    Cassandra Gay Peterson

    Spouse Mark Pierson (m. 1981; div. 2003)

    Partner Teresa Wierson (2002–present)

    Are we sure her husband didn’t transition?

      Probably separated from her husband earlier than 2003 and began dating Teresa prior to divorce.

      Divorce can take a significant amount of time (have a friend who separated, started dating another person, got pregnant, and gave birth before the divorce was complete).

      I suppose div.2003 stands for divorce, plus the two timespans overlap, so it wouldn’t make sense

        Yeah, because a woman has never continued pretending to be a man in some situations while openly identifying as a woman in others for the sake of safety or convenience. So anyone spending any effort investigating that would be wasting their time.

          Considering the date (23 years ago) and the fact that it’s on wikipedia, I think if that were the case it would be written differently, then again no wikipedia page for either name so please do research and tell me if I’m wrong

      Trying not to get into transgestigation territory, but her husband was significantly taller than current partner.

      Sidenote: they are all very good looking people, I never imagined that Elvira is a redhead irl
