This is literally my current relationship situation, and hey, I’m happy :3
We both look a bit different on the outside, but on the inside…this is us 🩷

Also I won’t ever stop wearing this really fucking stupid-looking hoodie. You literally can’t make me 😭

    I feel it’s because (generally), they like both either way and so their loved one transitioning is like having both cakes and eat it too /lh

    Not in a chaser sense, but a genuine sense of “omg, amazing, i get to enjoy both sides from the same person?” and that for a trans person, being pre-transition, they can feel safer knowing chances are in their favour that the other will like them regardless.

    Like I’ve heard tales w/ cishet and trans relationships where it is more of a coinflip – sometimes they realise they do love them regardless, othertimes they realise, “sorry, i don’t swing that way”. And that is okay too, as long as it ends on good terms. That goes in general with most relationships and ties: whether they strand or not, having good terms is the big part.

    Sure, it can still be the case that it doesn’t work out eventually between bi and trans people in a relationship. But that’s less likely to be due to the transition itself, and that’s kind of relaxing in some way.

      I’m gonna be brutally honest…
      I started reading this and got super offended 😂
      But then…you know, that actually makes a lot of sense. I think you’re right.

      My bf once told me “I don’t love you as a boy or a girl…I love you as you” and I’m still not sure how to feel about that…but I’m starting to think it was a compliment ♥️
      This was months ago. I am DENSE, lol
