Cross Dressers Wives Newsletter March 20

Topic for the month: Questionnaire #3 In-Depth

Greetings to all! We are currently in process of creating a new, more in depth, Questionnaire III for Cross Dressers Wives, which requires a research team of some volunteers.
We want CDW to provide us with their priceless input to construct this new Questionnaire. What do YOU want to know about cross-dressing? What questions do you feel we should be asking other CDW?
If we ask the question, Has your husbands cross dressing impacted the intimacy in your relationship, and we want the opportunity to ask follow up questions-like- How important is intimacy to you? -Is there a way to restore the intimacy in your marriage? How do you think we can best go about this? We believe if we had a research team of some CDW Forum wives we could find a safe way to accomplish our goals and keep CDW identities anonymous when we are seeking follow up questions.
The challenge we currently are facing is how do we create a way to reconnect with CDW to ask the follow up questions? Your suggestions, advice, wisdom is very important to us. Please contact me @ cdwives@gmail.com or you can post your suggestions on the Forum. Anyone willing to be a part of this exciting, trailblazing research team- (or has any suggestions) please let us know.

UPDATE
Please know that our survey II is almost complete. My brilliant cohort has done a phenomenal job and all of you made it possible to gather hard core trailblazing data about cross dressers wives! Thank you!
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.
We have been contacted again by another TV show!!! Anyone interested in telling their story anonymously or openly-please contact me atcdwives@gmail.com!
