I have nothing but admiration for this guy – must have been a tough decision to make. I remember seeing a clip recently where he talked about all the abuse he gets – messages on his answerphone saying things like “I hope your baby dies of AIDS”. To do it one more time, whilst educating millions of people about the realities of female-to-male transgendered individuals… sheesh. They’re obviously really brave people. I don’t know if I could do it. Looking forward to this.
I watched this program last night and thought what a remarkable couple! They will probably make better parents than lots of “normal” families. I too have admiration for the two of them. And wish them the best for their life together. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
