It's possible. Stay strong.
I just want to give a shout out to all of those who are in a relationship with a transguy. I, myself, am in one. His name is Max, and we’ll be going on 4 months together as of March 5th. And yeah, sometimes our relationship gets really rocky (part of that, is because we live 2 hours away from each other, and see each other about 1 or 2 times a month) But, in the end, the relationship can be...

Anonymous asked: Although I support my boyfriend, I feel like he is all we ever talk about. I know transitioning is difficult, but does it have to run my life too? Maybe I'm just not strong enough for this.

Anonymous asked: I want to start out by saying i love my boyfriend. but i just don't know how to cope with his dysphoria. it makes me so sad that i can't do anything to make him feel better, i try to talk to him and get his mind off of it but its almost like he wants to be upset about it, he crawls into a hole in his mind and i can't get him out. do you have any suggestions?

My View of Mental and Emotional Changes from a...
My boyfriend and I have been together for over 4 months and before we got together, he identified as genderqueer. In January, he came out to me as trans. I knew that he needed me and that I wanted to be as supportive as I could so I’ve been educating myself. Everything will tell you the physical changes, not the mental or emotional ones. He’s not out at home, so he is forced to live as...
The Emotional Transition - From the Eyes of a...
6 months into my relationship, my partner came out to me as transgender. Immediately, I knew I wanted to be as supportive as possible. I tried to validate him and to look online for information on the process. I wanted to be as educated as possible. I found a lot about the things that he would be going through - Testosterone, surgeries, etc. I read about the risks and the potential side...
"More of a pre-transitioning stage"
My boyfriend has had very little… actually pretty much no physical transition yet.. Just the name and pronoun changes so far really.. and that’s because he isn’t out to his family.. So I totally understand that situation. I’d by no means call myself an expert, but if anybody wants to talk, my ask box is open. I’d prefer you don’t go on anon so I can answer...

Anonymous asked: This may seem like an odd question, but do have anything to say to partners of ftms who are nervous and going through their own transition of their partner changing, and soon, physically? I'm an ftm and know this isn't entirely easy for my partner, whom I began dating before I discovered my trans* identity. Bearing that in mind, having to make that mental adjustment, what could you tell...

Emotional Transition
Since my boyfriend has not really started to transition, he’s more in the pre-transitioning stage. He hasn’t had a lot of changes happen. If people are informed on this subject please submit!

Anonymous asked: You could talk about how the transitioning of our ftm's, and how at times, the emotional transition is far worse than the external transition.

I love my boyfriend Kayden Louis
My boyfriend and I are coming up on our one year anniversary. In a year so much has changed! We’ve been through a lot of rough times that made us stronger as a couple. He’s finally taking small steps in his transition, even when the obstacles blocking him are immense. We moved in together, got a cat together, moved back out and spent the summer in a long distance relationship, got...

My reply button was messing up sorry!
Hey! I’m currently the partner of a transitioning FTM. We’ve been together for 2 years and he came out to me 6 months into our relationship. I struggle a lot with the internal changes more than the external changes & feeling alone in my struggle.
That is totally normal, what you can do is give me information about where you live and I will let you know about some support groups for you. If...

I promised I wouldn't fall apart.
This is what I hate more than anything. The look he gives me when I call him handsome, like I just granted him the most majestic title on earth. I feel shattered, broken, saddened. These words he should hear all the time, so, why doesn’t he? I tell him, but why don’t other people? It’s breaks me inside. I promised him I would be his rock, but when I feel him breaking I want to...
OMG SO MANY FOLLOWERS (: THANK YOU.

LGB and Trans*
I have been working in the LGBT community for a couple weeks now and I have made some observations. First off, Transgender people are very active in working for the LGBT community, at least where I am located, which I think is awesome because (second observation) they are not put first often. I have observed the ignorance of people that stand for LGBT community. Education on trans* persons is...

cecesque replied to your post: hey guys, anything you want me to write about?
How you’ve developed personally from your relationship (what your partner has taught you etc) and also sex if you don’t mind (any aspect of sex is fine)
My relationship has taught me a number of things. First off, I was very ignorant to the spectrum of gender and sexuality. I would never think that someone could...

Update on mine and Luc's life
Me
I am interning with TransOhio where I am writing a resource manual that will have place and such that are trans* friendly and that are good, helpful resources. I am also interning at Stonewall where I am hopefully doing a fundraiser for Transohio…YAYY. I am done with High school which is scary and Luc and I are having some troubles and it’s hard. I am having kind of an identity...
My story :-)
Hey everyone :)
My name is Katrin, I’m from Germany and I’ve been in a relationship with a transguy for 9 months now. I’ve been trying to find a place online where I can exchange my feelings and experiences with other people who are in the same situation as me.
Right now, my boyfriend has just had his outing with his parents and at school and I’m so excited that...

Anonymous asked: My boyfriend is really, really early in his transition. He's not even 100% sure he wants to transition. I really like calling him my boyfriend, though, and I want to be involved and supportive of his transition. I want to be a good girlfriend. Any advice for a couple just starting to look at the uncertainty ahead?
