After 20 years of marriage, Angelita thought she knew everything there was to know about her husband, Tom. However, he had been keeping a secret for his entire life: Tom was struggling with his own gender identity—inside he felt like a woman. One day, while cleaning their garage, she came across a bag full of women's clothing and makeup. She explains, "I thought I had a perfect marriage. … I called him and said, 'I found a bag of women's clothes, is this yours?' He started crying, and he told me he felt like a woman inside. … It was devastating. The man I married, the husband that I know, is going to become a female."
