Thanks,
If there's no CURE for Cross-Dressing What am I going to do when I retire?

Some pretty dated material. Is Tri-Ess still around? I am curious whether there are articles that wives or significant others have found helpful (too late for me. My wife refuses to discuss or read about it.) Nancy

I found it to be well written and true. I am never married, 65, have not met one woman who wants to marry a CD. It is a lonesome road yet, for many of us who struggle with it, or accept we are this way, but still have to keep the secret. I wish i had not been born with this strong proclivity. My life has been traumatic enough even without it.

Yes, they are still around. I am still a member (associate) of the Tau Chi chapter, here in Houston. The organization is a shadow of it's former self, which is both sad and cause for celebration. Sad because, while there is still need in some places for the kind of support it can give to those who need it. Cause for celebration because that need has largely disappeared. Cross-dressing is no longer a crime, as it was when Tri-Ess was founded. Young people generally have no use for such an organization.

My question is it still worth joining your local Tri-ess chapter? I have requested information from them. Membership is not free and what can they provide?

Become a nudist. No crossdressing necessary.

Become a nudist. No crossdressing necessary.

But are you presenting as a male nudist, or a female nudist??:doh:

That's a call only you can make and that would depend on the local chapter in question.
From what I understand, Tau Chi is one of the more active surviving chapters. There less than a dozen regularly active members, and 4 or 5 spouses. I don't remain for what I get out of it. I'm there for the occasional opportunity to give back, for the occasional new member who is looking for support, reassurance and maybe assistance.
Hope that's at least minimally helpful for you.

Good for you, Aunt Kelly. In almost all of my threads, I try (such as this one) to offer something that some sisters may find useful or of significant interest.
