Hi everyone,

This is a recent article regarding the wives of transgender spouses. I thought it was rather good. I need to check out the resources later.

I started reading it but found it too upsetting. especially the one saying all the time that they wouldn't transition, and then did. It's too frightening. But yes, it certainly highlights just how bloody hard it is for the partners in all this. Thanks for sharing.

What really struck me is that even with a lot of media right now featuring trans people, the viewpoint of their spouse is very absent. I was really happy to read something that noted that too--I'm not going crazy!

I saw this article within the first week of finding out about my husband, before I found this group. It helped me feel less alone but also made me sad. But maybe a lot of things make me sad these days...

Powerful article...thank you for sharing.
Feeling alone in this journey is probably one of the most difficult parts to deal with. I don't know where this journey will take us...that piece can be terrifying. The anger and the sadness wash over me in overwhelming waves sometimes. Feeling unable to share it with or to seek support from my family and friends while the journey is in its early stages is miserable.
Thank goodness for this group and the knowledge that there are more of us wives out there in a
similar journey.
