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

Cross Dressers Wives April Newsletter 2011 Topic For The Month – WE’RE EXPECTING!!!
No April Foolin’!
I want to take this moment and thank every single cross dresser’s wife who has ever taken the time to post on our worldwide Forum. Your voices have been heard. You are no longer alone. Together, we all have built a safe haven for cross dressers’ wives around the world to anonymously gain and give support, learn the scientific research, and work through our deepest darkest pain without fear of judgment.
On Labor Day 2009, an idea sprouted organically from the Forum. On that day, our voices conceived a baby, an idea about sharing our stories. The gestation period has been prolonged, endured its share of obstacles and challenges, yet today, I am thrilled to announce
THE CROSS DRESSER’S WIFE – OUR SECRET LIVES
is in our third trimester! The baby has dropped and is in birthing position. With the recent submission of our manuscript to the publishers, the countdown has begun!
Never before has the subculture of cross dressing and the secret lives of their struggling wives/partners been so exposed! While Cross Dressers Wives remains respectful and supports the rights of cross dressers, transgenders, gays and lesbians, and all subjugated people everywhere, it is time we step out of our closets. Our issues remain largely unknown. Most of society does not even know that we exist because, most often, the cross dresser’s wife doesn’t tell. Until now.
Authors from our Forum who stepped forward to write their dramatic, shocking, and emotional stories should be congratulated. Though looking back and reliving the pain was not easy, it was a cathartic journey overall. Now, for the first time, it is our pleasure to announce the five Authors who contributed their stories to the upcoming bestseller The Cross Dresser’s Wife – Our Secret Lives:
1. The Queen Of Denial
by
Queen Of Denial
2. The Golden Nugget
by
Saddened
3. Gaslighting
by
Shelly
4. His Favorite Woman
by
Natalie
5. Mr. Wonderful
by
The Founder
Initial editorial feedback from professional authors, doctors, publicists, and editors familiar with the publishing world has been almost 100% through-the-roof positive. In fact, response has been so strong that we are already in the process of constructing Volume 2. PLEASE NOTE, we want to know about your journey. Any cross dresser’s wife interested in sharing her story, whether in the United States or abroad, should please contact the Founder @ cdwives@gmail.com. If possible, please denote ‘Book Volume 2’ in your subject line. Once accepted, you will be financially compensated for your story.
By busting the myths, dispelling the taboo, and telling the truth about how many relationships don’t work if a closeted cross dresser misrepresents himself and marries, I am expecting our book to be a golden force for positive change the world over!
Blessings and Untold Gratitude,
The Founder

Cross Dresser’s Wives March Newsletter 2011
Topic For The Month – Conquering Depression
We must learn to process trauma. No one can do that but you. If you don't, it WILL come back to bite you in the *ss. Find a way, whether through therapy, counseling, a psychic, prayer, meditation, exercise, journaling, asking yourself questions no one else will ask, but never stop working on yourself. Don't just say 'I'm going to let it go,' really process and work through your pain; call it emotional follow-through. Find the faith, encourage peace and order within yourself; we must know our true emotions. Clean out your emotional closets, take back your power!
So many posts of late mention the distress, depression, and darkness that confront the cross dresser's wife. Everyone is different, but our quandary is uniquely labyrinthine. Find support, be gentle and love yourself, and know that the journey can strengthen and empower you in ways you might never imagine.
May the angels be with us all.
With love, respect, gratitude and blessings,
The Founder

Cross Dressers Wives February 2011 Newsletter
Topic For The Month: To Tell Or Not to Tell?
There has been so much activity on our worldwide forum lately about whether or not to tell someone that your husband or partner is a cross dresser. Some of the forum posts purport that they do not tell because their cross dressing husbands told them not to and how can they go against his wishes or demands?
We are forced to ask… What wife would want to risk any potential professional, political, or social ramifications due to exposing her husband’s kinky dark secret?
I am forced to ask… Was your cross dressing husband honest about his cross dressing before he married you? In many sad cases, the answer is NO. Yet, you are expected to share in the responsibility of hiding his secret, which has become your secret too, and abstain from getting any of the support you may so desperately need? You need all of the positive resources available to you. If you keep silent, most likely it will cause you more pain.
This is why our worldwide forum is so important. Sharing and caring for one another, guiding ourselves through the queer turmoil nighttime can bring, many of us are in desperate need of someone who can simply listen and hear us. When most cd wives unburden their secret, it is to their best friend, a religious or spiritual leader, close family member, or a therapist. This is not to imply that the listener will be able to advise you accordingly, but the result will most likely be one of RELIEF.
With love, respect, gratitude & blessings,
The Founder

