My story
About a year ago, I attempted to join either this group or another for support. I am a woman who's attracted to crossdressers. At the time, I had just gone through a painful break up. It was sudden & it left me blindsided. I felt that other partners could relate to the emotional shock. This man wasn't just some guy whose dresses I admired. He was my friend. I enjoyed our time together, including our lively discussions.
Again, it may or may not have been this group. I was already feeling isolated. Many of our mutual friends were fading away. Imagine how I felt when a moderator accused me of trolling for hook-ups. She also said that it was a place for wives & ex-wives who'd felt betrayed. As a former gf who had embraced my ex-bf's life, I "didn't count". When I asked why she thought my own betrayal feelings hurt any less than anyone else's, I never got a response.
I allowed myself time to mourn the loss. I treated me like a queen. I discovered new interests & renewed old interests. I've learned from the experience & come out far stronger. Today the pain is a distant memory & I enjoy meeting new people, having new experiences... and life itself.
