It’s a story of lifetime commitment that crosses gender lines: Two British trans lesbians married after one of them had gender reassignment surgery, reported British newspaper the Daily Mail on Oct. 27.
The couple had been living as a lesbian pair for years, but neither had undergone gender reassignment surgery until now, the newspaper account said. Both Jenny-Anne Bishop and Elen Heart had previously been married to women and had fathered children before beginning to live and dress as women.
When they first met in 2004, Jenny-Anne, now 65, and Elen, now 68, were both gay men. Later, they both identified as transgender and began to live as women, considering themselves to be lesbians. Jenny-Anne eventually had gender reassignment surgery, and the two wed.
