CROSS DRESSING
WITH DIGNITY

PERSONAL PROFILE

Hi and welcome. My name is Dennis or Denise (Kenike in Hawaiian) depending on my chosen gender expression.
I would like to share my story with you.
Madeline and I married young and have three wonderful grown up children.
Like most of us, I started cross dressing as a teenager back in the sixties with no one to talk to, it confused the hell out of me!
I wasn't Gay but felt better wearing ladies clothing-what was happening !!
Over the next 20 years I dressed in secret not telling Madeline, I felt guilty because of the lies, worthless and at times very depressed. Too much society generated, emotional garbage for any individual to carry around.

In 1994 a major incident happened which really made me look at myself and for the first timeI had to find out and be proud of who I really was. I can remember looking in the mirror at Dennis over the years and having no idea who that reflection belonged to. It just wasn't me. I was lost!

In 1996 we came across C.D.ROMNZ and with the group's support I started my journey for the truth, that would ultimately set "my spirit free"! I told Madeline very gently and with her help we told our three children and my Mum and Dad, also selected friends. The general feeling with everyone concerned was relief. The barrier I had put up to hide behind which they had all felt, was down. If they couldn't understand my Cross/Transgender personality, they very much appreciated my honesty. On telling Michelle, our youngest daughter, of Denise she offered me her Pink outfit. Madeline was most put out that Michelle hadn't offered it to her. Michelle's comment "Well mum, I think it would look better on Dad". Free thinking children are just so accepting of honest parents, thank you Michelle. The first time I saw Denise in the mirror I knew who that reflection belonged to, Denise had completed the circle.

Today I balance myself as a person of two spirits. I work and earn a living as Dennis, I support my wife and family as Dennis, we all enjoy Dennis for the strong, caring, masculine looking person he is. But my leisure time is for Denise, that is who I would really rather be, feminine, spiritual and sensitive and because Madeline hasn't lost Dennis, she is so accepting and loving of Denise. Have fun with your Cross/Transgender personality. Keep your
whole world balanced. Cherish your supportive partner, family and friends. Don't become too vain and watch your feminine side transform you into the very special whole person you are.

Kindest regards
Kenike


PERSONAL PROFILE (2)

Hi and welcome. My name is Madeline and I am married to Dennis my best friend and soul mate.
The way I deal with and feel about guys who crossdress, is that it is something they must do to feel complete, not something they necessarily want to do. Everyone needs to be accepted by mainstream society, but with this overpowering urge to show their feminine side, at times the crossdresser's life can be in conflict. To me it is just another part of their personality or their soul needing to be acknowledged.
How can that be wrong?
Every time we help transform a guy, at the start of the makeover he seems a little up-tight and nervous, but once he is fully in the feminine mode he is just glowing and relaxed. The way I see this is, he just melts inside. His spirit is set free.
How can this wonderful feeling be called wrong, when it is achieved by being true to yourself?
All I can say is love that special part of who you are, keep it balanced and enjoy the whole beautiful person you are.

Love and Inner peace
Madeline
