Since Tina appeared well into my adult life with the help and support of a loving wife, there has never been an insecure moment.

But the "carryover" part of the discussion has been fascinating for us. My wife took advantage of a moment where we had been talking about a variety of issues as husband and wife. Tina came to visit later in the day and they had the same conversation as girlfriends, specifically because my wife was curious to see if opinions would change looking at issues from a woman's perspective. It made us look at Tina in a different light, showing just how much transition there is between my two gendered selves. Oh,there were some significant differences, which really surprised us!
