1. The (former) man in a married couple after a transition to being a woman.

3. Affirms both who the transgender person is and who she used to be in the marriage.
4. Used as a sign of fondness for, and with light-hearted humor about, the person one married when they no longer identify as the man you married.
5. Can be used to help a listener
understand that this person used to be a different gender. Affirms that the
transgender woman appreciates both who she was as a man and who she is now as a woman.
I'm pleased to introduce you to my wosband, Samantha, whom you knew as Sam.
Toni transitioned a decade ago and my daughter can't
imagine being married to a more perfect wosband.
The love of your life used to be your husband Chris, and is now your wosband Kris.
We are in the
awkward phase of transition right now; my wosband Dani looks familiar to you because this
individual used to be my husband Danny.
