Spouses of Transgender Community Group
Being transgender it's not easy but neither for their spouses. This group is created with the intention of helping and getting to know others that are in. the same situation or to just educate those that are on the other side of the fence and want to know how does it feel or how would it feel to be a spouse of a transgender person. The main objective of this group is...
He has been downright miserable to be around. Yesterday he decided to tell me about how the t blockers and black market hormones are giving him breasts and his male parts are changing. I simply said I am not comfortable continuing this conversation, and I have been treated like a pariah since. I am not supportive, blah blah blah. My boundaries are holding him back... I asked where is my support and he said, I know I should say supportive things to you, but I just can't. WHAT!!!
Then I ask him does he appreciate anything I have done for him, the support I give, the loss I am grieving. He said well I guess I appreciate that you are still here
His women's clothes, shoes, wigs are in my closet, his make up all over our bathroom. He wears panties 24/7, bras only when not sleeping, painted toes and fingers, and the only thing he appreciates is that I haven't left
Our sex life is non existent, and that is fine, his smooth skin, breasts and nail polish turn me off. I married a MAN, not this freak show he had become
WTF
I feel bad for our spouses and the lot in life they were dealt. Freak show is a little harsh but maybe accurate in that a real Freak Show was a group of people born differently that the rest of society gawks at. I feel bad for us too though. We slip through the cracks. There is no balance for us. It is so difficult to support them and support ourselves at the same time.
I hope you can work your way to a better place soon <3
I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Far too often when a spouse transitions, the emotions of the non-transitioning spouse are pushed to the wayside and it's not right. You're going through a difficult transition as well and your point of view shouldn't be diminished. I am casting a major docu-series that follow couples in the midst of a transition from the non-transitioning spouses' point of view while also respecting the trans community. If you would like to speak to our casting producer, please shoot me an email with a quick bio about the two of you. The name of our company is Tremendous Entertainment and anything you send will be 100% confidential. Rbrown@tremendousinc.com
Thank you!
