A Decision to Help .....

Hello!

My name is Jenna Taylor. I’m a happily married 38 yr old cross dresser (CD) in Charlotte NC. I’ve been married to my wife for just over 15 years and we have two wonderful daughters - ages 6 and 9.

I’ve been a CD since I was around 10 years old. Until I was 35 years old I was totally fine with hiding that side of myself. I never felt guilty; I never purged my stuff, it was just part of who I was.

When I was 35, something clicked in my brain that told me it was time to explore the feminine side of me. I wanted to start meeting people. I wanted to start going out. Jenna was born.

I told my wife and at first, she was shocked. Both that I was a CD and that I had hid it from her for so long. After a few days of processing, she became very supportive. We have worked out a system that works for us. It’s probably different than what works for most CD’s and their spouses, but it works for us.

My wife has no desire to ever see Jenna. I’m fine with that. I told her because I didn’t want to have to sneak behind her back to meet people, go out, etc. I also knew that at some point that she would find out.

My wife is fine with talking about Jenna related issues if I need to talk. She has no problems with me having CD friends, GG (genetic girls) friends, etc. She has met several of Jenna’s friends. In return, I always make sure that she knows who I’m going out with and where we are heading.

Over the course of the last 2.5 years I have made some wonderful friends. I have chatted with lots of people online. I hear it a lot that I am easy to talk with and that people feel comfortable talking with me because I am so open.

Over the past 2.5 years, several times I have thought that maybe Jenna was supposed to help people. That’s not a feeling that my guy side has ever felt. I have been wondering the past 2-3 weeks, that maybe this is my “calling” in life. My guy side has never felt a calling in life. Work is work... I go … I get paid... I come home. I’ve been wondering if either I missed the calling because I was looking in the wrong place (i.e. the wrong side of me) … or maybe … I hadn’t discovered my calling yet because I wasn’t ready for it .. and now I am (thanks RKM!).

I’m not sure yet what my calling may be, but I’ve decided to start writing a weekly CD Column which I’ve entitled “The Life of a Happily Married Cross Dresser - A roller Coaster of Emotions”. The purpose of the column isn’t to offer advice - I’d just like to share my experiences. (things that helped me get over my fears of going out, challenges that my wife and I have experienced and how we overcame them, etc).

I hope that you will find this column beneficial. Please feel free to send me any comments, feedback, etc that would make this more helpful!

Thanks... and catch you soon!
