Hello,
My husband, as I understand it, has been a regular irritant to the people on this board for a while, and has been asking me to join. I've been a bit reluctant because I am more of the lurker type, even on forums concerning subjects that I'm actually interested in. Additionally, I figure I'll probably get banned for being inconsiderate at some point. Well, I have some time now during which I'm doing nothing but trying to simmer down from experiencing some of the more frustrating aspects of wiring an electric fence, so here I am. It doesn't look like this SO forum get much activity, though.
I already want to go play World of Warcraft instead. ...Eh, I've already started writing this; I should finish it. I hate introductions. Let's see...
I married my husband a few years ago (always forget the year -- just remember the day and month because he programmed it into an alarm system), and he always has been a nice guy. He's one of those people who seems to get satisfaction out of helping people. They're good to have around, but you do wonder about the sanity of people like that, or wonder if they'll just fall apart some day and end up in an asylum wearing their shorts on their head and gibbering about the futility of it all. He tried to transition to female when he was in his late teens, I believe, and eventually got disillusioned, as I understand it, and decided to go back to being male. Our relationship is good and generally calm. We have the occasional argument. His dysphoria is an ever-present, but not overwhelming. Sometimes he does get pretty broken-up about it (usually after a stressful event), but most of the time he seems to have a handle on things.
I really doubt I'd be a good SO to get any advice from because my situation is cake compared to what other SOs have to go through.
Oh, well. I'm here.

Hello. I am not only a transsexual but I am the spouse of a transsexual.
We got married before our transitions so we have alot of history togather before transition.
I am geting a first hand view to the issues that I am bringing to my family in a very intimate way.
Hang around. I lurk the SO board and most of the others. And I am very aware of what its like to have a trans spouse.
Welcome to the forums Hippos. Your husband has a very neat perspective on things and I'm glad he's around to share it with us. I'm glad that you're also here to share your perspective with us too. 8)
Heya all, I guess you've now met my wife.
We talk a lot about some of the concepts presented here and I've often mentioned to her that she might be of help to some of the SO's here having known me for nearly 10 years now and going through my ups and downs.
Despite her cold exterior, she is truly a thoughtful and considerate person. I hope she will have welcome contributions to his group.
