yep.... that's what my wife said to me during our talk yesterday...
I had my appointment with the endo (wife knew about, and has seen my official diagnosis of GID /Dysphoria, being a candidate for HRT.) at the dr's office, after answering some questions and getting some blood tests, they prescribed me spiro & estridiol (so now i'm one of the happiest girls in the world ) later wife asks, what medicine did they give you (after she got upset about me having blood tests), so i told her, she says.."ok"... then apparently she realized what the medicines were for, (i wonder if she thought that I, as an MTF TS, would go to 2 doctors, and a counselor... to get male hormones )
a while later, she flips out about how i'm going to shrink (in places), grow breasts, etc.... which really hurt me... a lot, it's like the only parts of me she cares about... is the physical wrapper, and a minor and frequently unreliable organ...
so i asked her, if i had some sort of cancer there and they had to remove it, what would you do? ..... "that's different".... later in the evening, she looks at me and says "i would rather you had cancer than this." I was like what? her reasoning is that cancer doesn't last for 60-70 years.... :| so yeah.... i'm still kind of upset/depressed/hurt over that....
on a better note, I did tell my parents, (even my dad, who was a bit nonplussed about the whole thing initially, told me that he was glad that I was happy and sounded more confident.. , and a couple of close friends, and they have been universally supportive
