If you tell your girlfriend/wife and she leaves you for it, then she meets another man who tells her he crossdresses, she will be more open to it, even if she wasn't in the first place. The more crossdressers they encounter, the more they'll accept them.
Ohh yeah... I'm going to trash my life and throw everything away... to make it better for some other crossdresser somewhere in the world.. Someday.. Maybe.. Now that would truley be noble... I guess I'm just selfish but I'll take care of my needs and my familys needs first and let all the others fend for themselves... End of rant...

yeah i gotta say I ahte illogic and being raised in a liberal family i always feel aghast when people tell me of who their spouse react witha anything other than neutral acceptance as if it was nothing or sexual interest.
I think its sexist to themselves that girls dress a certain way.
However i do think it rather arogant to tell someone to through everything away for a taste.
Some people value love more highly than anything else and feel it more strongly and out it on the greatest importance. They are willing to put their other needs in a back seat for the one they love. and sometimes will love and its the most illogical thing of all and we even love people its not logical not love and love causes one pain. But i agree with karren to through away your soul mate and the life and bonds and little adorable things you had together is horribly difficult.
(hey romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves over nothing-although thats a bad example as tehy knew each other for about a day which is alittle imature) but you don't stay with soemone for years and years and years and marry them and sleep with them everynight and see them everyday and have it mean so little. was taht a rant quite possibly *shrug*

Exactly DanteCarrie.... Love is not a disposable thing... Though with the high divorce rates you might wonder.. It's different if your honest up front and they decide to not get involved... 34 years ago when we said "I do" being TG was akin to being a fellon... If not worse... Times have changed but for those of us in relationships rooted in the past... Its a different ball game.. Hopefully everyone going forward from today will be totally honest before.. I would have.. I think... Definately maybe.. Lol.

Hi Girls:

I try never to presume what someone else will do or say. Like snowflakes, each person has an opinion that will vary if only slightly from another, none the less, there is that difference that we call individuality.

My spouse’s response took close to 10 years to happen. Not everyone speaks immediately about what they are thinking. It takes them time to digest the information and then, they may think that they are trapped in the marriage and cannot do anything about it as my spouse did. Along comes her sister, married and divorced 5 times and my spouse combining this with her aunt that was married and divorced 7 times and she decides that she too can take action as such. To what real benefit remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, until something is said, no one can say for certain what the result will be. What is accepted today, can change tomorrow. What is rejected today, can be accepted tomorrow. I am not sure what our role is in all of this. We all live in the now and perhaps, future generations will be positively affected on the TG subject, regardless of one’s take on their position in the community.

Recent developments including a more positive view of us in the movies cannot hurt. The better educated young people today are currently less likely to be involved in hate crimes and abuse of our community. Note, I said the “better educated.” Of course, there are those lesser educated that resort to harm and violence in it’s many forms. There will always be a percentage of the population incarcerated for one reason or another. Alcohol most often plays a significant role in such human abuse cases.

So, while we like to think that we have control of our environment, the reality is, we all go forth at risk. That is life. Risk is a common part of it and needs to be their to teach us what being secure is and what it is not.


Hugs
