A question for any trans people or anyone who might know. I was just in an online meeting [View all]
for one of the A's anonymous groups. Anyway the woman who was speaking was talking about her first marriage and she said, "Well, then he decided he was a woman" and blah blah and then they got divorced.
The meeting is still going on but it bugged me so I left and decided to come here and ask some people who might really know.
It sounds to me that it is at the least being ignorant and lacking compassion for the spouse who, to me must have been living with a horrible scary secret. Anyone that I have known that came out about being trans later in life has obviously been trying to hide and fit in and be something that they aren't.
Maybe she still has a resentment about this person and that is why she phrased it as such. But at this point in time, especially after learning about Caitlyn Jenner's life I don't think anyone with any knowledge can say, "Well he decided he was a woman" It just doesn't work that way.
