Re: Venting
StraightSpouse,
I meant transitioning to live as if he were a woman. (I refuse to use the terms MtF because no one can change their sex; males cannot become females.) He planned to take hormones, but after he decided to stay in the closet and limit his feminizing activities to the home--which essentially meant clothes and cosmetic procedures like shaving and plucking--he decided not to take them. However, he's overweight, so he has fatty tissue on his chest that gives him "moobs" (man-boobs) that he likes to manipulate as if they were breasts.
And yes, living with such a man attacks your own sense of who you are as a woman. I am still dealing with that at over one year out, although I am slowly making progress.