Cross Dresser’s Wives January Newsletter 2011
Topic For The Month – Eudaimonia (yu-day-moan-ee-ya)
Strolling through my favorite bookstore, I chanced upon a surprisingly inspirational and thought provoking book by Ethel Diamond: Aristotle Would Have Liked Oprah - Lessons For The Living And Other Philosophical Musings. I opened up a page from the middle of the book and, as synchronicity would have it, I was on the first page of the chapter specifically about Oprah.
According to Diamond, the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) held that “...the good life and happiness were inextricably bound together.” Yes, I could easily hear Oprah agreeing with those wise words. Aristotle, like Oprah, shared the ethos that happiness and the good life come from living a successful life. “It is a total experience that involves conducting your activities and your relationships in the best possible ways.” Oprah has done hundreds of shows based on this topic.
Aristotle, a teacher ofAlexander the Great and student of Plato, the founder of the first institution of higher learning in the Western world, acknowledges that there are many challenges to obtaining happiness, success, and the good life. He maintains that the most difficult challenges come not from our enemies but “…the hardest victory is the victory over self.” Once this is achieved, a wonderful feeling of bliss will arise. Aristotle had a name for this state of bliss: eudaimonia. Oprah buttresses that belief system and so should we.
The only power we do have is over ourselves. Change is needed in most of our lives. It has to come from us. The victory will be blissful…let us all reach the level of Eudaimonia in 2011!!!
Have a happy, healthy, eudaimonic New Year!!!
With love, respect, gratitude and blessings,
The Founder

Cross Dresser’s Wives December’s Newsletter 2010 Topic For The Month - Dressing While Stressing
During the flurry of the holiday season, everything escalates. While dealing with company, travel, religious activities, shopping, cooking, wrapping gifts, and keeping the kids busy while out of school, the cross dresser's wife will most likely carry even more stress than the average wife and mother. She might be forced to ask herself...
How will my cross dressing husband handle his additional holiday stress? According to statistics, studies, questionnaires and posts from our worldwide forum, a cross dresser is much more likely to find relief through cross dressing when he is stressed.
Hustle and bustle can mean more stress with less opportunity to relieve it.
Be prepared, have your eyes wide open, and recognize where your husband's additional holiday stress may truly be stemming from. Also, if your husband is walking around relieved today after being stressed out yesterday, he may have found time to do more than simply hang out beneath the mistletoe.
Knowledge will empower your actions which can change your life for the better. 2011 and beyond!
Happiest of Holidays & Best Wishes To All,
The Founder

Cross Dresser’s Wives November’s Newsletter 2010 Topic For The Month – Revenge? Think twice…
Over the years, there have been forum posts about getting revenge on someone’s cross dressing husband or ex-husband. “Sweet is revenge,” said the infamous Lord Byron, author of Don Juan.
According to many social researchers, most people’s fantasies involving revenge towards someone who has betrayed them results in a satisfied emotional state. However, the results of many tests indicate that if one chooses to act on vengeful thoughts, it is not gratifying. Instead, revenge can and often does make people feel worse. Many believe forgiveness is divine…
If a cross dresser’s wife is seeking revenge, living well is the best form! So, live well ladies!
Blessings,
The Founder

BOOK UPDATE
Dear Authors,
Again, many thanks to you, our contributing authors, for sharing your brave stories. Guess what? We just received a commitment for an additional story! In addition, queries have been sent regarding someone inspirational to write our Forward. We are still open to suggestions. All in all, we are more convinced than ever that our end result will be a powerful and enlightening tome. We are steadily getting closer to publication!
In addition, we would like to reiterate that every means possible is being taken to ensure anonymity; all identities of those involved are indeed well camouflaged. To repeat, it is not the intention of the upcoming book(s) to disparage, reveal, or “out” anyone, only to share the emotional tunnels dug in order for these wives to survive. By sharing with others like us and not like us, it is our hope to cast more understanding on this issue. Truly horrifying twists and turns can await the unwitting cross dresser’s wife if the secret is buried too deep. It should not have to be this way.
Stay tuned for updates on our sure to be best-selling book about our secret lives as cross dressers wives!
With blessings and gratitude,
The Founder
