TRANS-POSITIONED - About being the lesbian-identified partner of an FTM, by the wondrous Loree Cook-Daniels. "I expected rejection. I expected incredulity. I expected anger. I expected curiosity. What I did not expect was what I found. Out of the first 30 or so coupled lesbian friends we talked to, threeadmitted that one of the partners felt she was also a female-to-male transsexual (FTM). A fourth lesbian friend said she had struggled with the question for many years before deciding to keep her female body and role. During the whole nine years Marcelle and I had grappled in isolation with that invisible elephant in the living room, other lesbians we knew and socialized with were cohabitating with the same beast!"
 
TS and Marriage - "A couple enters a marriage because they care about the welfare of their partner. The couple agree to work together in times of health or sickness, during times of financial plenty or when disaster hits. Should one spouse be severely injured in an accident, would the other spouse immediately file for divorce because of such a change in the marriage situation? Very, very few would."
 
The Couples' Network - Relationships between men and women are difficult enough with the pressures of jobs, money, children, bills and family matters. When the issue of transgenderism is added to this already boiling cauldron, it's good to know that there are others who have successfully navigated through this stretch of water. You are not alone, nor are you in unexplored territory.
 
The TG Partners Page - our loved ones have been pretty much left out of all this. Even sites that have some support for you often require you to start at a TG person's Home Page that has a beautiful (but possibly upsetting to you) photograph at the top. Wives, Partners, and other Significant Others, this site is for you. It is being created and maintained by a married man who crossdresses. I sincerely hope that it provides you with a friendly, non-threatening place to share your thoughts with many, many others.

What If? - A lovely essay by a Quaker P-FLAG member. "Look, we take chances. We are in the business of saving lives. Lives of confused youth, lives of desperate adults. Does it make a difference? What is each of those lives worth? Who else is really fighting for those we seek to save?...There is a responsibility here. A responsibility that few are willing to accept. Most simply turn their faces away... what you can not see simply does not exist."
 
When you love the one you're with.... - "'Impossible! Ha Ha very funny! No Way! How? How could you?' and then stunned silence. These were some of the many reactions I had when my SO told me that he was transgendered. The man I loved with all my heart and soul, the man I promised to stand by through all of life's hardships and joys, the man I married wasn't a man at all. He was a woman born into a man's body."
