Bobbie Thompson’s memoir, My HUSBAND Looks Better in Lingerie Than I Do ... DAMN IT, offers a rare and deeply personal perspective rarely seen in the landscape of transgender narratives. As the devoted spouse of Alana Nicole Sholar, a transgender woman and author of Hung in the Middle: A Journey of Gender Discovery, Bobbie tells the story not of physical transformation, but of emotional and relational transition, of love, acceptance, and growth.
Bobbie and Alana’s story spans decades. They first met nearly 25 years before Bobbie’s memoir was published. Their relationship deepened during an intimate three-year period in the mid-1990s. But it wasn’t until 2006, when Bobbie saw Alana living authentically as a woman for the first time, that her world was turned upside down.
