Question about POV

I wanted to wait until we were really into Unreachable before asking this question, but after 40 some-odd chapters I think its a good time.
What do you think of a story being told by the non-trans character's point of view? Does it work? Does it detract? Do you wish there were more discussion about how luxurious panty hose feel?
This isn't the first time I wrote a transgender novel from a non-transgender character's point of view. I did the same with Wrestling Against Myself. i didn't ask then because there were a lot of other issues people had with the work. There are a few reasons I did this. One, to escape the angst that the transsexual character is going through. Two, to get away from the psychology that I so love to explore. Three, to get a different view point of the social aspects.
I just wonder if this is a cool way of going about it. Perhaps others have written similar but I've missed it. I will be doing more of this in the future and less as well. My next three projects (if I don't revisit a christmas story I'm writing) will be from the transgender character's POV but my sequel to GBTC and Unreachable will not. I just want to know if this is something the community wants and/or appreciates.
