SO’s
Spouses. This is a difficult one. However, as with any problem one experiences in their family, one must get educated and make their own decisions and create a new boundary. I realize, I am more understanding of men with GID than many genetic women, as…my older brother told me…when we were 5 yrs and 7 yrs…that he felt like a girl. I have seen the “emotional” torture…that ignorant people put upon him. I would support someone I loved, regardless of GID or cancer. If your SO is “out of control” then immdediate, honest, communication must happen, and a new set of rules must be established. Many couples decide to only dress when together, while others prefer to not have their SO see them dressed (as they get embarressed and still like to be a “man” for their wife). But, discuss, stay close, and work out what you can to stay together. TG’s should not “force” this on family, if they are not ready.
