Love this comment. A woman starts telling her husband that now he’s gay and he refuses to play along:

I (masc NB) am in a marriage with a man who self identifies as heterosexual. When I came out he had a bit of a crisis because he doesn't feel like he can be in a gay relationship. I on my part felt a bit uneasy in him still considering our relationship straight. The way we resolved it (still working on it, but we are more settled) is realising that after all is said labels are just approximations. He can consider himself straight as a generalization and still enjoy our relationship that we custom built in years together. And I can still consider myself in a gay relationship and enjoy the unique queerness of it regardless of the way he identifies. Sure this is coming from 23 years of learning to give space to each other and finding each other midway. I hope you will be able to talk things through, it is a good test to know if the relationship is based on good premises. Good luck

Lol, lady your husband is most likely just trying to appease you as much as he can for now, hoping you'll eventually outgrow this phase and go back to being a woman. Probably doesn't want to throw away 23 years of marriage over this (probably?) midlife crisis you're having.
