So.... My wife and I were having a very long and deep conversation. It started off about many of the difficulties we together have been facing lately, not with each other, but just what life can throw at any of us. I had gotten into a major funk a few days ago, and was on a bit of a pity trip about these difficulties.
One of the things I am so blessed with is her incredible way of being able to perceive things and put things into perspective. Well, along the way during this conversation, and there was some religion involved but I will not go further with that, I got all choked up and just said to her, I never asked for this (being transgendered) I never wanted it. I just have always wanted to be normal. I fought it for 30 years.
I was crying pretty good by this time, and crying is not something that I do hardly at all. But boy the emotion was really just pouring out of me. She still has a fear that my being transgendered will lead to a change or a realization of sexual preference. And while saying all this, I also said, I have always just wanted women, I just can't help that I sometimes feel like one and relate to them too. I went on and cried about how hard it is being a society outcast, a misfit, reject, looked down upon, and that so many people equate CDing with being weak and a failure as a man.
Now, it is unlikely that she will ever like this aspect of me, or feel particularly comfortable, And I am ok with that. But what was so amazing is that she told me that society is wrong and that she is lucky to have me and loves me for the person I am, that I have given her more than any other man ever has. Between that and the many other ways in which she was able to put the non CDing challenging aspects of life into perspective, she really turned my mood and my hope that life will get easier. Today I feel truly blessed, and a very luck person.
