"I'll Stand By You" by Pretenders

Rachel update 30-March-2020: turns out the original link is dead, I've added some new ones below.  Also removed "The" from the band name, it's just "Pretenders" without a "The".

I should add some notes to this now, since I'm out now living as a transgender-woman.  I believe that trip to my doctor was an epic one! The one when my doctor put me on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) to begin my transition.

This is my 5 year anniversary of living full-time as a woman.  It was the end of March 2015 and I started to put on some men's clothes to take a load to the dumps.  And SueZQ jumped in my shit, told me now that I'd come out to Mariah, it would confuse her  if she saw me wearing men's clothes again.  I legally changed my name and gender on 5-May-2015.

Anyway, it is pretty rare that a relationship/marriage survives one of the persons in it changing their gender.  So SueZQ staying with me after my transition is really incredible, she really has stood by me.

Original Post:

We were on the way home from the doctor's office today and this song came on the radio.  Sue said that it should be her theme song and I have to agree, she certainly has done that.
