Our Mission

Our goal is to help couples in committed relationships work through a partner’s transition.

Hi, we’re Shannon Simone and Magdalena. We’ve been together 16 years, married for 13. About 8 years into our relationship, Shannon made the connection that she was transgender, and began exploring that. And as this was completely new to both of us, we each started searching for some form of support, some reassuring experiences out there to give us hope for being able to navigate this new development with our marriage intact. Unfortunately, there weren’t very many. And the ones that were out there weren’t very hopeful. So, having gone through this ourselves and come out on the other side with a better relationship, we wanted to offer that support to others in the same situation. So, if this resonates with you—if you’re in a committed relationship where one partner is transgender and you could use a place to connect with others in the same situation, to talk, vent, get different perspectives, hear encouraging stories, share small victories (and large), and feel supported in being able to consciously change with your partner—join our (online) community and check out our support groups.
