I hope you told her regarding the dress, " Yes dear, you look fabulous in it." Sounds like you are keeping your head about all this. That's a good thing. You are right, the urge will return; the traumatic event killed the urge temporarily. As Reine suggests, offer her the opportunity to join but advise her to be cautious in searching the net for info, regarding how much crap is out there. Even here, there are many things that could send her running for the hills. The important thing for her is to be able to separate you and your gender self from everyone else and try to find that understanding about who you are specifically, not anyone else, because, we are all so different. There are many support groups out there as well but my s/o found most of the posters on those forums are gg's that simply cannot come to terms with the gender issues and for the most part do not want to, so they use the forums simply as a place to express their displeasure with it all rather than seek ways/info. on how to accept/understand it.
