1. Are you monogamous, polyamorous, or open?
Monogamous :'P

2. Do you live together?
You'd think after almost 4 years... We were so young when we got together though (both 18) that moving in together would be a bit unreasonable :'P.

3. Is your partner male or female? Are they cisgendered?
Cicgendered male. Rarely acts it though. His sensitivity makes him cute :'D.

4. Have you be together pre-transition or did you meet after?
Pre-transition. Hell, I hadn't even come to terms with this whole mess back then XP.

5. For people who have been together pre-transition, how did you partner handle the news and how did you bring it up?
I had been sober about a year, and knew it was about time to be honest to myself and others. I had to be patient though, and careful, so I waited a while to tell him. I didn't want to lie to him, but I had to be sensitive to his feelings. I knew this could easily be one of the most humiliating experiences of his life if I wasn't careful. So one night around our two year anniversary, I finally told him in the sanest way I could (in other words I lost my ->-bleeped-<- and cried like a child xD). His first words were "God, you really are the man in this relationship." The he said that he was ok with it o.o. Considering how homophobic he was, it caught me by surprise XP. His situation was because he was in the closet though, so it makes sense :'P. So about two years later and things are good :'D.

Shes been really supportive towards my whole transition. Some people are not so bad :)

My partner loves me no matter how I view my own gender or what my body's like. So while it's taken him a little while to actually really understand it, he's fine with it.

I actually pulled it off for awhile about year into our relationship, I felt like a jerkface our whole relationship so I just called her one night and told her that I am inlove with her but i was born a female but I want to keep this relationship going. She stayed with me for awhile, very very mad at everything, broke up with me, cried to me, we were friends for a few months, then we ended up getting back together. Have been ever since.

1. Are you monogamous, polyamorous, or open?
Strictly monogamous, never questioned it really.

2. Do you live together?
We've only been dating for a couple months so far, so no. I certainly hope we do one day though, and we're both hoping for a long-term relationship here.

3. Is your partner male or female? Are they cisgendered?
Cisgendered female.

4. Have you be together pre-transition or did you meet after?
We were close friends for a while before I came out to her, and not yet dating. As a demisexual, I'm very slow when it comes to relationships and understanding attraction, so we didn't start dating until we'd already been great buddies for around 9 months or so.

5. For people who have been together pre-transition, how did you partner handle the news and how did you bring it up?
We're both artists, and she'd always known that the characters I've developed that are the most self-representative of me are always male. But she's Christian so I was worried that I'd be risking our friendship by telling her. I was relieved to find out she's so accepting and also a pansexual, thus non-judgmental towards that aspect entirely. After we did start going out, she told me she'd had feelings for me before I came out, and just wants me to do whatever I have to in order to be comfortable in my own skin. She's always made it clear that she's in love with who I am, and that's what matters.

Konnor

1. Are you monogamous, polyamorous, or open?
Monogamous.
2. Do you live together?
Not yet. Been together about 6 months. Hopefully if things keep going as they are now, we'll live together in a year or two.

3. Is your partner male or female? Are they cisgendered?
Cisgender gay/pansexual male.

4. Have you be together pre-transition or did you meet after?
He met me as Konnor, although I haven't done much in regards to transitioning yet. Just bind/pack and can be myself with certain friends/family members/etc.

5. For people who have been together pre-transition, how did you partner handle the news and how did you bring it up?
It wasn't really pre-transition. But we met online, it was on my profile so he's known from the start. It was rocky at the beginning because he had never been with anyone AFAB, but we've worked through it and have a pretty fantastic relationship :)

Monogamous

2. Do you live together?

Yes -  3.5 years

3. Is your partner male or female? Are they cisgendered?

Cis female

4. Have you be together pre-transition or did you meet after?

Pre-transition - we were off and on for ten years before getting serious

5. For people who have been together pre-transition, how did you partner handle the news and how did you bring it up?

I told her a couple days after we started to get involved this last time (I'd sorted it out while we had been apart), and her response was, essentially, "yeah, I know" and "I didn't think you'd ever figure it out."  She's been completely and proactively supportive, and there has been no transition-related interpersonal drama.

1. Are you monogamous, polyamorous, or open?
Monogamous.

2. Do you live together?
Not yet, but we both want a serious relationship so hopefully will happen at some point :) Currently there's about 100 or so miles in the way :P

3. Is your partner male or female? Are they cisgendered?
Although I currently refer to SO as "he" since that's how he lives, he described himself as "physically male but doesn't want to be". Also mentioned having a neutral gender identity.

4. Have you be together pre-transition or did you meet after?
We met on OKCupid in January this year, after I'd been on T for about 15 months. I'm pretty sure in fact that this trans thing was a big pull in the first place :) (Funny story: we were talking about holidaying with past partners, and I said "Yeah, as Sarah." He paused, before saying "You as Sarah just doesn't work" ;D )

1. Are you monogamous, polyamorous, or open?
Monogamous, but have discussed polyamory at a few times. Seems it's not for us, but we agreed to renegotiate if ever needed.
2. Do you live together?
Not yet, but hopefully going to next year! We've been together for two years, and are discussing living together part time this summer.

3. Is your partner male or female? Are they cisgendered?
Trans male.

4. Have you be together pre-transition or did you meet after?
Post social transition, pre-t.

5. For people who have been together pre-transition, how did you partner handle the news and how did you bring it up?
He has known since day one that I will probably medically transition some day, it was implicit since the beginning. He's been really great at helping me decide what I want to do since he understands dysphoria and the effects of t and all that. I've actually been the difficult one in all this. I had a rough time when he started T because I felt envious that I wasn't ready to start yet and it made me feel pressured to make a decision about myself. We worked through that though.

Strictly monogamous. I'm too jealous to share lol.

5. For people who have been together pre-transition, how did you partner handle the news and how did you bring it up?
Ironically, he told me about it. I live under a rock and had no idea about FTMs  >_>
I offhandly told him that I'd "always wanted to be a boy" (which was weird cause I'd never told anyone), and he explained to me that I could be trans and told me to look into it. At first I was sad cause I figured he'd bail, but he's actually stuck around and supported me as best he can   ;D
