That family example I was referring to from my friend's comment was referring to the world aka mainstream audience at large, specifically on his stance on trying to use his ideas to promote romance between humans and anthros in mainstream media (TV, comics, video games). Anyway that's why I believe it's just as important for to fight the world for change and peace than to make the transhumanistic choice of changing as well, however it's also something that both parties need to agree on when facing the world together. It took decades (or nearly a century) for us to accept our own races when we started mingling with each other in the same land, I wouldn't expect the whole world to be to totally fine with a fine human romantically going out with a former full human in a few short years, I'm seeing about less than 2 decades at best, before the whole thing just becomes "meh" to them.

I understand what you're saying as well, it is much more romantic and a show of love for the guy to change too so his lover won't be alone in her new form because it shows dedication and sacrifice while refusing to change is much more selfish. But I don't think it's a good way to deal with this and feels more like caving into peer pressure (like in "There She Is") or something like that. However as I said before it has to be a decision that the couple both has to be willing to face the world together like that (non-change option), and they must have strong hearts and determination to weather this fight. But if one of them breaks it then that choice I'm pushing really does become a "is it worth it?" question. However I think this option really is worth it despite how dangerous it could be it really just depends on the people who make it and to see if they could follow that path without making that (last, other mistakes can made like any other choice) fatal wrong turn that would ruin their lives. That path also depends on the world they live in as well.
