Transvestite Wives looks at three transvestite relationships, as seen through the eyes of their wives and partners. In the Scottish Highlands, Sheila discovered seven years into her marriage that her husband Dennis was a transvestite. In Newark, 20-year-old Sam, is embracing her 40-year-old partner Chris’ tranny lifestyle; and in Barnsley, Robyn, who has struggled to be accepted for her weight problem, at last finds happiness with her cross-dresser husband Dean.

Transvesite Wives Dean and Robyn
They chatted for 45 minutes, swapped mobile phone numbers and began dating.
Chicago-born Robyn said: “I had seen what appeared to be a tall, gorgeous red-headed woman moving on the dance floor, but when she offered me her hairbrush, it turned out to be a man called Dean.
“We got on really well immediately. I accepted who he was and that it was not my place to change him.
“Even if we had got together in normal circumstances and he had come out with it later, I wouldn’t have had a problem.
“It is something that is just part of him. I love being with my husband and the person he is.”
Robyn found many similarities between her struggles to be accepted as a larger woman, and Dean and his friends’ struggles to be accepted simply as women. She runs hair and makeup groups for transwomen and said she enjoys their company more than that of genetic girls. The most touching part of their story was when they took a transsexual friend to Blackpool for the day – their friend’s first day out dressed during daylight hours. The success of their relationship was attributed to the fact that Robyn met DeAnn before she met Dean. The couple have also set up a support network for local transsexuals and transvestites.
Anyone who dresses partially or fully in female clothing should watch this film especially if they are contemplating coming out. If nothing more it will give them a feel good factor afterwards. Actually I was surprised the BBC made such a positive documentary about cross-dressing, and I especially think these couples coming out on camera and via the internet to the rest of the world was particularly brave of them. Although this documentary is 2 years old, trannies and cross dressers are being born every day so this is dedicated to those who have not seen it yet, or have just recently discovered the real them.
There are sections of the film on Youtube but it would mean searching for all of them. This film download is reasonable quality and in one segment.
