In 2008, sewing blogger Melissa Fehr revealed something on her blog: she'd been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder. Soon, she'd need a complete bone marrow transplant.

In September 2015, Marie wrote a post on her sewing blog called "Loving a Person, Not Their Gender." In that post, she talked about the experience of having her partner come out as transgender. In today's story, we talk to Marie and her girlfriend Charlotte about that experience, and what came after.
 
Editor's note: At the end of this episode, the name of Marie's blog is misidentified as Diary of a Sewing Fanatic, another lovely sewing blog. Marie's blog is called A Stitching Odyssey. We apologize for the error.
