Ten years ago this October, my spouse and I were legally married in California. At the time, I was legally recognized as a man and we received all the benefits of being a married couple. Six years ago, we moved to Arizona and I began working for my employer. Both my employer and the insurance companies that provide our benefits recognized us as a legally married couple because, at the time, I was recognized as a man and she a woman. They covered our children because they recognized them as my dependents.
Nothing to see here, right?
Two and a half years ago, I began transitioning from male to female and, after a lot of soul searching, my spouse stayed with me.
