Trans people are increasingly part of the lesbian/queer community as our relationships and families expand. Katrina Fox talks to couples in which one partner is trans about their love and the special bonds they've forged, often as a result of facing adversity together.

When I met my partner, Tracie O'Keefe, 18 years ago I was in seventh heaven. Here was a self-assured, intelligent, glamorous woman with amazing cheekbones and a sense of camp to match my own. I had finally found my own personal Joan Collins.

When a friend insisted Tracie had "had a sex change" and was "born a man", I couldn't give two hoots. She was still the gorgeous, sultry goddess I had fallen for and her "history" made no difference to how I felt about her.
