I hope you’ll indulge me one more post that relates to my October trip to Provincetown, MA.

In our never-ending search for just the right place to sit and chill, we once decided to use the Hospitality Suite during the afternoon, but our plan was thwarted by the presence of a class/seminar called 10 Things I Love About My TG Relationship. They were enthusiastic about having us stay and participate, going so far as to show me a list that they had previously compiled and asking for our input. It was surprising – almost to the point of being unsettling – how similar are the experiences of this group of vastly different people and how many of the things on the list resonated with us!

But, interesting or not, we had other things on our minds, and we left after a few minutes.

That list of 10 things women love about their TG spouse… you wanted it, didn’t you? Well, here it is:

10 Things I Love About Having a TG Spouse

Serious

1. The sweet person that you fell in love with has a feminine side
2. You chose him for a reason
3. Some of the things that attracted you are from the femme side of his personality
4. His look is one of the things that you noticed
5. The way he reacts to you
6. The way he really wants to understand you
7. The way he deals with his mom (or yours), his sister, grandmother, aunts
8. When he says that he loves everything about you, he really means it
9. He really wants to spend time just being with you
10. When he says he will never hurt you, he really means it

Silly

1. He understands the need for six black skirts
2. He understands the need for six black purses
3. He understands the need to go shoe shopping
4. He understands that you feel better if your underwear matches
5. He really wants to see what not to wear
6. He loves to people-watch
7. He loves to be a member of the fashion police
8. He understands that some curse words are really offensive
9. He will watch chick flicks with you
10. He will loan you his stuff

Simple

1. You never run out of shampoo, conditioner, shaving gel, razors, pantyhose, mascara, blue eye shadow
2. The only person in the world that will hold you while you have cramps and say “If I could have them for you, I would” and mean it
3. When you nurse your child, the look in his eyes
4. When he says you look beautiful when you are eight months pregnant, he really means it
5. He understands that giving birth is a miracle
6. He never laughs when you cry at romantic movies
7. He can and will hold you when you cry
8. The hurt look when you do lash out at him
9. He can hold a conversation
10. He really does want to know what you are thinking
