Transformations: Transgender 101 - the Dos and Don'ts

Hello! My name is Melinda Harris - and I'm here to take everyone on a ride through the life of the spouse of a transgender woman – a "T-bird," if you will!

My partner and I have been together for seven and a half years, and she's not the only one who's transitioned – it was a big transition for me as well, and in this column, I'd like to share with you some of the things I've learned along the way.

Together, we'll be examining everything from Trans 101, some helpful dos and don'ts, (and transgender terminology) and in future columns, I will also introduce you to some of the "movers and shakers" of the transgender community.
