I wonder if there is a particular loneliness in being a trans person who transitions within a relationship with someone who never considered themselves part of the LGBTQ community at all. :(
#it's not about getting partners in this position to change their identified sexuality FYI! That's not something i'm interested in#cis bi and pan people in 'straight' relationships go through something a bit similar i think#i would know i was in that position for a while before coming out as trans#it's so boring and shit to constantly overthink everything and everywere i look i see something else to make me feel bad#about whether i measure up whether my relationship measures up to some arbitrary standard#do we matter? am i worthwhile? is my straight socialisation tripping me up?? (/joke)#how can i gain the boundless confidence of someone who never stops talking about being queer with joy and happiness#and how can i bring my boyfriend into the queer world in an accepting and loving way for him#when he is part of many groups ostracised in any community#and we live so far apart it fucking sucks he's never even met my lgbtq meetup group friends!#and even then they have a no allies rule so it's like is he even an ally now? does dating me and i'm a trans man count?? Can i bring him???#honestly i barely want to talk to them about it i don't want to go there :(#i preferred it when my extremely cis and straight friend asked me 'so are you and bf gay now how does it work?'#that felt honest y'know?
