Excellent book for partners

A Significant Other View by Julie Freeman is now available through Amazon.com.

Julie Freeman is the wife of a crossdresser. Over the past two decades, she has written a monthly column on transgendered issues from the viewpoint of a significant other. Her articles address concerns and fears of wives and partners new to the crossdressing phenomenon, worries and doubts facing transgendered, and more general topics related to gender considerations on a variety of levels.

A Significant Other View is a compilation of her articles in chronological order starting in 1991, a few years after she learned about her husband's crossdressing, and continuing through 2013.

Julie has been married almost 50 years to her husband, Donna, who runs a support group for transgendered, their families, and friends in Northern California. They have two adult daughters who know about their father's crossdressing and are supportive.
