NEXT to proceed.
Click on the PREVIOUS button to return to a previous page.
Upon completion of the survey, click on DONE to send it to us.
TO MAKE CORRECTIONS: 
1. For most questions, return to the question and click on the response you prefer. 
2. For questions that invite you to click on "any that apply," return to the button you want to omit, and click on it a second time.


PLEASE FILL OUT OUR QUESTIONAIRRE. GO TO THE SING IN PAGE FOR THE FORUM. THERE IS A LINK FOR THE QUESTIONARE. 

Thank you very much for your cooperation. Dee Levy, Director.

UPDATES
The Founder has been a guest speaker at a few college classes, as well as salons. We are trying each day to get the word out about CDW and the types of challenges they are dealing with-but first we need to educate people about CD-and bust the myths about CD being gay! Then why are CD overwhelmingly married and many have children? Well, we know but the rest of the world is still in the closet, and clearly in the dark. Let us continue to shed some light on this thorny, murky taboo sub culture.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE:

"I  began to understand that self esteem isn't everything; it's just that there's nothing without it."
One of my favorite women...Gloria Steinem.
From the book, Yes You Can! Complied by Marc Anello.

 I have had the delightful pleasure of meeting Gloria Steinem on several occasions. I even had a chance to speak with her one on one for quite a while, at one of my women studies professor's home. She was focused on my studies...she was by far so gracious, easy going and lovely. Her sweet energy surrounds this iconic feminist and humanist!
