Julie - We have a very safe location. My property is set in the country and its in 4 acres of grounds. My restaurant seats up to 24 and on certain nights during the month I plan to open it just the girls who cross-dress. I've been involved with the girls for years now and I've just opened a hairdressers, and the restaurant plus accommodation so it's the full package. I have many genetic female friends who help so it's nice and all non genetic females are made so welcome and are treated just like a genetic female. The wigs I offer are lace wigs and from real hair. They are made to measure and the buyer gets to pick the colour and length and then they're professionally made. They fit like a glove and are totally undetectable. My girl staying at the minute has one and with the correct glue it was glued to her head around the edges and she was able to have the full hair salon experience of wash, cut and blow dry.

Trans In The Twenty First Century 
(concerning gender diversity)

Edited by Alice Purnell & Jed Bland

In the thirty or more years that the Beaumont Trust has been listening to and helping transgender people, it has seen many changes. Not only has the distinction between male and female become blurred, but so as has that between the cross dresser and the transsexual.

In this book we are reviewing the situation of trans in all aspects, how the situation has changed in the last 50 years and what may still need to be done.

Published by the Beaumont Trust: write to Beaumont Trust, BM Charity, London, WC1N3XX.

Transvestism and Cross Dressing.
Towards an Understanding

Edited by Jed Bland

"Why do I like dressing in women's clothes?" "Why does my husband want to dress in my clothes, use my jewellery - my make-up?" These and a host of other questions are asked by transvestites themselves and by their loved ones. Public perceptions are formed by a generally unhelpful portrayal by the media, while textbooks inevitably approach the subject from a pathologising viewpoint.

This book is a collection of articles by professional writers and by participants in this much misunderstood activity. It aims to answer some of the questions in a more detailed manner than is possible on the helpline, while being non-directive and non-judgmental - and without being an apologia.

Chapters include:

Something to Confess by Karen Adler - My story, 'Something to Confess', is written from my perspective as a woman whose husband finally told her the truth about his cross-dressing preferences after 10 years of marriage. It is an honest and heartfelt account of my journey from the moment he told me to final acceptance and enjoyment of the transvestite lifestyle. The link to the book is as follows: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008BI8GQS
"Something to Confess," by Karen Adler, is a short, well-written, quick read (105 pages) available in Kindle (e-book) format only on Amazon. It is the autobiographical account of a 40ish-year-old English married couple and how the husband's out-of-the-blue confession to his wife that he is a cross-dresser impacts their relationship. It is told by the wife, based on a journal she kept as she worked through the early days of coming to terms with this revelation. It is intelligent, insightful, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heartwarming, and sometimes funny (darkly, ironically, or straightforwardly, depending on the episode); also brave and honest.
It also rings very true; while I'm not married and never had to confront any of these issues, I am also a lifelong TG with 20 years' involvement in this community, and have heard similar stories told and concerns expressed many times over. The outcomes vary wildly because couples are all made up of unique individuals with their own personalities, tastes, values, turn-ons and turn-offs, and also because some partners (both male and female) handle the situation more tactfully and sensitively than others.
For the Adlers, things went well because Karen found ways to not only adjust to her husband's "Annie" side, but to embrace, enjoy, and celebrate it...all within certain bounds and constraints while husband Mark learned not to push too hard, too fast, and paid attention to his wife's responses both positive and negative. This is a "best case" outcome that turned out that way because both partners worked hard to show mutual respect and support, neither focusing solely on their own wants and needs.
The author works hard to be completely honest, neither overly critical of herself or her husband nor completely uncritical of either, she concludes with a somewhat mixed verdict that, like the rest of the book, rings true. She has found that this new dimension of their marriage provides opportunities for growth, exploration, sharing at newer and deeper levels than before, more fun, and in some important ways a fuller, richer, relationship. But at the same time, part of her wishes it had never happened and just wasn't there, because of the high cost of learning to cope with all the pressures, confusion, roller-coaster emotions, and plain hard work that it took her to get to that place.
I would heartily recommend it for any cross-dressing husband or spouse/partner of such. It may or may not provide any concrete answers to specific dilemmas faced by similar couples, but it could stimulate a helpful discussion between them, if such a thing is possible. – Tilda Ampersand, River City Gem Group
