The topic is one that is a hard one to handle. We each have our opinions and I suppose, like all things in our lives, that as long as it doesn't involve murder, repression, abuse or some other violent and intentional act, that a bit of understanding might well be applied to both spouse and transitioner.
It is difficult to think that one can control that which she or he cannot. A lot of us spend years making that attempt, thinking we have "overcome" only to discover that some things are simply out-of-our-control.
I suppose it's all too easy for me to make a judgment about what someone else should have done and when. Easy because I haven't had to live their life.
