Data obtained from seven female partners of nonpatient transvestites are presented. None were receiving psychiatric treatment. The group was self-assembled and affiliated with a cross-dressing social organization. The sample was divided into Acceptors and Rejectors based on the degree of acceptance of their mate's cross-dressing activities. Mean relationship duration was 9.9 years. None were traumatized by accidental discovery of their mate's transvestism. Childhood loss of parent(s), substance abuse, and divorce were rare. None had had homosexual experiences. Four of seven transvestite mates were reported by their partners to have gender dysphoric symptoms at some point in their lives. All of the couples' children (two male, three female) knew of their father's transvestism by direct observation at young ages; sons from two different families were noted to cross-dress spontaneously.
本文呈现了从七名非患者异装癖者的女性伴侣处获取的数据。她们均未接受精神治疗。该群体是自行组建的，并隶属于一个异装癖社会组织。样本根据对伴侣异装行为的接受程度分为接受者和拒绝者。平均恋爱时长为9.9年。她们均未因意外发现伴侣的异装癖而受到精神创伤。童年丧亲、药物滥用和离婚情况罕见。她们均无同性恋经历。七名异装癖伴侣中有四名被其伴侣报告在人生的某个阶段出现过性别焦虑症状。所有夫妻的孩子（两男三女）在年幼时通过直接观察都知晓了父亲的异装癖；来自两个不同家庭的儿子被发现会自发地异装。
