"My Husband's a Woman Now" author Leslie Hilburn Fabian, LCSW is our guest today on THE Amicable Divorce Expert podcast with Judith M. Weigle, sharing her journey through meeting her husband Dr. David Fabian, orthopedic surgeon, marrying David, and then confronting David's need to transition to female Deborah while Leslie considered her ability to remain in the marriage as a heterosexual woman. Leslie wanted to document her experiences as the spouse of a transgender person to give voice to those spouses confronting either the continuation of their marriage or a divorce, as the spouse of a transgender person is often overlooked. The focus is typically on the person transitioning and not on those closest to them. Loved ones of the transgender person have to somehow transition, too, in their thinking and acceptance of this major life change, their own identity if they are the spouse, and the ability for the children and extended family to have continued love beyond the gender transition. This will be controversial for some of you, and life-changing for others as you listen to Leslie's story of her life commitment to her happiness and her spouse's happiness, as well as self-love in the face of the hardest decision she's ever made, to stay or leave the marriage. #transgender #transgendermarriage #love #unconditionallove #selflove #MyHusbandsaWomanNow #marriage #amicabledivorce #LeslieFabian

Natalie's heart is amazing, as well as her drive to give back to her community. One of her favorite quotes is "where there is a will, there is a way," and this strong woman never quits, especially on someone she loves.Natalie was a single mother when she met Chris; Chris was raised by a single mother and felt compelled to step in. When Natalie met Chris, Chris was presenting as a woman, his gender at birth was female. Once Chris fell in love with Natalie, he felt safe to transition to a man–who he was all along. Natalie always loved Chris for who he was.

Kerry Brett, Natalie and Chris Martinez cover a lot of ground and topics include:What it's like to live in a transgender marriage.The importance of being open in love.How to be truly honest with yourself.Often we want stereotypes rather than finding the love that you need.Give yourself a chance, connect with the individual rather than the exterior.Why it's important to question conditioning.How to overcome misperceptions or judgements of others.Overcoming tradition, culture, and not being accepted.Open yourself up to love; be open because you never know what package that person may come in.Lose labels; things don't have to be in a box. Look for authenticity; people who dare to be who they are.If a person can't accept or love all of you-whatever shape or form that may be, well, that person isn't for you.In today's world, all we hear is that we are all in this together. It's important to focus on inclusion and society's acceptance rather than rejection or exclusion because we all want a sense of belonging, and we all deserve love.For more information about the non-profit Strong Women Strong Girls follow Natalie Martinez on www.swsg.org.
