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.

Worked for the boston globe. No need to read any further.
Huh?! Say what?! Is that what they do in France?
Why does this crap get posted anyway?
How sad.
They were together for two years before he deceived her into marrying him, and than he waited until two months later to “break the news.”
Somebody here has been lying, ‘cause I don’t imagine that’s a decision made on the spur of the moment.
It’s because of crap like this I don’t buy the concept of “converting” a queer into straight. Who wants to be the experimental woman on the other end of that, knowing you’re the guy’s second choice? Blecch.
I could no longer maintain a friendship with a man who mistreated me so badly, nevermind sexual relations. You don’t mistreat someone who loves you like that. They’re both f’d up in the head, she in trying to be loyal to what passed himself off as a loving friend.
I don’t *care* how happy she claims to be. My heart weeps for her.
We probably have more in common with the aliens and the zoo animals, than with these two deranged individuals.
Agreed, but even more troubling is the Media campaign to make not only their behavior but their delusional thinking main-stream and a new reality. To those that say calling this Media social-engineering and brainwashing, is conspiratorial or far-fetched, I offer this quote:
"But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." George Orwell
The day my guy unstraps his .40 XDM, takes off his camo Tee shirt and puts on a little black dress you can color me outta here. LOL!!!
That is an excellent analogy. Proclaim it from the hills.
