Touching/Heartwarming moments whilst transitioning

The happy tears are flowing

Before transitioning I was only used to getting hit on in gays bars, gay gyms etc usually only areas where a lot of gay guys were around.

But now straight guys are nice to me. I'm not used to it and I love it. Sometimes I get the door held for me and called words like
"sweetheart".

When I first came out I was worried about what one deeply religious friend of over 25 years would say. She asked
"Do you prefer Allison or Allie?". That was over a year ago and still the only question she has asked about my transition. She has never gotten my name or pronouns wrong once. She accepted me as me without batting an eye.

Such good stories/experiences.

One of my friends, whom I've never really straight out discussed my transition with, randomly messaged me something nice the other day. We had just hung out, but nothing went wrong or happened that I think would spur this on. But anyway, he messaged me saying something along the lines of, "I'm sorry you get misgendered and people use the wrong name and stuff, like your mom. You don't deserve that." It really blew me away because nobody has ever straight out told me that I deserve better than I so often get, and it was even more special because it came from somebody who has never really said anything about my transition. He supports me and all that, but we've never brought it up in conversation. So anyway, that was really nice. Probably in the top 3 best moments of my transition so far.
