Jenniferathome had a simple and great reply. I look at my son and daughter and know I would be in for some of the same initial reactions. My son is extreemly conservative, my daughter conservative herself, but accepting of others. I think whe you are seeing at the moment is initial reaction, from being startled by what your wife told them. She may have been well meaning, may have been trying to force you to stop. Either way, a therapist that specialzes in transgender issues is your best bet, and getting them involved at the proper time also. Best wishes going ahead
