I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison at the same time as Mark/Marci Bowers. He completed a biology bachelor of science degree while I was there. I didn't know him, but must have passed him in Science Hall or Van Vleck or any of the other buildings on Bascom Hill, the main section of that huge campus. He went on to marry Ann Bowers and after the birth of their third child, Mark "came out as Marci." This is typical of AGP men who "transition" in middle age. He was already a physician and went on to intern with the doctor who set up Trinidad, Colorado as "gender surgery town" outside of Denver. Ann is still married to him, but he said in an alumni newsletter that he and Ann "are like sisters." So insulting. Ann stayed in Seattle, raising the kids. This style of "keeping the family together" was offered to me, as a trans widow, in 1995. I said no. I do hope that Ann has her own life. Some of these guys sue the wife for divorce based on infidelity when she finds a new man. All with the blessings of the "sexologists."
That's horrific, I'm sorry for what you went through Ute, and suing the wife for trying to get their lives back is the kind of narcissistic cruelty that this ideology indulges to the max. Interesting also, just as you say, how these AGP professional men, their trajectory is so similar. I think Richard/Rachel Levine also had marriage and kids first, THEN starts telling the youth of America that they should submit to drugs and surgery and that everyone should go along with it. AGP men then use the lives of these young people (labelled "dysphoric") as a mask, a shield against the exposure and shame of their paraphilia/fetish/AGP.
Yes, R Levine was married for 23 years and the father of children. Martha the mother of the children was also a doctor, a pediatrician specializing in treating girls with anorexia. I would imagine she recognized the social contagion her husband got sucked into. He never mentions her and she's never spoken publicly about it. The timing of the divorce is the year after he "came out," so I assume she never "tried to stay."
