Living with a girlfriend.I coped by getting wasted and disappearing for weeks at a time and she binned me.I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I told her,maybe I would have had a partner instead of being single forever

I was in a long-term relationship at the time. It was a part of the reason we broke up, even though I didn't end up transitioning for another several years.

I was single. How about a height or age poll? Naturally, we all know that the ratio of head hair per square inch versus the thickness of the little toes calluses is the only TRUE measure of a transgender person!

Thanks Devlyn, I LMAO!  There are so many ingenious attempts to codify what seems, to me, to be just another great part of natural human variation.  Diversity rocks!

I have been married essentially all of my adult life.  My partner held my secret, then helped get me in to therapy and remains the love of my life.  I am a lucky girl.

I was in long term relationship and still am. We had been together for almost four years when I came out to my fiancée and honestly she was the one who kicked my butt to get my transition started for real.

good to hear

I was married, but I am not anymore. I was a bit worried about being able to find anyone, but I have had a girlfriend since then.

twice divorced by thirty, but I didn't transition til 40. Both spouses knew about my issues and it could have been a contributing factor in them deciding to bail, but then I was a bit of an ->-bleeped-<- back then too. They did teach me that relationships aren't really my thing though.

looks like we're headed towards an inverted Bell Curve

Long term relationship when I started... and still in the same long term relationship It hasn't been easy, and sometimes I worry I put too much strain on our relationship... but we are still together.

I was divorced for 3 years when I realized, and it was after an 11 year marriage to a woman. First, I found out that I was actually attracted to men, then shortly after I realized I was a woman.

I don't think it was possible for me to come out of my closets, to myself, until after I had adequate space after my relationship ended. I was too deep in my performance as a straight man and being in the relationship was an addiction in itself.

[Eva Marie]

In a long term marriage when I began to figure it out in my mid 40s, and found myself served with divorce papers when I started to address the issue @ 51

Pretty sure I was single. Age 6 in the first grade when the teacher said you have beautiful eye lashes & you would make such a pretty little girl but you are a boy & have to sit with the boys. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Long Term Relationship, still in that same relationship and its going great.

[Cindy]

Teenager, in relationships with men. Now married (happily and supportive) and still in relationships with men.

Ye, where is the complicated button?

[Northern Jane]

I knew, as a child (1950s) but there wasn't even a term for it then). I wasn't attracted to girls but to boys (after puberty). A shrink told my parents I was homosexual but I said no, I was a girl. My only "sexual encounters" were with boys. It wasn't until age 16 that I was diagnosed by Dr. Benjamin as a "Type VI Transsexual", started hormones (legally) at 17, and had SRS at 24, when it became available. I wasn't sexually involved with a girl until a few years post-op - was pretty wild with the boys though LOL! - and married (a man) at age 26.

[Sabrina]

I was single and still am. I'm looking for a significant other but I have high standards and won't go out with just anyone.

[LeaP]

Married, still am, and expect to transition and have my marriage survive.

(But TS ... not "transgender.")
