I wonder (really) how many SO's would prefer suppression over their partner's health or even life. If there's a theme in this and related threads, it's self-sacrifice. I just wonder how many would take it to the literal, logical end. It's interesting that the many who can see the psychological urgency in TS identity issues have trouble extending it into the non-TS, TG realm. I.e., crossdressing, after all, is "just" crossdressing. It's selfish, it can be started and stopped like flipping a switch, it's superficial and external, it's an addiction (just like smoking!) etc. etc. etc.
Answering my own question, I bet a LOT of SO's would be willing take a hit to their partner's health "for the benefit of the relationship." And a few would indeed prefer the partner to drop dead.
