Happy to chat anytime, I think it would make for a great post comparing the two health systems.
I have a follow up, I also spoke to my brother about the change and as much as I thought it would break his brain, it only resulted in small flaking with an eye twitch occasionally. He and his wife were fine with it though. My son is coming round tonight at 5 and I will be talking to him about it as well. I think by telling my family my wife is starting to have that feeling of "this is happening" so I expect some upset moving forward, but we will work through it together. The difficult one will be her parents, they are very southern and as much as they think they are "progressive" I think having someone Trans in the family will REALLY do them in. I know her brother will have a complete freak out, my only concern is that she's ok with it. My wife, son, brother and sister are the only ones I care about and so far everyone has been fine.
I will admit, there's a small part of me, a very immature part, that is looking forward to telling her father, he can be a dick sometimes...
