Jennifer, I have to strongly disagree with you!! You are a Genetic Male, but you are definitely NOT a Genetic Female!! You may dress and act like a female, but unless you have the surgery you are still a male underneath!!
The question that arises is how much do you really love your wife? You have been married for a long time and raised 2 wonderful children, but now you want her to bend to your way or live separately? Why did you wait so long to tell her you were a crossdresser? I may be totally wrong, but it appears to me that you are more in love with Jennifer (who is a figment of your imagination) than you are with your actual wife!! The 2 of you really need to sit down and have a very frank discussion about your activities!!
