On the night of their 25th anniversary, Roy admits something to her wife Irma that she's been hiding the entire time: she wants to live as a woman named Ruth from now on.Ruth's transition is a difficult one. She faces ostracism in her small-town, from friend and family alike. Not even her preacher understands her plight. Her wife and son take the change specially hard.Normal is a 2003 drama revolving around a married couple where one decides to transition after 25 years of marriage.

Easy Sex Change: Averted. Ruth has to wait over a year to get surgery and, even then, her transition doesn't magically make her into a bombshell. She still looks pretty similar to how she did pre-transition.
