No, I don't think he is delusional...I think he lied so he could get what he wanted without regard to what it would do to my sister. I FEEL he was very selfish.
I can agree with you - and feel for your sisters situation. I'm a transsexual myself, but unlike your ex-brother-in-law, I made the transition in my late teens (I'm 48 now). I had always been effeminate and everyone always "knew" about my situation, so I was never in that sort of 'deceiving' mode with anyone. I'm still not.
I think your ex-brother-in-law is probably what is known as an autogynephilic transsexual. Someone who started out by getting turned-on by seeing themselves as a female. I was once friends with a transsexual who was like this: she'd been married for 30 years and had 2 sons. Then one day she just sprung this on her wife and kids. Then she was surprised (if you can believe it) when they didn't openly accept it. She even
slightly badmouthed one of her sons to me for not returning her phone calls or letters (he obviously wanted nothing to do with her). Apparently, she felt he was supposed to jump for joy his dad was wearing make-up and dresses, and then at 50-years-old, announcing he wanted to be a female. The funny thing is, she did tell me when we first met (she was still living as a male then) that she felt like she was a heterosexual crossdresser who became sexually-aroused while wearing fem attire. I'm not exactly sure when it set in with her that she
was actually a female trapped in the wrong body.
