ABSTRACT

Angie has been very supportive of Tommy's cross-dressing. Although Tommy disclosed his cross-dressing to Angie. They began using the Internet as a resource. Some sites were helpful and some were scary. Neither of them knew the difference between cross-dresser, transgender, and transsexual. Since then they have been communicating more and she have learned more about transgenderism than most non-transgendered people do in a lifetime. Angie has made time for Charla, to come out and have freedom. Angie put her story online and chat with other partners of transgendered people, and in the end, after reading her own words, she realize that she have been helping herself. As she writes, it seems, without being said, that Angie also has compassion for her own feelings, vulnerability, and limitations as she seeks to create a balance for the feelings, needs, and enjoyment she and Tommy can have together as a couple.
