We are going with a simple, honest, underwhelming reveal (email, probably this weekend). Give them the basics and let them go where they feel most comfortable, at the rate that works best for them. We will be as open with them as we can/want to. But I'm beginning to realize (what might be obvious to everyone else), that I/we set the tone for the reaction.

Thanks again for all the ideas. Changing body in order to make it more comfortable to live in - that's just indisputable! Who can argue with that?

I hope you all have a great night!

Best of Luck! Let us know how it went and good luck to your partner on his surgery!
