If I couldn't tell in the first place, then I guess it wouldn't matter too much. I guess I'd still love him/her, just as long as he/she can't beat me in an arm wrestling match.

I'm guessing things wouldn't look exactly the same "down there" so hopefully you'd already know before the wedding!

Gender is not as simple as X's and Y's. It's much more of a continuum than we'd care to admit.

Your wife may have been born "a man" with an XY chromosome pair and may never have even realized it because of cases where hormones are not properly absorbed.

As to what the OP was probably getting at, how could you marry someone without learning about their past? It seems like both parties are to blame. One for omission/lying and the other for blindness.

+1

I'm of the belief that gender is a social construct. In some ancient societies masculinity and femininity were not based on biological sex, but certain attributes/personality characteristics.

To the OP, do you mean a transgender person who was born biologically male and had a sex change to become a female? Or somebody who has a biologically female body but identifies as a guy in their consciousness?

Being that my wife has birthed our child, I'm pretty sure this is a decision I'll never have to face.

I was thinking along the lines of born a man and then had a sex change to become female. I'm talking about a genuine-looking female, not some hairy guy wearing a dress.

The sex change is a misnomer. "She" doesn't really get a designer vagina but rather a similar looking orifice where the peepee once was. It doesn't have a clitoris and it definitely doesn't get wet when "she" is excited. Given these, how can a normal guy not tell that Georgia used to be George?
