It is relevant, Cindy, thank you. I have already posted this, but I recently sold my car,  which was bought when I was named Michael. The dealer looked at the paperwork and asked what relation I was to Mike. I replied " I'm Michael, I have transitioned from male to female, here's my name change order." What followed was an hour long discussion answering his questions about his transitioning granddaughter. There is a benefit to being open and honest with the world, for those with the courage and willingness to do so.

Hugs, Devlyn

I totally agree, unfortunately in emergency situations, particularly when you cannot speak, explanations have to be kept to a minimum.

Understood, and I hope that the previous posters can see how "None of your business" wouldn't have been helpful to you, Rebecca, or the emergency room team.

I think your experiences and outlook would make an excellent book, and I would be at the front of the line to buy a copy. 

Hugs, Devlyn

I'd be pushing Devlyn out of the way to get to the front of the line [emoji16]

This is why "happy couple" was a nonstarter.
