CROSS DRESSERS WIVES FEBRUARY 2012 NEWSLETTER TOPIC FOR THE MONTH

New CDW Questionnaire

Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Remember to love yourself. Self-care is required for living your best, most authentic life.

Our website www.crossdresserswives.com and The Forum are growing exponentially, with new wives from all over the globe discovering our safe haven every day. We are expanding and breaking fresh ground. Since the inception of Cross Dressers Wives, thousands of questionnaires have been collected and examined. (There is a link on the Home Page for the Questionnaire.) Many of you have already taken the time to fill one out, providing CDW an opportunity to utilize your input. Thank you!

Currently, CDW is collaborating with a brilliant clinical psychologist who is also a retired professor. Together, we are in the process of constructing a new, more informative questionnaire. However, we cannot accomplish this significant project without some invaluable information from the silent experts on cross dressers’ wives: YOU! Please review our current Questionnaire while asking yourselves…

What questions or concerns do I have that are not addressed?
Hearing the stories of other cross dressers’ wives, what would I like to learn more about?
What if anything should be deleted from the questionnaire?

There is so little research on cross dressers’ wives. As a group, we can contribute significant information that will help lessen the impact this taboo issue can exert on this experiment that we call our lives. Cross Dressers Wives believes that your much needed cooperation and willingness to create a new improved questionnaire will ultimately help other cross dressers’ wives worldwide. There can be many benefits and responsibilities resulting from a website that receives 2 ½ million hits a year.

Our new book, The Cross Dresser’s Wife * Our Secret Lives, is already beginning to enlighten others both within our secretive world and beyond its immediate reach. Our additional research - funded by your generous donations and the book’s sales - will provide essential, singular information that scientists have yet to observe because the cross dresser’s wife usually doesn’t tell. When honesty, respect, and enlightenment grow, things change for the better. Each one of us has the power to make a difference.

We look forward to hearing from you. Your voices will be heard!!!

Blessings & Gratitude,
Dee (AKA The Founder)

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

“There is a part of me that I didn’t even know I had until recently - instinct, intuition, whatever. It helps me and protects me. Its perception is astute. I listen to the inside of me and I know what to do.”

Women’s Ways of Knowing: The Development of Self, Voice, and Mind (1986)
