Kari, I too would thank you for sharing your own and your wife's finding of a way through the woods of your transgenderism.
I have been amazingly fortunate in the attitude of my O&O. She has been for more than fifty years my one and only true love, and I am coming to believe that the essence of the love we have for each other is independent of sex or gender, even though those may have helped us build and strengthen it. In our case our relationship was built first on friendship and shared experience, much of it before any physical relationship entered the scene. As soon as she grasped the implications of my transgender nature, she insisted that we go forward to tackle its implications in full partnership, despite the problems for her.
Our physical lovemaking had never been more than partly dependent on my male function, so the destruction of the latter that had already occurred had been less of a disaster than it might have been. The absorption of my transgender emergence into the situation has been producing new and evolving perspectives for both of us within our overall relationship. It has all the same withstood to date the stresses to which it has been exposed without undue signs of strain.
Hugs
Annie
