Hello, I'm Base. My partner and I have had a long term relationship for nearly 10 years now. I live in Reno, Nevada and she lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over the last few years my mate has become more assertive of her female identity but feels the fear and strain from doing so. I offer what advice I can -- join forums, speak with therapists, talk to friends -- but lately it seems she is just too fearful to do any of those. She tells me she is stuck and has no support because she was rejected for hormone treatments. Whenever I approach her to even join a forum like this one, she gets upset and tells me she doesn't have the energy.
I simply don't know what to do anymore. I am desperate to help my mate, but I have no idea what to say to her. At this point, I am willing to get any resources available.
