My Husband became my Wife and made me love her more By Kelly Allen, Saturday 16 May 2020   I met Zoey in a pub in Cardiff in 2007. I was definitely not looking for commitment after previously being hurt, but she intrigued me and after a few months of being on again, off again, I knew that she was a special soul. From day one she showed me love and kindness like I’d never experienced before. At this point, Zoey presented as male – and would do for another 10 years. I would find out later that it...

She didn’t understand why I was crying on her bed at the young age of 12. She told me she’d told my mother I was a boy when I was only two. She’d always known I wasn’t a girl. She was the one that talked my mom into letting me wear boys’ clothes. She bought me wrestling figures, action figures, trucks, and cars. She bought me...
