It's this unseen and unspoken baggage that typically gets us into trouble with our partners. Most of the time, we don't even know we're carrying baggage around with us.
Transgendered people are different in that respect.
They usually are well-aware of their baggage. They most often just don't know what to do with it, how to deal with it, or how to shed it so their relationships can flourish. They are so often wracked with guilt that they dare not reveal their true nature to their partners. So, here we have two people, Matt and Linda, who come into a relationship, but who have learned how to deal with the issues they bring with them. Foremost is how to integrate Vanessa, Matt's femme persona, into the relationship.
