Georgeann and Raven's
Home Page
Welcome to our web page! Let me take a few moments to introduce this loving couple. I am Georgeann, I am a heterosexual crossdresser, who is married to the most wonderful, understanding woman ever to come upon this earth. Her name is Raven.
Raven and I have started to understand what has been going on with me and why I crossdress. After reading, researching, and "Surfing the Web" we have broadened our knowledge of this desire. We are not experts, nor ever intend to be, but we want to work this through. Our relationship has become stronger, and our vision of ourselves has become clearer.
Welcome to SFWaSOCDs (Support for wives/SO's of CrossDressers) formed August 22nd 2001. This group is intended as a safe haven for the support of wives and SO's of heterosexual crossdressers. There are many great groups already on the web you can join already. Some however restrict what can be discussed. My attempt with this group is to form a happy medium in the support area... Any discussion is allowed unless it flames either the CD or the SO/wife and as for Religion all levels of acceptance are allowed here as long as the flame rule is followed. IE: An un-accepting wife may present her dislike of the lifestyle but in a manner that does not put down her husband. Amendment to this rule because it is a touchy area.... The actions of the husband are allowed to be flamed as long as they are presented in a way that is appropriate for them. aka: hubby doing something really stupid and possibly dangerous.... by all means vent it here. Then feel free to share the reactions of the rest of us with him.
We encourage all to share posts with their CD's as they see fit, however, CD's themselves will not be permitted on nor allowed to post to the list.
It is recognized that CD's themselves can have wonderful words of support and insight for us. At the approval of the board the wife/SO of the CD in question can post his words for the rest of us to view should we deem them useful.
S.P.I.C.E. - Spouses and Partners International Conference for Education is essentially a workshop that stresses communication. It provides everyone, both crossdressers and their significant others with the opportunity to learn to communicate effectively with each other. There are professionals who give talks, conduct workshops and are there to listen. It is a place where love and caring abound. In addition to professionals, experienced volunteers, as well as other participants are willing to listen and help us to begin to understand ourselves.
Marsha and I highly recommend this program for the wives of cross-dressers.
Spouses & Partners - Rachel Miller - Helping couples deal with cross-dressing issuesDealing with a cross-dressing spouse is a challenging, never-ending journey. It is wise to take many small, reversible steps. It is necessary to communicate, communicate and communicate. This series of 8 articles provides helpful ideas and approaches for couples to deal with cross-dressing issues. If your spouse or loved one is a cross-dresser, you should read this material and use it to engage in dialog with the cross-dresser. It describes how my wife and I learned how to deal effectively with these issues and how we were able to integrate cross-dressing into our lives rather than keeping it separate.
