This guy (and he will never be anything but a guy), if he thought he was "Susan" all along, should never have married and never brought an innocent child into the world just to destroy his life. That you sympathize with him over the INNOCENT parties in this story shows YOUR judgmentalism. You have made a judgment that it's A-OK to devastate others' lives to "fulfill" one's own twisted vision of themselves. Enough with the tired pap about "miserable self-denial" -- no one forced him to do anything. He made a choice and now he is making another choice, one that has destroyed a child's life. Oh please Gary.

If these people refrained from entering into marriages based on lies to begin with, we wouldn't have these tragedies. But no, you insist on self-abnegation, a life in miserable self-denial. And when the burden is too much for the person to bear, you tag him as a selfish villain, blithely dismissing how much conservative judgmentalism contributes to the scenario.
