She knew since she was about 6 years old that she wasn't comfortable in a male body. When we met, she told me about it and she started hormones shortly after. To be honest, our relationship hasn't ever been homosexual in nature, since she's always been uncomfortable with her male parts. We haven't actually had sex yet.

Actually, no! I identify as bisexual with a female bias, so it works really well for me.

A rollercoaster, but not a scary one. When she first started on hormones, she was an emotional mess for quite some time. As she continued through her transition, it was a challenge to help her keep an optimistic viewpoint about her future and especially to encourage her to be comfortable with her body as it changed. It took a while for her to go out in public presenting as female. Sometimes it took a lot of white lies.

There has been some sexual tension, but not much. Though we haven't had actual sex, we have fun however we can and are very intimate. It's a huge weight lifted for me now that she's had the surgery. I'm almost beside myself because in just a few months we can finally be together in the closest way possible.

Aside from the physical changes, the hormones have really affected her personality. She's still the same goofball but she's more outgoing and less shy. But her anxiety levels have taken off, and it has been the hardest part to adjust to, because I really don't understand it. I think though that the surgery will greatly improve that.

Mostly positive! When she came out of work we were really surprised at how wonderful most everyone was about it. There have been some people who can't adjust to the change, they tend to avoid her. One or two keep using her dead name intentionally. But there hasn't been any outright hostility, thankfully.

Strangers for the most part either just assume automatically that she's a girl or they get confused.
