Lexi -- Sorry for your frustration. But I think it's better to have stories of women who accept us, of couples that survive, etc. because it provides role models. Maybe someone here will be so influenced by hearing that they can find an accepting mate that they'll go out and do that rather than settling for a life in the closet. Maybe some women who find crossdressing husbands are OK for them will tell their friends that it's OK. It's part of how societies change -- first people have to understand that it *can* be done and then they go and do it.
