Won't work, Busker. Log out of the forum, and then visit it to see what the public can access. Any wife can read the threads in the CD, Transmasculine, TS, & Upcoming Events sections without ever joining the site. And we keep these sections public as a service for CDers/TSs/Transmen who are not ready to join.
Edit - Everyone, believe me, new GGs are told when they join about the breadth of the gender spectrum here. We don't need an announcement, anyone just needs to look at all the forum sections on the Index page. And every time a new GG posts in Loved Ones, there are lots of CDers who remind her of the variety of members here too.
If GGs come here and are too put off to even join and ask questions, there isn't anything that anyone can do. Who knows, these GGs may not be willing to believe the CDers here or their wives who are happily married anyway.
Really, the only way to balance this forum for those of you who object to some of the threads, is to post in these threads and provide your own views!
And last thing ... we keep talking about the contentious threads. But there are also some mighty fine threads here that cannot be ignored. GGs see those too!
OK ... this is really the last thing: if a CDer wants his wife to join but is afraid of her reaction to some of the threads, really it's up to HIM to hold her hand before she joins, go through a lot of the threads, discuss what applies and what doesn't, in short, do his best to explain who he is in contrast to the very wide spectrum here.
