I will find out for myself soon enough. I am not a transgendered person, but I am happily married to one. Her name is Lina and she is a “male-to-female’’ transsexual. She is 47, and I am 53. We met at Logan Airport on Valentine’s Day in 2003, when we both lived in the area (we have since moved to North Carolina for work). I had left The Boston Globe copy desk the year before to be a freelance writer, and I wrote about a crazy ice-skating trip he took in my column for the Globe Travel section, “Where They Went.’’ After that, we dated, fell in love, lived together, and married. The things I loved about Wessel are what I love about Lina, and, yes, in a romantic way. She is big-hearted, intelligent, emotionally mature, athletic, and adventurous. She has great legs. We had been together for almost two years, but married for only two months, when Wessel shared his news. He wanted to be my wife, not my husband. He had come to this realization with a sense of clarity and joy. I reacted with confusion and despair. Had there been signs? Yes and no. I knew he had struggled with society’s rigid gender lines, but so had I. I knew he sometimes liked to dress in women’s clothing, but advice columnists and a host of psychologists will tell you that does not necessarily mean a man wants to be a woman. We talked about it a lot and he assured me he didn’t.

It probably won’t be much longer before we start normalizing cancer. It’s easier to deal with that way ... you don’t have to treat it.
Thank you for not posting pictures.
Pretty soon it will be; “societies strict species lines”.
Maybe these people think it's unfair they have to live above water; and think they are really meant to be a fish and live in the ocean.
Or maybe they are really a cat trapped in a humans body? Or maybe....
Why do we treat mental illness as “diversity”?
The man mutilated himself.
If my wife decided to become a man I would first be very, very depressed, then I’d leave and try (probably unsuccessfully) to take the kids. I guess that’s just my intolerant, unenlightened world view.
That said, God made these folks, too, and they do not seem like evil people to me. Or - if they are - I guess I couldn’t bring myself to stone ‘em.
This is a biological absolute.
Disgusting! Surely the celebration of this sick depravity is a sign that the end is near!
Git the barf bag.
I beg to differ! Anyone who undergoes sex reassignment is deeply deeply disturbed. Probably, in this case, from being named Wessel!
“Lina” is 47 and you are 53? Almost time for BOTH OF YOU to get your prostrates checked.
FREAKS. Typical Democrat voters.
Both are butt ugly.
Past time, aren’t you supposed to get the glove at 40?
That is because they are liberals.
No phrases better proclaim, to the rest of the world, the utter decline into delusional dementia of the West's Liberal Society . Any sound analysis must conclude "this can not end well."
The only hope is that those in the West, who have resisted the Left's social engineering and brainwashing, are sufficient in numbers, convictions and skills to save the West, before the flood of third world disorder, poverty and tyranny, that Leftist dementia has invited, completely swamps us all.
What the heck is wrong with these people? I just don't understand anymore...
