"I'm a Male to Female transexual. I'm married to a wonderful woman (Julie) who is my wife of 13 years. We have 3 great children ages 20, 17,13. In 2002 I came out to my wife and children. It took a year to have all three of my children come around, my 17-year-old daughter was my biggest critic now my greatest advocate. My wife is my life partner, my soul mate she knows changing my male body to a woman's body won't change the love I feel for her or hers for me. The only objection by her to my GRS is that she is afraid the state of Pennsylvania will disavow our marriage once the surgery is done. Being a married couple is very important to her. Can the state do this?
What if I don't change my birth certificate post-surgery to reflect my new gender? Can you give me an idea what kind of fight I am in for? "
