Crash motivates lone survivor to change genders

MILWAUKEE- In a flash earlier this year, a family was changed forever.

Police say an oncoming driver suffered a seizure, lost control and slammed into a car innocently waiting at a stop sign.  Four family members were in the struck car.  The crash in New Berlin killed Patti White, her brother Tom Wagner and Tom's wife, Cathy.

There is a surviving sibling.  Tom and Patti's brother, William Wagner, lived.

"I remember pulling out of the driveway and the next thing I remember is someone cutting my seatbelt and my brother's dead next to me," the survivor said.

That terrible collision not only inspired a life change, it has moved William to change genders.  He said he legally changed his name to Justine April.

Similar case in a book I have where a woman was in a coma after a MVA, and when she awoke her family were so relieved to have her alive they didn't argue about her decision to transition in the least.

Good to see all the positive comments there (vastly outnumbering the two idiot trolls).
