I had a break through with my wife. She does understand what I have been going through; however, does not understand why it is so different for male born. We talked about our childhood how we both felt isolated from others. For me I was jumped and made fun of called a girlly boy, for her she was left alone being a tom boy or butch girl maybe even feared by other girls. She has no desire to change her sex she is happy being a girl. We also talked about our first sexual experience with both sexes. And we talked about what turns us on for her it is what she sees I had to prove that to her, for me it is touching well being touched. I know we are mixed up that way but she thinks it because of what we look at all day in the store we own. After days of talking things out and reminding why we feel in love in the first place the issues seem to be at rest. I will not be going out wearing a dress but at least I could wear the girl jeans which fit better then the guy jeans. The shirts have to be plain solid colors or normal fitting t-shirts which is fiine with me. The main point is so what if people think we are lesbians or a straight couple. It is a start and we are working on medical insurance for us to go see a therapist.
