Marcus: But my question to you is this: has your acceptance of Betty ever led to problems? Have you been the subject of hostility for your views?.And, Helen’s primary regret is that she is no longer married to a crossdresser. The most significant part of the interview, excerpted below, is that Betty did transition to living fully as a woman. I found an interview from 2013 conducted by Vivienne Marcus, a New Zealander TG blogger. So, I looked for updates on Helen (actually Gail Kramer). I recalled that by her second book, Betty had begun a more significant transition. I do not know if she and her wife are still together, but her new persona made me wonder about what had happened to yet another person in the transgender community, Helen Boyd (author of “My Husband Betty”). I have not yet found an explanation regarding what happened, but what happened is less relevant than that her situation did change.


Her recent material seems to indicate that things have changed. It looked to me that she was going to continue to identify as a crossdresser and proceed to interact with the gender community in that role. Some of her material just prior to that time indicated that she had come to a good place in her life with an understanding wife. She can, in my opinion, declare herself a woman if she chooses.Īpparently, sometime after I had lost track of her, (I actually moved to a new city with my last employment) she had a crisis and began a new direction with her life. I neither know nor care whether there have been any physical changes. What I found was that she now has apparently gone full-time, living and working as a woman. I wondered where she had gone and what had developed in her life as a crossdresser.

I even found some of my own comments on her website from 2012. I remember reading some of her stuff several years back and thinking it was pretty savvy. I have had this proclivity for as long as I can remember and have been engaging in some kind of crossdressing for sixty years.Īs I was reviewing some old material the other day, I came across an essay that was authored by a CD blogger named Gabrielle Hermosa in 2009. I think we’ll get by!Īnyway, since I have some time to work on other things, it occurred to me that I still want to continue to grow in my understanding of my CD propensity and to know where it will take me as I grow older. Will I look for another position? I don’t know right now – I’m working through my project list, eating and sleeping better, and losing some of the weight I’d planned to for the last year. Several months ago, I found that my latest employment gig had changed significantly and was not very satisfying.
