Gay

Relationship Status:
Partners, 4 years

We are both trans women who live on Madison's lovely Northside and have been partnered for four years. When we met we were still in transition and Renee was still married, but we are both through that now. Renee recently lost her former spouse and loving companion of 24 years to cancer, but on the upside Megan's brother and his wife are having a baby daughter soon. We take the bad with the good. Life goes on and so do we.

Advice: What doesn't kill you makes you avoid it the second time.

Megan is a scientist and Renee is an freelance IT consultant. We enjoy gardening every summer and in the winter we enjoy the snow covered landscape. We also live with our two cats, Mee-moo and Romaki. Cute!

Most of our neighbors know about us, in fact some of them watched Renee transition over the years and we still have good relations with them. Much love to our family and friends - you know who you are!

We have both been active in our local LGBT community for years and the people we meet give us hope for the future of humanity even through the residents of our fair stated voted discrimination into our state constitution.

Opinion: Letting the majority decide the fate of the minority population, bad move!

Maybe the next generation can undo this injustice? Can we wait that long?

IMHO, no!

When we were in Thailand this last winter we noticed how the Thai people didn't really care what your orientation or gender identity was, they treated everyone with respect and kindness. That is what we wish for our community. A world where you can be who you really are without threat or prejudice. A world where you can have your deeply felt beliefs and convictions without tearing someone else down in the process. Things are getting better for transgender people in America but there is still so much hate out there for people who are different or take a different path. People are people and love is love. Pass it on...
