First triggers first. No one "transitions" from one sex (M--XY chromosomes) to another (F--XX chromosomes). Sex is not changeable. I don't care what the "common usage" is. That usage developed out of a trans-supporting industry.
Second: I am utterly and completely uninterested in helping a man with gender dysphoria who has chosen to treat that dysphoria by beginning to live as if he were a woman "navigate the future" with his spouse, which necessarily requires her to remake her own sexuality in order to fit her husband's newly declared sexual identity. There are many forums out there for that already: My Husband Betty (Helen Boyd), etc.
Third: If his wife wants to come here to talk about her own situation, *she's* welcome, as far as I'm concerned.
Fourth, and last: And these will be my only words directed to "Theresa": if you want to be ethical, divorce your wife and free her to be her own authentic self rather than feeling entitled to her care and help and partnership, and asking her to remake herself and her sexuality and redefine her life by your dysphoric embrace of the idea you can be a woman. Any man who loves his wife doesn't put her through the agony of living with a man who is attempting to live as if he were a woman. She didn't sign up for it; she didn't ask for it; she doesn't want it. If you want to have "peace" with your decision, go find it with a therapist, and don't come here asking those of us partnered to the likes of you to absolve you and give you peace.
