My fiance recently told me that he had a gender identity issue but that he has it under control. Shall I take him at his word or is this more then I can expect him to handle?

You and your fiance need to be very, very careful about going any further in your relationship without looking at this issue closer. Gender dysphoric feelings DO NOT CHANGE simply because someone has fallen in love. There are no "miracle drugs" and the only hormone that helps gender dysphoria in males is estrogen. I suggest that you read: Trans Forming Families: Real Stories About Transgendered Loved Ones, 2nd Edition by Ari Ishtar Lev (Editor), Mary Boenke (Editor), Jessica Xavier (Introduction) The book is available on Amazon.com and should give you a good insight on how other couples have handled the problem. It is a positive book and you may be surprised as to your options.
