I stuck by my fiancé after she came out as trans - we got married as wives

A woman stuck by her fiancé after she came out as trans and the pair tied the knot – as wives.

Trans woman Jackie Wilbt, 32, met partner Anya, 31, when they began taking the same Japanese classes as teenagers.

Anya had a “massive crush” on Jackie, and after dating for three years, they mutually agreed to get engaged at 20.

But Jackie had always felt “uncomfortable” in her body and began exploring different styles – wearing skirts and make-up.

She dropped “small hints” to Anya about transitioning, until confessing she wanted to begin hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in 2010, aged 19.
